We're Going to Disneyland!

Do you think they are excited??

We had been planning it for weeks but we finally told the kids we were going to Disneyland. Yeah, they were a little excited. Here's the video link for their reaction.

Skating Firsts

 First Skating Class Test

 First time on the ice

Getting help from Sissy

Since Veteran's Day happened to fall on a Thursday this year, Robert had the day off and was able to go see Gabby's Thursday morning skating lessons. This week was her first end of session test. We all got out there for the free skate afterward. It was Sam's first try at ice skating. By the time we left he was running on the ice on his two-bladed skates.

Video Links

I have added a page for video links. You can access it through the words "Video Links" at the top of this page. I'm working on adding a bunch of videos to YouTube and will keep posting the links on that page. If you have a minute, check out Sam's Mother's Day song. It's very cute, if I am allowed to say so.

Disney On Ice

I love that the Zamboni even has a face.

Daddy missed Disney on Ice last year. This year we went to the Celebrations show. It was a good show and the kids enjoyed it, as always. My favorite part was the skating brooms from Fantasia.

Mount Hood

Always up for a snowball fight.

We finally had a chance to go on a Strong Bonds Retreat together here. We stayed at the Resort at the Mountain (Mount Hood, Oregon) but drove up to Timberline Lodge on Saturday to see the snow. It was cloudy all weekend so we never really saw Mt. Hood well. We did get a good look at it when we were moving here so we have seen it before.

Sam's Soccer

Showing Daddy my skills

Award time

Sam loves Kidz Love Soccer. He started over the summer and we did it in the fall. He's at the parent/kid level here. Daddy made it by to see his last fall soccer lesson. Yes, Sam loved it.

(I do realize how long it's been since I posted. I am trying to get back in the habit.)

My Beautiful Gabby

This pic was from November. She's so beautiful!
