Father Daughter Ball

Maddy hasn't learned that no one really wants to see her bloomers. Sorry about the view all, but its kinda cute!

At first everyone wanted to Dance. Dancing with Brice and the girls are Dale Vrieling and his daughter Lilly. Maddy and Lilly are best friends. They both are as girly as can be. Sarah was absolutely rocking out. She's a girl after her Daddy's dancing heart.

This lasted about 30 minutes or so. Until Lilly and Maddy decided they just wanted to play. They sat at the table, ate grapes and drank tons of pop, and talked up a storm. Maddy refused to dance anymore, so Sarah and Daddy danced all night.

Nothing cuter than and 18 month old all hyped up on pop. These 1/2 cans are the perfect size for little mouths.

Sarah was looking a little out of it by the end of the night. She ended up falling asleep in my arms, while we waited for Daddy to say the "Goodnight Prayer" for all the dad's. What an honor for Brice and the girls to be the hosts of the evening.

God Bless Renae Quigley for all the hard work she does. My family had a wonderful time.

Uncle Scott's Wedding

Welcome to the family Aunt Laureen. We had so much fun at the wedding. The girls dressed up all pretty and were very well behaved during the wedding.

Maddy was introduced to "Decided Cider" (sparkling cider), which was eventually shortened to "Decider". It was a complete hit. It was funny to watch, because she would take a small sip and then let a small burp. She would politely say "Excuse me" and then repeat. She talked about it for quite a while after.

This is probably one of the best smiles I've gotton on film of Sarah. She's got this thing with taking her socks off and then laughing because she knows it drives me nuts. I got her with the tights though. HA!

Snow in Leavenworth

We had a lot of fun in Leavenworth over Valentine's Day weekend. We had a TON of fun playing in the snow.

On Friday morning, we had our first try at sledding. It was a blast. The girls got really brave and even started going alone. Of course the hill we found wasn't all that steep, but to them I'm sure it was a mountain.
We dragged them around the yard for awhile, but the snow was about 2 feet deep. While the girls were light enough to walk on top, Grandma and I sank through almost to our knees. It was quite a workout...which was good since we ate pretty well while we were up there.

Daddy and Maddy made tons of snow angels. Sarah was quite content to sit in one spot and eat the snow. The girls ate tons of it. Daddy took the girls out on Sunday morning to play while the rest of us (Mommy, Grandma, Grandad, Great-Gram and Great-Grandad) packed our stuff, loaded cars and picked up the rental house. They were out there for 2 1/2 hours, I think.
Great memories for Daddy and his girls. Definitly doing this again next year.
