Fun at the Sand Dunes!

The first time we went to the sand dunes it was cold, stormy, and we were unprepared so convincing the kids to go yesterday was no less than a chore.....however, I bribed them with a cheese pizza from Dominoes, got some shovels and buckets, and packed cheetos and cookies.  The result? We spent five hours!  After 3.5 hours I asked if they were ready to head home and was met with three emphatic nos!  LOL!  It was a wonderful afternoon full of fun, sun, sand, and more sand! I had some pooped and happy critters when we got home! I love my kids!! <3

Boys & Girls Masquerade Ball

So we got tickets through work and a friend and I went to the Boys & Girls Masquerade Ball on Saturday! What an awesome time! Great food! I won a $600 entertainment package in Denver including a $50 gift card to Cheesecake Factory, Pit passes at the Bandimere Speedway for "Nights of Thunder", a one night stay at the Brunsville Hotel in their Executive City Suite including room service, and two tickets to the Wildlife Experience! I spent $5 dollars and played heads or tails against about 200 others to win!! Very exciting! They had other fun items like fake marraiges for $5 and fake annulments for $10 so we did both! Haha  Here are some pictures!

My non-maternity dress still fit!!

Our costumes!

Our table's $100 ugly cake! The pretty ones went for $375 or more!

I was going through my pictures while I unpacked and cannot believe the uncanny resemblance between my baby pictures and Reagan!  My hair and eyes were a bit darker but you take a look!

Baby update and pictures. 21 weeks!!
