Little Monkey Bizness

I took the girls to Little Monkey Bizness the other day. It's always a good time! Now that Brooklyn is walking, she enjoys this place even more chasing Ella around:)

Family Game Night for Nina's Birthday!

Thursday nights have become family game nights in the Wheeler household. This particular Thursday happened to be the night we were celebrating Nina's birthday too:) Happy Birthday Nina!!!
Kids Cranium
Wii...Ella must have been really into her move here!

Busted!

I came around the corner to find Brooklyn in the pantry throwing handfuls of oatmeal as if it were snow and laughing like crazy! This kid is seriously into everything! She can't be out of our sight for a second.

Hi!

Brooklyn loves saying hi to people:) We walk around the grocery store now and she smiles, waves and says, "Hi!" She also loves to say it to Josh when he walks in the door from work, it's really sweet!

Dinosaur Ridge

Josh went golfing last weekend at a course that is carved into a canyon with real dinosaur fossils around it! There is a place called Dinosaur Ridge right next to it with other fossils and cool things to do that the girls and I went to. It was awesome! They loved it! It was really interesting to learn that part of Colorado used to be in the ocean! Ella and I learned a lot and she thought it was pretty much the coolest thing she's ever seen:)
Crocodile tracks climbing out of what used to be a river!


Playing with the fossils

Josh's Company Picnic

Hot, humid and 99 degrees in Denver....and we had Josh's company picnic! Girls were so hot! Ella had a great time though in the jumping castle:) There was also a guy walking around on stilts...Ella looked at him and said, "Mama, don't let that man come near me ok?" She was terrified of him!

High School Reunion!

I can't believe it's really been 10 years! We had so much fun hanging out with such great friends and now their kids! Seems like our kids jumped in and picked up where we left off:) I was too busy catching up with everyone...I didn't take many pictures at all!!
