A Day with Daddy

*So I am WAY behind on my posts, sorry full time work and children have been keeping me so tied up. Busy Busy! I have been keeping track of EVERYTHING though!*

Sydney loves to hang out with Dad in the Garage. She loves his jalopy! She takes him to Disneyland all the time where they stop for Chicken Donalds (McDonalds) and sing songs the whole way through. One day Sydney will have a Caddie of her own built by her Dad...whether she wants one or not!! LOL!

1st Time Ice Skating

All Kristy wanted for her Birthday was to take the girls ice skating. On Jan. 3rd we took Ashlee, Sydney and Kalin ice skating, it was the first time for all of them. Kristy and I even put on skates for old times sakes. It had been 10 years or better since we had put on ice skates. It is amazing how less graceful you are after not skating for so long. The girls were thrilled as they looked at all the girls skating, jumping and spinning through the glass. They were amazed and so excited to strap on their skates. Kristy got on the ice first with Ashlee, it was hysterical. Ashlee immediately tried to jump and spin, only to land flat on her back. Sydney, Kalin and I were next we stayed upright for the most part. The girls were holding my hand, so they just held on to me a little tighter if they felt like they were going to fall. Kalin was as graceful as you could get for skating for the 1st time, she was spinning and everything. Sydney wanted to be with Auntie so Kristy and I traded. I skated with Ashlee and she skated with Sydney which on lasted a short while. We all skated for about 45 minutes and then the girls decided they were way too cold, not to mention Ashlee getting soaked from falling. We went and got some hot chocolate, once they went inside to the warmth they were over it. We took their skates off and every one of they had purple toes from them being so cold. They were done. We took them to lunch and they all fell asleep in the car on the way home. It was an eventful afternoon.

1st Time Bowling

At the Holiday break Darin and I decided to take the girls out for a "Surprise." Ashlee was spending the night, so we thought we'd take them out somewhere they can burn off some energy. We took Ashlee, Sydney and Hailey Bowling. They enjoyed every aspect of it from renting the "lovely" bowling shoes to learning to roll the ball down the bowling lane instead of throwing it. Darin and I couldn't refrain from laughing, it was so funny! Hailey enjoyed trying to run down the bowling lanes. She'd run back and forth. The girls played 2 full games. It wasn't until after the 1st game that they realized that there was an actual score involved. From that point forward the competitiveness came out in both of them. They kept asking who was winning, so we just told them they tied, to keep from any arguments. Who won? I really don't remember now, it doesn't matter anyways. Once they completed their games we gave each of the girls $1 to play in the arcade. They insisted on playing the "dance" game. It was hilarious, Darin and I were rolling. Hailey got involved too, it was fun! It was a good "surprise!"
