This past weekend was filled with Birthday Parties!! Beckett turned 2 and Jack turned 1!
This is my very unsuccessful attempt to retrieve the paper that was holding the cupcake. SO Colin just went ahead and ate the paper as well :)
Quite the crew! 
Here is the view from our back porch.... 2.5 feet of snow with six more inches expected :)
And here is the view of our cu-de-sac. Looks like we're not going to be heading out any thime today :)
WHile I was cleaning and doing laundry, the boys decided to build a fort in the play room :)
Later that night we had the neighborhood kiddos over to decorate Halloween Cookies :)
eenMy boys just wnred to eat the cookies... not so much into the decor.
Brodie....
Natalie...
And Grey had great decorating skills!
They're getting ready to conquer the cold....
The next day one of the neighbors had a little spare time and created a friend for the kiddos!
This thing is HUGE!!!!
The boys built a snow polar bear together. So sweet!!!
Just look at these two. They just love the snow. Last winter we couldn't get them to stay out for more than 5 minutes in the snow!!! What was supposed to be a day of a few scattered snow flurries ended by us waking up this morning to 8 inches of snow. But don't fret, the temps were back in the mid 50's this afternoon.... only in Colorado :)
Austin switched to a new preschool and his old school pals missed him bunches. We had them over this week to decorate Halloween cookies. There was approximately 6 moms and 12 kiddos. It was an absolute BLAST!
We went to our friends Luka and Kiya's 4th Birthday Party and it had a fire fighting theme. Austin totally dug it!
The whole crew was there. We started the party at the fire station, where one of the fire fighters gave the kiddos a tour of the truck and the station.
Yes, we managed to get all 12 kids to sit still and pose for some pics on the ambulance.
The party ended in Luka and Kiya's backyard where the kids played fire rescue games, made fire fighter picture frames and ate a fire engine cake :)
Joel and I celebrated our 5 year Anniversary on September 3rd. So many wonderful memories and so many more to come. We are truly blessed my love. Thank you so much for this wonderful life. The hard times and the good have made us stronger. Our love grows more with each breath that we take together in our journey as a family. Here's a look back at some of our good times over the past 5 years.
Here we are in Rome.
And at the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris,
And in the gardens of Versailles.
Here we are in Cabo San Lucas with a 3 month old little Austin!
Precious Austin...
Adorable Colin...
And us... the Lucius Family :) Thank you for 5 wonderful years and these beautiful little boys!
Here's the boy's excited for their first day back to school. Austin had to have Spider Man everything,,, backpack and lunch box. Colin wasn't as concerned.
Check out Colin's personalized backpack. His Great Aunt Wilma got it for him :)
Here's Colin with his new pals, Parker and Ryan.
He didn't even notice me leaving nor did he care... But when it came to nap time, Colin is not cooperative at all. I have now gotten 2 phone calls to pick him up b/c he is so upset. Colin was supposed to be my easy child !?!
Austin celebrated his 3rd Birthday Hula style, with about 30 of his school, play date and neighborhood friends... 45 of their parents... for a grand total of 75ppl. So much for trying to keep things intimate :-)
We had a casual sandwich table and a pasta bar served with lemonade for the little kiddos and Sangria for the big kiddos.
Austin chose a 'Football' cake for the occasion. Costco really wooed our guests with a delightful white cake filled with chocolate moose and topped with a cream cheese frosting. It was a big hit!
We filled the backyard with tons of fun gym equipment from my work and set out several art crafts for the kids.
Austin was quite the cutie pie... he loved having all his friends over, and of course being the center of attention!
Colin wasn't quite sure what to think of all the ruckus.
However, Colin did enjoy the cake :)
I painted a little hula portrait for the kids and adults to take their pictures in,
Thanks to my wonderful mom's who made this party possible! Don't know what we'd do without them. Love you two!
Some of the gang from Austin's school.
And of course Austin's long time friends (practically family :)
Hey, I gotta try to get a pic with him... so much for a big smile. He just wanted to get back to playing.
We love the Lynch family... Look at those lovely little ladies! Penny and Brian sure do have their hands full... litter ally!
Here's the boys the morning after... we were off to our 3rd BDay Party of the weekend (out of 4)
