High School Musical on Ice!!

So you pay $30 to attend the show, you find a decent place to park under $10, you get approached by 2 huge guys in the parking lot to buy the T-Shirts they are selling for $15 each and you do so they don't steel your car while inside. Then inside your kids act as if they did not just eat at Pizza street 1/2 hour ago, to they want Popcorn, Nachos, High School Musical water bottles filled with Snow cones. At the end of it all and $200.00 later, the smiles on there faces though out the whole show and watching them sing along to the music is just the greatest feeling and it really makes it all worth it!!! We went with the Rybak's and Cheryl's 2 nieces, Taylor and Madison.

Happy Birthday Grandpa Spot

Today is Dan's Dad's birthday. He died 10 years ago this coming September, so my children have never known him, but boy do they know him in stories. They love when Dan and their Uncle Pat or Jim tell them stories about Grandpa Spot. I have even heard them exchanging stories with their cousins before.

Well here is a cute story that brought a tear to my eye (and maybe even Dan's too):

Danny, Emily and I left preschool today, and went to the store to get each of them yet another WEBKINZ (they love those things) They had both gotten money for there birthday and they wanted to each get one. So we are driving and Danny asks "Mom, was the other morning Emily's Birthday?" me- "yesterday was Emily's Birthday, remember we gave her presents and went to dinner last night?" Danny- "So then that means today is Grandpa Spots Birthday right?" me-"you are correct, you have a great memory" at this point Danny and Emily start to sing "Happy Birthday to Grandpa Spot" It was very cute!!

So Happy Birthday Grandpa Spot!!!! (and as Danny said, and many more!!!)

Happy 5th Birthday Emily!!!!

WOW, my baby girl is 5 now! Can you believe it? She has grown up so fast! she will start Kindergarten this fall! I can't hardly believe it but I am also excited for her! AND I STILL DO NOT WANT ANY MORE!

She woke up easier than normal! I think it was the, I want my presents now and not have to wait till Daddy gets home from work tonight!!! She took cupcakes to school and when it is your birthday the whole school sings to you at chapel!! She really liked the attention!

We talked her out of the Chuck E Cheese adventure and went to Joe's Crab Shack. Grandma Denise joined us (Grandpa was bowling) She really liked the song they sang to her and I got it on video- check it out here! Again, she really loved the attention! She will be some type of performer! Oh but what kind is the scary part!

The Party Day!

What a fun day the kids had! Emily had her Birthday Party from 12-1:30 with her friends from school. We did make-up and nails, had cupcakes and ice cream, played dress up and made picture frames! What fun she had

Danny had his friend and 1 from school showed up from 2:00 - 3:30. They made slime, had cart races, ate cookie cake and ice cream. They had a great time too. We even got 2 dad's involved with the cart races!

Then home to play outside for the remainder of nice day! OH Yeah, I forgot to mention that we got HERMIT CRABS for their birthdays!!
