Nikkelle's Girl ask Boy dance

Nikkelle turned 16 just in time to ask Colby to the dance. There was three couples Nikkelle & Colby, Kadee and Brit, Aubrey & ?. This was a all day date. They started by going to the boys house at 6:30am and taking them to Kadee house for breakfast. Then they took them home and let them get dressed. Then they went to the Gateway Mall and did this picture treasure hunt. They had a lot of fun, but didn't make it all the way done with the list. Then they went to the Mayan for Dinner. They came back watched a movie then got ready for the dance. The dance was lame so they left and went and watched another movie. Looks like she had a great time. Here are some pictures.

~The Girls Being Silly~

They other day I was down in Nikki's room talking to her while she was getting ready for her date. The little girls were in there with us, dancing to the music being silly. They had us laughing at some of their moves, but they were so cute I thought I would share with you.

When is the bus coming

Nanny called me about 1:40 yesterday after I got home from work. She said well we have had some problems today. Oh whats that? Well she was busy doing stuff around the house, I can't remember what she said. So she sent Cheyenne out to catch the bus around 12:10. I said "okay". Well she didn't catch the bus, she has been standing outside waiting for it for 1hr and 10 min. Cheyenne finally came back to the house after the neighbor came over and told her to come back. She said that freaked her out. She had been crying. Nanny asked what happened Cheyenne said "the bus never came". I've been calling for my mom. She was cold and wet from all the snow melting and the puddles down their lane. So Nanny hurried and put her pants in the dryer for a little bit, then ran her to school. She then calls me and tells me everything that had happened. When she went to take her into the school they couldn't find her Minnie Mouse ears for hat day. Poor kid had a not so fun day. So I ran over to the school with dry pants, socks, and another Minnie Mouse ears. I forgot to get shoes. When I change her socks her shoes where wet. So the teacher just let her keep her shoes off. Nanny felt bad but everything is fine and I hope the next time she misses the bus she don't stand outside for 1hr. What a Silly Little Girl

Oh yeah, the Saint Bernard that ended up at Chandra's house, that ended up missing. Came back to her house on Tuesday night after a week. Her kids are way excited, and mine can't wait to go back up to play with him again. I never knew that a stray dog would end up being so loved.

Family Winter Trip

Nikkelle got a new camera for her birthday. I gave it to her the day after we got up there. So the first thing the girls go do is start taking picture with all their silly faces.

Here are some pictures of us outside playing in the snow. The kids all had fun even though some of the kids toes about froze off. We had sleds, snowboards, tubes, and snowmobiles to haul the kids back up to the top of the hill.

While we were up in Ashton, Nikkelle had her sweet 16th birthday. I can't believe she is 16. I remember when I turned 16 and it doesn't feel like it was all that long ago. She had fun having a lot of her cousins, family, aunts, uncles, and grandparents there. Thanks for all the kisses, a least now she can tell people her first kiss was from family.

Then there was a hot tub, air hockey, ping pong, cards, pool, and then the theater room. Their was always something for everyone to do. The cabin was big enough that it really didn't seem like there was 21 kids running around. We could all spread out and it was lots of fun to be with everyone. We talked and laughed about old memories and made some pretty funny new ones. The kids will remember this for the rest of their lives and that is what family is all about. Thanks for planning the trip Brandon. Lets do it again.

Last week we went up to visit family. I had told Chandra I wasn't coming because it had been snowing all night and into the day. The roads where covered in snow. So I went downstairs for awhile. Then I came up about 4 and looked outside. The sun was shining and the roads where clear. So I told the kids hurry and get pack we were going. We had everything packed in about 1 hr. I decide not to call and surprise Chandra and the family. We got there about 8. I saw the TV on so I thought we had enough noise to shut doors quietly. Well Chandra was sitting at her computer right by the driveway so she heard us pull in. So they gathered their kids together and met us at the door. When they opened the door they screamed surprise and we did the same. It was pretty fun. Then we took the kids to DQ to get ice cream for Valentines Day. Before we had got there someone had dropped off this Saint Bernard. He is very friendly and the kids had a lot of fun with him. Brandon said he was going to keep him. But he is gone now they are all sad. Here are some pictures to remember him by.
