THIS FEELS LIKE A GIRLS NIGHT OUT

We took a trip to that other country (Portland) yesterday. We got to stay at Bogie's fish house, and go shopping for fun things for Ninny's new lake house. We sang songs in the car on the way down to Portland of course what would a trip with Ninny be with out a SLURPEE!!!! My child is corupted she calls Burger King that Dinner Place and I think that she has them all on her radar. Needless to say she had her kids meal and we were singing tunes and on our way. We got to the condo late and so we got in to jammies and got ready for bed. We had a orange juice and and a toast and went to bed, well tried to. An amped up Tater wanted toes painted (not really just pretend), and criss cross apple sauce, and make up on. She loved it and it was really fun...three gals on a themed girls night out "Under the Sea"

CHUNK E CHEESE

Our Ninny called and wanted to take us out for the big V Day!!!! After being cooped up in a house for a few days packing I decided that the best place to take a 2 year old was none other than to the
Chunkster himself!! That was one excited Tater she could not even eat her pizza. We started out on the little kid rides...then we moved on to the bus. Where she first was very nice taking a little girl for a ride quite a few times till her parents said that was enough. She slowly put almost every token in the "fun bus" all by her self why Ninny and I watched from a booth about two feet away. She moved on to Spirit the horse with about two tokens left after they were all gone she ate some pizza keeping an eye out for anyone who would share a ride on the fun bus with her and she would go bum a ride or two or three. Finally we had to tell her that was enough that we had to go no more bumming rides so nice of all to share their tokens with a bus riding Taty.

RITA TATER

While packing I decided that Tay needed to wear her seniorita dress I just wanted to see how darling she would look. She wasn't so darling at first but then we decided to take a trip to the bathroom and fix her lovely locks and the end result was pretty cute. She pranced around the house for quite some time as "Rita Tater."

Merry Christmas

Yummy Cookies

Saturday we got together with some old friends to make cookies. When Mieka and I were little we used to live next door to Sarah and Mallory, and have managed to keep in touch through the years. This is the first year that we have gotten together to do something like this and it was a lot of fun. We have done many things with them through the years but are now starting to create some memories with our children and that is what makes things like this really great. Angie rolled out "mixed" batch of dough after "mixed" batch of dough and we had many great laughs. So thank you all for the wonderful Saturday!!!! Wendy we all missed you.

SNOW DAY!!!!

Today it snowed a couple of inches in Olympia and for here that is quite an accomplishment!!! So we jumped on the opportunity to take Tay outside to partake in some of the fun. We didn't care that it was early in the morning and she had just gotten up we threw on all the clothes that we could find because we don't buy snow clothes here, and headed outside. She loved every second of it in fact we had to ask here to come inside and bribe her with hot cocoa. We were freezing our kiesters off and she was having the time of her life just playing in the snow. Catching flakes on her tongue, making a darling angel that might not quite look like an angel, and throwing snow balls at mommy!!! It was a fun morning for everyone.

THE RIE RIE'S BIG DAY!!!!

Today was the RieRie's first Christmas performance. She sang three darling songs. The rest of the kids were darling also. Tater thought that it was great. We all had a great time. Thanks for the entertainment Riane!!!!

This is how we started out the day. Bogie and Tater chanting for RieRie...RieRie..all to Mommy's dismay. She finally came out, this is how it started, cool calm and collected then came the finale...

This was Riane's big shining moment. Everyone got a good laugh at all her jazz up on the stage.
