Princess Heather...

In December Heather and her BFF Zoe got to meet a few of the Disney's friends and princesses.. they had an amazing day together. We let it be a surprise for the girls  and kept them in suspense on where we were going until we got close and they saw the "D word".. the squeals of excitment were just the beginning =)

We got to meet Winnie the pooh, tigger, Eore and Rabbit!

and many many of the princesses.. Merida is one of their favorites right now 

 

and of course Tangled is still the most favorite...

Sunday Funday…

the weather was just perfect this weekend so we decided what ever plans we may have had to re-organize that office closet.. they were thrown  out and we played all day in the beautiful sunshine.

Dingo was happy to play with her log.. what can I say, she entertains easily =) and it’s a good work out for her

Kortney came over for a visit

Dingo taught Molly to climb the stairs

furry bff’s playing tug of war..

Heather, Kortney, Dingo and Molly were all having fun on the slide =)

fun in the sun =)

fun over the weekend...

Just some funny stuff from over the weekend..

this is Pasqual in case you didnt know..he's Tangled's BFF so of course Heather and Zoe each have one :) 

Zoe just cracks me up!! Her and Heather decided to ride the horse together and I was going to get a cute picture of them smiling and laughing together.. apparently I was the only one thinking that. Heather had just turned her head and Zoe gave me her intense look .. she's so animated I just love it!! and Yes, of course right after I click this they both smile and laugh again.. little stinkers! 

someone was very excited to have their very own race seat..Heather has a Simpson race seat and is ready for the desert. She's adjusting it for a smooth ride

I couldn't upload the video, but Heather was being a little cheerleader and making up a cheer about her great day at her bff's birthday party

this is what you call comfy cozy! 

oh.. if you havent seen Brave yet.. you should its a great movie!! We watched it and then had to play out side in the clubhouse fort and pretend we were Merida and the bears =) what a great way to spend a day! 

Random Pics

The Holidays were wonderful! It almost seems like they went by way to fast.. 

Santa came and visited and apparently we all made the good list this year..phew.. I was a little concerned about myself heehee! We have been enjoying the new year and ready to see what this year has in store for us =) Here are some random pics over the past few weeks.. 

I just love this little smile! 

cousins! 

uumm.. can I sniff you... Please.....

Heather playing "tag..you're it" with her Great Grandpa.. He is a man full of life and a lot of energy to keep up with a 3 year old (well.. two 3 years olds actually.. Daniel was playing too) 

Dingo trying a new look for the new year.. bubble head

Grandma hugs!! 

2 little monkeys jumping on the bed...

Great Grandpa reading stories..

Heather thought her e-reader from Grandma was a phone too

Not sure who was teaching who but they were both having a blast riding the scooters

Heather picked these for me.. she was holding tightly to them and couldnt get the door open so she went through the dog door..Im watching trying to figure out what she's doing then she holds up these pretty flowers and says they are for me because she loves me.. my heart melted .. what a great way to start the year 

Daniel and Heather playing tickle monster with Great Grandpa

one must be appropriately dressed for scooting.. Cinderella dress and tangled sparkly shoes..

My Mom finally sent me some old pics so you may see a few pop up every so often.. this one was Jr High Grad day :) 

this one is Easter 1979 I think.. Me, my Dad and my Big Bunny Ears :) I laugh too because Im wearing my USMC sweatshirt..it makes me smile and think of my Uncle Jimmy =) 

wet weekend fun...

it must be winter because its raining..=) but that doesn't stop us from having fun =) the weekend was nice, chilly but nice. We got all our busy stuff done on sat and decided sunday was a family adventure day.. we love those!! We packed up and set off for an adventure and found some mud and some really neat little trails up off the 15. We've gone riding and driving all over up there but still haven't seen it all. 

some dogs like to play with balls.. ours likes to play with logs =) its good exercise for her too

this was a funny shot..

dont mess with my dolls... she was babysitting for Heather =) 

bundled up for our chilly adventure

we got to see the train go by too.. and the conductor waived to us and honked the horn 

Heather thought it was awesome to see a real train on the choo choo tracks

want to go for a swim? not sure why or how or when.. but there was a swimming pool out in the middle of nowhere. You can see an old foundation and what could have been a path to some old building and a little further down the road was a part of another building. Perhaps a railroad town or a hidden resort from olden days? we just thought it was hilarious there was a pool in the middle of nowhere

my little snuggle bear kept me warm too :) 

that little elf Holly had a tea party with the other Christmas toys one day..

and another day she built a fort for her and Heather to play in 

apparently Holly was a bit mischievous one night..what do you think of our new decorations? .. that Elf!! 

This little Elf Holly is really neat to have around and MOST of the time is pretty good.. Heather really does get excited to see what she will be doing. Although she seems to like the snowball fight, tea party etc more than messing with her clothes.. I had to talk to Holly about that one =) 

Merry Christmas and watch out for those elves! 

(she did tell us Santa's favorite cookies are Daddy's p-nut butter ones so we are very excited to be making them this weekend..yummy!) 

A visit from Holly the Elf..

Herbie, the head Elf at Santa's workshop let Holly come to vacation at our house until Christmas.. We were so excited to have her stay with us.. until... 

It appears Holly sleeps during the day and comes out to play at night.. this being her first night I guess she was missing the snow from the North Pole and decided to have a snow ball fight with the other Christmas toys. This cute little Elf has a mischievous side...

When Heather got up this morning she was so excited to see what Holly had done..she then decided Minnie needed to play too. Luckily this magic snow doesnt melt =) heehee

Someone thinks clothing is optional and over rated LOL it cracks me up when she does this!! 

Hope you are all ready for the holidays and if an Elf from the North Pole comes to visit you.. be ready for some mischief

(if you go to elfingaround.com you can see more of the Elf stories) 

Merry Christmas!! 

the man in red...

The jolly man in red is good once again... the past 2 years Santa was GREAT from a far but this year.. he was great far and near. Originally Heather and I ventured out on Sat to our cities library for "Santa's Party" but she wasnt so sure about Santa right then. We did run into a friend and heard AMAZINGLY great news!! so that made the trip totally worth it! Sunday I had to get my yearly ring check up and such and we had 2 hours to enjoy. While at the mall across the street from the jewlery store Heather decided she wanted to say HI to Santa.. next thing you know after a short line she ran up gave him a hug told him what she wanted for Christmas and even what kind of cookies and treats we were leaving for him.. that's probably what put the big smile on Santas face too LOL. Next thing I knew she was on his lap and smiling and giggling and very excited to take her picture with the man in red.

 after the pictures, we grabbed some yummy pretzel bites and played in the little playground area. Heather of course went straight for the car.. she's sooooo like her Daddy!!

it was a great afternoon spending the day with my little girl! And Kevin was almost in shock when I told him we didnt buy anything while spending 2 hrs a the mall.. I must admit I was a little surprised too. We just got caught up looking at all the decorations and even the few stores we went in just looking around was fun! what a great way to spend a rainy day!
