At Invesco Field

A few weeks ago, Derrick and I had the privilege to attend a fundraising banquet for FCA w/guest speaker, Bobby Bowden at Invesco Field in Denver. For those of you not up-to-date on football trivia, Bobby Bowden was a long-time Florida State football coach. He has been coaching for 58 yrs and has been partnered with Fellowship of Christian Athletes since 1960 to impact the lives of young athletes for Christ. His message was spiritually challenging and powerful and obviously rooted in a deep relationship with the Lord Jesus. Derrick and I helped with registration and book sales/book signing. We were also able to have our own SK8 Ministry table with information about reaching kids in the rebellious skateboard culture and the needs of our ministry through FCA. This is us posing by the Broncos "fireplace" in the VIP conference section of Invesco Field. The west view was inside the stadium and the east view was downtown Denver lit up at night. Very sh-na-zee!!! Derrick and I, literally the only 2 people in Invesco Field (outside of our camera man)! Cool. Behind us on the HUGE screen, FCA staff pics/bios were running as well as inside on the conference room TVs. Cool. FCA is hoping to make this an annual event, so stay tuned for next years event!

Addie-18 mo.

Addalyn is 18 months. This was just too cute not to share. Her newest tricks are a few more words.....favorite being "baby." She LOVES to dance. Simon Says is her newest shake shake. She no longer takes a bottle or sits in a high chair and now qualifies for timeouts. She follows multi-step directions SOOOO well. She prefers Elmo when Kai is not dominating the TV with Thomas the train. She is constantly nurturing Eli...petting his head, talking to him, playing with him, and handing him toys to grab. She is our sweet and sassy all in ONE.

Eli-5 mo update

Eli will be 5 months on Monday. He is a huge blessing to our family. He is easy-going and smiley. He loves the chaos of his big brother and sister. He tracks their every move from across a room. He just wants to be in on the action. He's now turned the corner in development, allowing him to be upright in the walker, jumper, or sitting supported in the boppy pillow. Here's a few sweetheart pics of Eli that demonstrate his newest tricks! E is very intent with his toys....trying to get everything into his mouth of course!

Supplemental Halloween pics

READ below "HALLOWEEN 2010" post first. Most of our playgroup attended the Harvest party as well. Here's a couple of the girls standing with Kai, Tessa (Thing 2 from Cat in the Hat) and Emily (blue crayon). Addie doing the ring toss. Kai's homegrown facial hair in minutes! He thought it was a nice touch! Disregard me, everyone's looking at the camera and happy! For the love of the lollipop!

Halloween 2010

Yehaw! Happy Halloween! The Unrein cowboys and cowgirl saddled up this Halloween at a Monument church Harvest party. They roped those games and wrangled that candy! Then they giddy-up'd on their horses to re-coop from a self induced sugar-high and hit the hay (as they say)! Here we all are at the Harvest party. The kids played games like ring toss, go fishing, putt-putt golf, throwing/kicking balls through tires, tossing pennies, etc. They also had an inflatible slide and bounce house that Kai loved! Cowboy E-man was awesome. He hung in the front-pack the entire time without a peep. He loved the stimulation! Here's Kai and Addie sitting on the porch steps with their pumpkins they carved the weekend prior to Halloween. They were getting slightly rotted, but Kai's was scary and Addie's was happy! The cowboys before we saddled up! Our cowgirl! Addie was diggin' the lollipops at the party and dancing to the music they played in the background! Her costume was complimented by many (thanks for the help Grandma)!
