Silly Silly Aspen

I'm sure many of you remember Aspen's 'cow' dress up game....

"MOOOO"

Now we have a new member of Aspen's clothing imagination....Meet Pirate Aspen "ARGGG" Don't ask me where she got this one from either, to me it's just a odd as the cow! But my adorable silly little Aspen got stuck undressing last night and decided that this made her a pirate!

"ARGG!"

New Play Group!

Today we had our first meet up with a new playgroup we've joined in our area. We went to a Cheer/dance studio and got to play on their tramps, in their foam pit, and they had a big bounce house with a huge slide the kids loved!

Miss Tina was the worker there and she was great with the kids, she ran all around with them and kept them very entertained.

Aspen loved to jump on the tramp, she actually get pretty confident on it and was getting some pretty good air!

Enjoying the Low 80's and high 70's!

Here are some of our decorations on our lani.

Ella Loves to chase balls around.

Hollering at each other, but all in good fun. They love to make as much noise as possible!

Pig Tails!

I have officially been able to get both my girls into pig tails BEFORE their first birthday! Ella was jealous of all the time I've been spending on Aspen's hair so we did a quick 'up do' for church yesterday. She did really well only fusing a little and never pulling on them, they lasted through all of church, her nap, and until bed time-taking them out wasn't as peaceful however.

Dane's Birthday

Dane's 17th Birthday was on Saturday, he had a competition with the Marching Band that day so we gave him he presents and took him to lunch at Iguana Mia's, then had his birthday cake on Sunday. Sadly I didn't have everything I thought I did, so he got just a boring chocolate cake with chocolate frosting, but I promised him a Batman cake for his 18th birthday!

We got a really good deal on two mountain bikes (thanks Craig's List!!) for 'family' use, but for his birthday we gave Dane some things to keep up and tune up the bikes.

Ice Cream Man

We have an ice cream truck that comes around a few times a month, but since the first time we sway him we've never had any cash! Well last week he came around and we just happened to have money. Brent LOVES the ice cream man and runs out there as excited as Aspen does. We all got a yummy dessert. Aspen got a sherbet push pop (don't ask my why she's not wearing a bib!) and Ella shared my Chocolate/Vanilla King cone-you can see how happy she is when it's all gone :).
