Fun with friends and Happy Birthday, Andrew!

Last weekend we had the pleasure of having our long-time friends, Mike and Jasie, come for a visit. We had such a good time while they were here! On Saturday, we decided to go to the Denver Aquarium and everyone had a great time. Here are some pictures from our time there....

The kids checking out the fish.
Happy Parker
Sadie wasn't in the greatest mood, but she loved the fish.
*Insert Jaws theme song here*
Checking out the big eel!
"Wook!"
Here, jellyfish!
Under the sea.
Checking out the Nemo display.

So much fun!
Looking at the sharks.
All of us!
Sunday was the day before Andrew's birthday and while the guys were out running around, Jasie and I stayed home and made some cupcakes for a surprise celebration that evening. Jasie and her mom run a small cupcake business, so she showed me all the great tricks to perfect cupcake making!

Jasie icing the mint chocolate chip cupcakes....
....and me adding the chopped Andes mints to the top!
We also made vanilla cupcakes, and here are both ready to serve! Aren't they pretty?
Andrew sure was surprised when his cousin, Sage, and our friends, Corey and Blythe, arrived that night! We had a really great time, and stayed up way too late....what could be better? Here is Andrew blowing out his candle after we sang "Happy birthday".
The kids loved their cupcakes!
Jasie, me, and Blythe.
Corey, Andrew, Sage, and Mike.
And here's a picture of Andrew and the kids on Monday, his actual birthday. Happy Birthday, Daddy!
