Emilie's 4th Birthday

So we were recently in Montana for Emilie's 4th Birthday and boy was it fun. Matt got to help build a swingset and got to spend some quality time with his sister and neice. Julia ended up going with us, however, she spent the whole week on the couch and only got up when we went somewhere. Emilie's party was at the Zoo Montana where they let her choose an animal that she wanted to have an encounter with. She chose a Clydesdale. I think I personally would have chosen the tiger or the bear, but it was her choice and she had a blast feeding and petting the horses. Here are some pictures and videos from our trip.

Happy Birthday to you!!!

Colorado State Patrol

So, Saturday night, Matt got the opportunity to go out on patrol with the Colorado State Patrol from 4:30 PM until 4:30 AM on Sunday morning. Let me tell ya, way cool. I got to watch them test some shrooms to ensure they were drugs, I got to see how a roadside sobriety test goes, and got to see the Boulder County Jail all in the same night. Seeing as though I want to be a cop, I thought it was pretty cool to be out with them all night, and I even got to write a warning ticket to someone. I think CSP is the way to go being a cop though, I love being out in traffic and that is what I want to do. The other departments have to go to peoples houses to check in on them and stuff like that, which don't get me wrong, if I get offered a job with another department, I will take it, at least until CSP has an opening. Anyways, pretty fun stuff. I definitely suggest you try to get out on a ride sometime, even if you aren't wanting to be a cop. And don't worry, if I get on as a cop, you can ride along with me. Sorry, no pictures of this one, you will just have to imagine in your head how cool it was.

A Few Fun Things to Blog About

So, I was just going through and clearing out our camera, from back in November 2008. That shows you how few pictures we take lol. Well, we had some fun pictures that we wanted to show off. Most of you know that in March, right before Julia's surprise Birthday Party, we had the biggest snow storm of the season, the Spring Blizzard of 2009. Well, Molly and Liberty (our two black labs) had a blast in the snow. I caught some pretty good action shots of them, as well as a couple pics to show just how deep the snow really was at our house. Here are those pictures.

Julia's Birthday still turned out to be a big hit because the next day was nice and warm and melted a lot of the snow, We did, however, have to live without heat because the ignitor switch on our furnace went out, and what better time that during the blizzard. We slept with extra blankets because the house was only about 45 degrees inside. Brrr. We will have some pictures and videos of Julia's Birthday up soon. We just have to get them from Jessica.

Christina and Becca recently came out to visit for 2 weeks, and Christina brought her kids Eli and Leah and they are the cutest little kids in the world. They love to dance, so we took some pictures and video of them dancing. Here they are, very cute.

And the last tid bit that we want to share with you is the pictures that people have been waiting for of the Barney Room. It does not look as Bright now that the paint is dry, but it still kinda looks like Barney blew up, at least on the accent wall. Take a look at the room. Nice paint job Jewels.
