I just want to say thank you to everyone who made my birthday so special. It really was the best ever. With the phone calls and singing, to emails and texts, to cards and gifts, thank you so much!! And to the BOY, who put so much thought and spared no expense to make sure I was smiling throughout the day. I truly am so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family. Who knew turning 29 could be so satisfying...thank you again!!!!

Angie's Birthday Gets Visit From Tooth Fairy
Today is Angie's Birthday!!! Sidney and I decided to spoil her....because everyone needs to be spoiled on their birthday. Angie tried to play it off in the days leading up to her birthday, but we knew she was excited. We would catch her looking at the cards that came in the mail, just wanting to open one.
I got up a little earlier than usual for a weekday so I could make Angie her omelet, a cappuccino and her favorite...blueberry pancakes. All 3 of us had breakfast together and then we let her open her cards and presents. She received lots of lovely cards with gift cards and cash from family. I gave her a gift card for a half day at the spa which includes an hour massage, manicure, and pedicure, each with oil treatments. Angie REALLY wanted a new toaster so that is what Sidney got her. Every girl needs flowers on her birthday, so I surprised Angie with 2 dozen colorful roses delivered to her at work this morning. We finished the birthday that evening by going to dinner with friends at Los Dos Potrillos, a great Mexican restaurant we all love...and of course birthday cake!!
Just after going to bed Sidney finally managed to pull a tooth which had been loose for a few days...she is persistent. Of course this meant the Tooth Fairy had to stop by that night. What wasn't planned was the Tooth Fairy being caught in the act and trying to hide on the floor when she couldn't find the tooth. The funny thing is, Sid had written 2 large notes with arrows pointing to the tooth's location!!!

Breakfast at the Zoo
This weekend both Alex and Taylor were able to come down to spend time with us. Since my family doesn't get to see the girls very often, Angie came up with the idea of making everyone breakfast at our house today. I swear she lives for this kind of stuff. She made blueberry pancakes, chocolate chip pancakes, eggs, hash browns, and of course bacon. It was delicious. Angie also made sure we got a family photo, the first one in a long time!!!
After breakfast everyone received gifts from Nancy, my sister. She recently returned from a long trip to Europe which included a cruise and brought souvenirs back for all. We then got to see numerous pictures of her trip. She visited some very beautiful places like Spain, Greece, Italy, France, and Croatia.

License to Drive
Alex has not been able to come down all summer so we were very excited to have her this weekend. She's been busy working at Dairy Queen, attending basketball camps, 4H, and of course has all kinds of new found freedom from getting her driver's license. Look out for that Nissan Sentra if you're driving in Northern Colorado!!!!
Check it out, she's all grown up, driver's license, ATM card, cash....what more could a teenage girl want!

Back to School
Today it is back to school for Sidney. She was very excited and could hardly sleep last night. She is the big fish in the pond (5th grade) this year and is looking forward to it.
Angie and I waited with Sid at the bus stop and of course she had to be the first one on the bus. The 5th graders get to sit in the back of the bus because that's the cool place to sit. She was very sweet and had one of our neighbors Trent sit with her back there, even though he is just starting Kindergarten.
This is Sid and her little crew. Veronica (V or Roni) is the little one, and Sedona is her big sister. You've probably read about them before involving Sid's many sleepovers!
Speaking of Back to School, can family members save any "Boxtops for Education" tops you come across and send them to us? Sidney appreciates it!!!

Amazing Jakes
Tuesday night Angie and I took Sidney and her friend Lilly to Amazing Jakes for an all you can eat buffet, rides, and games. We lost count of how many time Sidney climbed the rock wall.We also played air hockey, putt putt, lots of video games, laser tag, and rode the go-karts.
After the evening out, guess what, Sidney had another sleepover! Summer is almost over, so she needs to get them in while she can!
The dogs and I are starting to get into a routine where we get up early and go for a walk along the canal trail near our home. They get very excited about it. Soon we hope to recruit Angie as well. It's a good start to the day.
