7th Birthday Party at IT'Z

We celebrated Gavin's 7th birthday at IT'Z again. He loves it and so do the big kids! He had a lego theme, it snowed all day and here are the pictures from the party.

I asked Gavin "what was the best part of your day?"

"IT'Z",

" what was the best part of that?"

"All of it!"

So there you have it! Now you can enjoy some pictures from the party! Pardon the random order-- just enjoy!

Third Week of February

We as a family have had a very busy third week of February. So to start we have pictures of Gavin spending time with the Air Force academy Water Polo team.

This is a candle made by a staff member for a circle ceremony that I had the chance to participate in during 3 days of learning to "Re-Ignite the Spirit of Care". It was very inspirational and mentally draining. But I learned alot about me and my co-workers.

Beatuiful picture on the wall at our conference center. The black horse didn't really turn out well in the picture-- he came across more grey then black.

So for the past 3 days I have had the chance to drive thru the Garden of the Gods and today, Friday 2/19/10, it had snowed and here are pictures from my drive.

Peek-a-boo

Figure my Dad will enjoy these pictures the most.

Home made Lego cards

Red and Blue Lego cards

I need to thank Spottedcanary.com and Created by Jennifer blog for ideas for the lego cards. Thanks for the ideas! I just wish I had more card making equipment and I think they would have turned out a little nicer but.... not shabby for a first -timer! Gavin likes them so I guess that is all that matters!

Birthday planning time

So today Phil saw his shadow and 6 more weeks of winter. Hmmmmmmm! Have we really had a winter here. I am thinking no, but I do know of other places who have had lots of snow and cold.

So Gavin has his birthday this month and wants a Lego theme. So being a busy mom, I am first working on it now-- shame, shame! So I search on-line hoping to find Lego invitations, not so much luck in that endeavor. So I believe I have found a few blogs that show invitations that I will try to go out and create today. Wish me luck!

I should also decorate for Valentines Day as it will be here first, but I just don't know where all my time goes. Had great intentions yesterday, but was so exhausted, I took a nap while the phone rang off the hook. Then couldn't sleep last night and am exhausted today. Shame on me!

Let's see what I get done today-- as Gavin afterschool has Chess club and Air Force. Wish me luck! OH! Almost forgot that today is my volunteer day at school-- so I may not get much done! Ooops!
