Roller Skating Is Exhausting

Roller Skating

We took the girls roller skating with Daniel and his family. It was the first time our girls have ever skated. They had so much fun. It didn't take long before Alexis got the hang of it, but had plenty of wipe outs. After a couple hours the girls literally wiped out and fell asleep. Isabelle did not even make it out of the skate rink before falling asleep.

Off The Ropes

We went with Dane to Off The Ropes Gym in Winder to watch Dane train.

Big Sister, Little Sister

Conyers Monastary

We went to visit our good friend, Brother Michael at the Holy Spirit Monastary in Conyers. The grounds are absolutely beautiful and we got our own private tour by Brother Michael. We also had a delicious lunch with him.

A Full Day of Fun

We started our morning off bright and early by going to the SJS 5k Jog. My friend, Julee ran and Dane ran as well. The girls and I volunteered and helped with registration and then brought our cheers as the runners passed the finish line. That evening we went to Julee and Gordon's for an evening of smores and relaxation in the hot tub. Of course with the all the kids that kind of defeats the relaxation part of it. It was an awesome winter evening!!

Quack Quack Feed Me!

We met up with Julee, Connor and Amelia at the park to feed the ducks (yay I was able to get rid of all the stale bread in my pantry) and see the other animals at Bear Hollow. p.s. Just a reminder to my family in MN...this is why we live in GA. Short sleeve t-shirts in February!

Hunt Then Play

I know enough of the hunting pictures already...this one in particular, Dane is very proud of. It is a rare squirrel meaning we have never seen one before. I think its called a Black Fox Squirrel. It kind of looks like a skunk mated with a squirrel. We spent the afternoon at WOW park and played with the kids.

Seriously!?! A Goose!

Just in case you were not already convinced we have part 'redneck' as our ethnicity, well here is more evidence that the south has completely converted my husband into an avid hunter and our girls are completely into it. Seriously?? Seriously! I can laugh about it and can also appreciate that every hunting Daddy's dream is that his little girls want to hunt too. I guess this is just proof that girls can do anything boys do.

Bowling Shoes Are Lame!

We went bowling for Family Fun Night! Daniel, Teresa, Matthew and Christina came too. The girls had so much fun!! Is it just me or are bowling prices overinflated? I can't believe they even charge to rent bowling shoes, I think they are the same smelly, ugly shoes I wore in when I went bowling in 1985! Nonetheless, we had a blast and I think my score was somewhere in the 70s. Some day I will bowl over 100. I think Alexis bowled a higher score than I did! Its not fair they don't let adults use gutter bumpers!

Puppy Park

We took Marlin to a dog park near UGA. He had so much fun playing with other dogs his size.

Check Out Our Boots!

The Great Georgian "Blizzard"

I can't believe it! We got snow again!! Not just the normal 2 inches...we got 8-inches of snow which not only sent us into a "state of emergency", caused the grocery store shelves to be cleared of all milk and bread, the news actually compared our weather to "blizzard conditions". Now having lived in MN through actual blizzards, this is nothing in comparison. We had so much fun because this was completely unusual weather for Georgia!! A lot of snow angels, sledding, snow ball fights and even a big frosty the snowman in our yard.

Our Godson Is BORN!!!

God bless our Godson, Noah Day who was born today, January 5, 2011!!!

So Much Fun In So Little Time

Just Another Day At The Museum

Playdate at I.N.K.

We went to Interactive Neighborhood for Kids in Gainesville with my friend Julee and her 3 kids, Ryan, Connor and Amelia. We had so much fun...we even lost track of time and were there all day!
