We spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Nebraska with my grandparents. We had lots of fun catching up with family we don't see very often! There was lots of Wii action....we got everyone hooked! The girls had a great time as always keeping their great-grandparents busy, very busy! We even had a chance to hit up a couple great movies. We all went to Bolt on Friday night.....it was a great movie and Andy and I went and saw Four Christmases on Saturday....all I can say about that one is, HILARIOUS!!!
Happy holidays!!!! Christmas is right around the corner....
It has been in the 70's here for the last 2 days! It has been absolutely beautiful and a nice surprise to spend sometime outdoors in the sun! Today we went to the park with Allie's best friend Cooper and BJ teddy a class stuffed animal we get to bring home and journal about every once in awhile!!! They say snow tomorrow....we'll see!!!
Today we went to lunch with our friends, the Axes. Lauren was singing Hannah Montana the whole time and having Kayla record her. So, as soon as we got home the girls thought it would be a great idea to have Allie try it out! Kayla would never let herself be recorded so she is the videographer and Allie is the performer!
Kayla's class had a field trip to the Fort Collins Museum today. Fort Collins has so much history that I completely forgot about. I probably learned it in 2nd grade and we know that was a long time ago!!! Anyway, it was a ton of fun and I learned a lot too! I had a great group of kids from Kayla's class that I got to hang with for the day!!!
Kayla and Allie's school host roller skating parties every once in a while for fundraising purposes. We always have a great time there and last night Kayla finally got the whole concept!!! Unfortunately at the end of the night she took a spill that left her with a fractured wrist:( She is going to wear a brace for 3 weeks and then should be just fine. She has had a few minor issues with clothes and such, but is doing okay. She will have to miss swimming for a few weeks which is a big bummer!
Allie is obsessed with Hannah Montana and Gabriella from HSM. We found some clearance costumes after Halloween and she has been having a good time this morning discovering all of her alter egos!
Our friends Marc and Sam had a baby just over 2 weeks ago, his name is Quinten and he is such a cutie! They stopped by to say hello last night and I especially had a great time holding a new born baby!!! We tried so hard to wake him up so he would sleep for his parents but it just didn't happen!
Kayla got her Swim Team picture taken on Wednesday for Team Vortex. She has been swimming for them since August - 2 days a week, 2 hours a time. She loves swimming and is in a group with mostly teenagers. She is hoping that one day she will make it to the Olympics!
We took the kids to their first CSU Football game today! Andy and I had both been pre-children, but have never had a chance to take the girls! The weather was beautiful and soccer's over, so we thought it would be a great day to go! They have Ram Town before the game with lots of neat activities for the kids! It was a great game, even though CSU lost!
