Disney on Ice

What great luck that the only time Disney on Ice would be in Loveland in 2012 was on the weekend of Michelle's birthday!  It was like a mini trip to Disney World but without packing or high prices.  We figured since our children are so small & it was so cheap compared to Florida, we would get seats close enough to really see the skating & shake hands with the characters afterward.  Best decision we made in February.


Danny was our #1 enthusiast.  He makes a great fan & appaulded & smiled like the best of them. 
Friends have asked me if there was "real" skating, so I included the above picture of Belle & the Beast once he turns back into a prince.  Looks good to me, and I did live in North Dakota for 4 years, so you have to take my word for it.
Michelle loves Minnie Mouse so we had a Minnie Mouse dress made for her birthday via Etsy.  It was a big hit.  (Still is.)  This is Michelle smiling as Minnie skated toward her.
Kaelah did not want her picture taken, but she's very willing to tell you she saw lots and lots of princesses at Disney on Ice.  Scared stiff in the moment but excited for weeks afterward -- that's our 4-year-old.




Danny was super excited about the Incredibles.  He knew Buzz was going to be there so it was a bonus for him.

Below, I saved my favorite picture for last.  Our birthday girl shaking hands with Minnie Mouse.  (:  Life only got better when we joined Grandma & Grandpa for Minnie Mouse cupcakes at home that evening.

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
