Mateo's Birthday party at Anderson Farms

Mateo's birthday is really in October. But since the weather in October is usually unpredictable, they usually have his birthday bash in September, when weather is much better!! 

As with previous years, his birthday party is at Anderson Farms, which is one of my favorite farms. We discovered Anderson Farms about 10 yrs ago when it was a pokey little farm with a great corn maze. It has since exploded in commercialization. Quite sad...

But anyways, it's still a fun place for the kids. Here are lots of pictures of the farm.

Cody and Daddy!!!

The boys. Look how big they are now!

Mining.. why is there a mine in a farm???

Or bicycle car looking things

Nevertheless, the boys have fun with it

Cody's Chinese

At Broomfield Academy, the kids are exposed to Chinese and Spanish which i think is a joke. But every now and then, the kids do surprise me with what they know(like their terrible singing).

Here's Cody and his chinese:


I was pleasantly surprised that he could name so many animals!! I'll try a video of his command of Spanish sometimes. I find it extremely funny for him to speak a different tongue.

Vow Renewal Ceremony

This weekend, we had traveled to Santa Fe to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. As part of the celebration, we did a Vow Renewal Ceremony and invited friends to join us. We were pleasantly surprised that 15 of our friends(and their kids) decided to come celebrate with us, which made us very happy!

It was an awesome weekend that i would like to write more about, but for a sneak preview, here are the videos of the ceremony and some pictures!
