Disney on Ice!

This year, Grandma Keller really wanted to take Keldrie to Disney on Ice.  So she got the tickets and we three had a girls night out! 

We started at dinner at Z Tejas.  It was scrumptious! Keldrie ordered the chicken nuggets, the chicken.  My mom and I enjoyed our Mexican food quite a bit.  

After dinner, we walked around the Gateway to kill time before it was close enough to go sit in our seats for the show.  Keldrie loved all the open fires they have to keep you warm in the wintertime. 

Keldrie was absorbed into the show.  She loved all of it, except maybe when they used fireworks.  Her favorite part was during Merida's story, whenever the little brothers were out.  She loves the mischief making trio.  

We got home really late, around 10:30, but she had such a blast and I think she felt like a special little girl.  Several times, the princesses would come over to the corner we were close to and wave up into the crowd.  Keldrie would wave her hand has hard as she could while she waited to catch the princesses eye.  It was adorable! She is growing up way too fast! But it was nice to take her and know that she would sit through the whole thing.  That Grandma sure does spoil her!

Busy Saturday: March 1st!

We went to the train show! Our next door neighbor volunteers at the Union Station and so we went down to see all the hard work.  

I love this picture of Russell's eyes peeking over the top to get a view of the train.  He and Keldrie were enthralled with everything there. 

I was amazed at the tiny details that had been added to all of the displays!

After we came home and had some lunch and a rest, it was off to Julia's 8th birthday party!

Keldrie loves Julia's dress up collection! 

I loved getting to hold Caroline, the current baby of the family! 

Julia is such a sweet and clever girl.  I am so glad that Keldrie has her to look up to as the oldest girl cousin. We sure were happy to get to spend a few hours celebrating her.  

That was how our March started! It has been a whirlwind of year already and we haven't even reached the Spring Equinox! 

February 2014

Here I am, playing catch-up once again.  If I could just upload my photos right after we did something fun, I wouldn't have to always be doing this! 

This is what we did in February!

Keldrie loves video games! She is always trying to get more time on her innotab or on Mom and Dad's computer.  At least they are education, for the most part, right? 

All ready for church! 9 o'clock church has been great for Russell's nap schedule, but it's not so great for getting there on time.  So far we have only been late about 3 times. 

Russell doesn't really enjoy the flash on my camera.  But he and Keldrie have both loved the train Santa brought him! It can be set up so many different ways and makes lots of noise. 

Don't know why I love little boys in sweater vests, but I do! 

We went to the zoo.  Yes, the zoo in Februrary, but it has been so warm, and it was actually a great day to be there! 

I enjoyed the chance to use the zoom on my camera to get some up-close pictures of the animals. 

It was a fun day and Keldrie and Russell don't seem to ever get tired of it.  Keldrie complains about the car ride, but besides that, she loves to go.  And really it is only a 45 minute drive.  

We also celebrated this happy teenager's 19th Birthday. 

And since he has to be individual, he didn't have birthday cake, but birthday brownies.  Happy Birthday Tyler! 

We had Red Robin one night, and it was delicious! Russell and I were fighting over the onion rings. 

We also went to the park.  In Febuary in Utah! It was amazing.  The fact that there isn't 2 feet of snow on top of everything has made for an almost bearable second half of winter.  

Well, that sums up February!
