Yummy Chicken Nuggets

Tonight I made some great chicken nuggets from a recipe from the book Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfield. She has a ton of great ways to get your kids to eat veggies without even knowing that they are. Of course you still offer them the veggies on their plate but little do they know that you have coated that nugget in broccoli before you cooked it! Plus, everything is really tasty so far.

Getting Ready for Napa

This was us on our last trip to Napa. We leave 2 weeks from Saturday and we are super excited. I can't wait to see everyone and during this trip both of the girls are flower girls in my cousin's wedding. Hopefully I will find my camera by then, if not I hope Carolina lets me copy her pictures!

Go See This Movie!

The Girls on the 4th!

Amazing Skydivers

Ok this is really crappy video of an amazing jump. We thought there was just going to be one jumper, the plane took off and one guy lit up the sky. Then a few seconds later 2 more guys were also lit and it was awesome! The last guy to land had the American Flag and the crowd went wild. Sorry for the jumpy video, I had to reach down and grab Giuliana because everyone stood up to watch them land and she couldn't see anymore.

Happy 4th of July! Thornton 2008

Jake and I started a new family tradition last year with the 4th of July celebrations, every year we go to a new city in the metro area for their fireworks show. This year we went to Thornton for their celebration and it was fantastic. They started at 6pm with vendors selling (my favorite) fair food, along with glow in the dark jewelry. Around 7:30 they had an F-16 fly over which was amazing, Giuli kept yelling "again, again!" Right after that they had the Longmont Symphony playing American marches and Phantom of the Opera which was wonderful and the kids really got into it. When it got dark they had a patriotic parachute jump, which was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen and I am going to load the video when I am done with this post, and they kicked off the fireworks. We had so many great invitations this year for parties but the truth is that Jake felt pretty horrible all day and barely felt up to the show. He sat in his fold up chair almost the whole time while the kids and I ventured out a bit. We still had a great time though and it's going to be hard not to go back next year.
