Fancy Date Night

We recently attended a big retirement party for the president & co-founder of BCER.  It was a rare occasion for us to get so dressed up...the owners were all asked to wear a tuxedo, which meant I had to go shopping for something fancy to go along with it.  Not as awesome as it sounds, trust me.  Despite that, we had a fun night celebrating a great man.  The venue was one of the ballrooms at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. Had it been a clear night (instead of the constant rain we've been having), we could have enjoyed a beautiful view of the mountains AND the Auraria campus Science Center that Sean designed. Oh well! 

  My handsome husband!

(Sorry so blurry.) Bryan & Sean are good friends and new Associates together!  I'm so happy because I just love Bryan's wife, Katie.  She makes all these Engineering functions SO much more fun!!!

Ready to call it a night! Thanks to Grandad & Grandma Nancy for babysitting for us while we were out on the town!

Spring Visit From Grandma & Grandpa B

We had a great visit from Sean's folks a couple weeks back.  Since everyone was home on Friday, we decided to visit the Wings Over the Rockies museum in Lowry.  I've been wanting to take the boys for a few years, so I'm glad we finally made it happen!  Lots of cool stuff to see!

 Cool mural.

 This is the Star Wars X-Wing Fighter that Lucasfilms donated to the museum.  It travels all over the world to official Star Wars functions & one of the volunteers at WOtR even made a replica R2-D2 for it.  The boys loved it!

 The boy loves planes.

 They've got the whole world...

 Grandpa Dan, Carter & Sean at lunch with the new airplane kit Carter "needed".

 Davis, Grandma Pat & I are ready for lunch!

 Carter wanted the airplane kit of the F-18 because it is one of the fighter jets Grandpa Dan helped design! How cool is that?!

 Goodies from Grandma Pat were a big hit! Thank you, Grandma!

Thanks to Sean & Grandpa Dan, the boys have a cool new bunkhouse!  We love how it turned out!  

Under New Ownership

I am happy to announce that my husband is now an Associate of BCER Engineering!  After spending a small fortune, we own a very very small percentage of the company.  I'm serious, it's tiny.  BUT, it's a big step for Sean and I couldn't be prouder of him and all of his hard work to get to this point.  He is well-respected by all of the other owners for his committee work, quality engineering skills and the great relationships he builds with clients.  We feel very blessed, even if we don't really understand how to calculate heat loads.  Love you, babe!  

Preschool Field Trip

Davis's preschool class got to take a neighborhood field trip to learn about various community helpers.  It was so much fun!  We started out with a road map of our stops.

Field tripping with friends is always more fun!

The veterinarian was a huge hit and probably our favorite.  The kids even got to pet a little puppy!   

At Jack's we got to walk into the big cooler--brrrr!

A stop at the new eye doctor's office.

And the neighborhood pizza place.  Yum!

Such a sweet group of kiddos and two amazing teachers.

Happy Easter!

We had a low-key, relaxing Easter this year.  It was really nice.  Thanks to everyone for the nice Easter cards and goodies!  Our boys are pretty lucky!!! 

The Easter Bunny was here!
