Classic Skating

Okay, I have to tell everyone, Classic Skating is the place to be and NO, it's not the 80's. My sister asked if I wanted to take my kids to Classic Skating, I told her no because my kids don't know how to skat and I didn't want to have to hold all 3 of their hands adn take care of a 6 months old (impossible for most). Then she told me it's not like it used to be when we would go there, now they let you take your kids scooters, ripticks, skateboards or skates and they turn the lights out and let them ride to the music! It was so much fun my kids loved it, they even had little games for the kids to play while they were skating (or scooting like my kids).
This is Haylie after all the fun on the ride home, she had won some tickets and bought some vampire "bangs" as her prize! It was so cute I had to get a picture!

They also had video games the kids could play for a token and tokens were 10 for a dollar (can't beat that!) Garrett wasnted to play the games as soon as we got there, I kept telling him after 20 times around he could play games, that lasted about 60 times around before he got too tired and realized I would let him play the games later if he stopped asking me!

Albie had fun, she loved the when they turned the lights out her clothes glowed in the dark!

Even Haylie got to ride her scooter around, we only had a minor bump when Haylie started going the wrong direction and ran into a ripstick, she quickly learned to go the right way.

Anyway, it was a great idea for something to do on a summer afternoon, everyone needs to try it! Have fun!!

More photos of Ellie

Ellie is now 3 1/2 months old and I can't believe it! She is growing so much (I still think she is little) but she is getting some personality which is fun! She loves to smile, so I;m glad Jill was able to capture a smile in one of her photos! Thanks again!

Here is Ellie on her blessing day. Here she is with her Grandma Jean and Grandpa Roger. We had a wonderful day, Mark gave her a wonderful blessing and we all celebrated with a lot of yummy food! Pork nachos! They are delicious and are a great party food!

Here she is with her Grandma Raine and Grandpa Brant! I'm not a photographer if you can tell I had Jill take these photos also, I didn't get any other photos of the day, but these are great! We want to thank everyone who supported us and shared this wonderful day with Ellie and our family!

Ellie's 1 month photos

Thanks Jill for the wonderful photos AGAIN!! Ellie is one month old in the photos (I know she is almost 2 months old, but at least I'm posting right?) She is such a god baby, she is for the most part sleeping through the night some nights hse sleeps until 7:30 thenn the other nights it is between 5:00 or 5:30, I can't complain about that!! She is starting to smile and it lights up her face. I love her so much it is so fun to ahve a baby in the house again! We all love you Ellie!!

Haylie is 3

Haylie turned 3 this December and loved her birthday! She got these cute jammies from her cousins and she wears them every night, she loves to twirl around and make the skirt spin.

She just got her first haircut and had to have her picture taken. Every day when I comb her hair she says, "Comb it how Shanna did it k?" Thanks Shannon for the cute haircut, she loks adorable.

Haylie loves to dance around the house, sing any song she hears, her favorite right now is Jesse's Girl (an 80's song), she loves to color, loves princesses and her new favorite love is High School Musical (I think she got it from her older sister). Haylie we all love you, enjoy being 3!!

You Have to See This!

Okay so get ready for this...

We got home from church today and while we were pulling into the driveway I said, "Mark, what is that on our door?" He responded, " It looks like a birds nest." I told him that it couldn't be, that just yesterday I pulled a bunch of stuff off of the wreath that the wind had blown up there, but when we went inside and opened up the door, sure enough there was a full blown birds nest in the middle of our famous "pink" (it used to be red, the sun bleached it pink, but everyone asks me where I got a pink wreath from). Sorry for all of you bird lovers, but I had Mark take it down, I couldn't have birds being hatched on my front door. What would have attracted them to my front door? I thought this was crazy I had to get a picture of, I know I haven't posted for quite a while, but what a perfect post to start back up on.
