Oui, oui! We have ourselves some chefs!

The girls love Ratatoulli! It's their new favorite. They saw one preview for it at the beginning of another Pixar movie. Now they are asking for it all of the time. Here is what we get now.

Another cute movie of the girls.

These pictures were all taken by Lisa. Fantastic shots!

small steps

I need to get back to posting pics and videos. Here's a small step in that direction.

This is a Longaberger tea set the girls got today from their Honey. We had to immediatley sit down and have our first tea party.

quick post

I know it's been a while. I've been meaning to finish Christmas pictures but having a hard time finding the time to sit down and JUST DO IT! So to delay it even further, I'll share a quick video that we took yesterday at the zoo.

It was an awesome time at the zoo. I think we saw 3 other people there the whole time. It was kinda cold (15degrees) but we brought the sled with us in case the girls wanted to take a ride. Evidently, the sound of the sled is similar to the noise of food coming so all the animals were going crazy for us! They were coming right up to the cage and checking us out. I got some great pictures...later for that...here's a video of the wolves playing around next to us.

Sledding with the girls

So far, we had only sled in our side yard. This morning, we took the girls to a little hill. They loved it! It hasn't snowed in a couple of weeks so the snow was pretty packed and fast. We had to start half way down the hill. I tried by myself a couple times from the top and wiped out BIGTIME. Sorry, no pictures or videos of that.

Gearing up.

The epic climb to the top of Mount Little Hill.




High fives all around after a successful run.


Lisa and Alyssa catching some air.


Gearing down.


Katy and I catch a little air on this one.

We stopped by for a laser car wash on the way home. Katy said "My no like it" the whole time. I took a quick picture. Katy looks pretty freaked out and Alyssa looks...unimpressed.

Christmas pictures....finally

Can't sleep coming off nightshifts so it was between playing Call of Duty on the PS3 or updating the blog...so I played CoD until Alyssa woke up. Now, it's time to update the blog.

Girls came out and discovered Santa had come while they were taking their nap and left some crumbs and evidently drank a Diet Coke (not a beer can!).




















I have some more but I think I hit my limit for Blogger for one day. More later.

draw me a ..... fish

That's what I said to Katy and then she did THIS!! I can't believe it. I know parents go overboard when their kids do something for the first time but this is pretty cool. Up until now, all they've done is scribble but she very deliberately and meticulously drew this. Wow!!

Christmas videos

We have lots of pictures to go through but I thought I'd start off with a couple of videos we took last night and this morning.
The Goldfish song by Laurie Berkner. Lisa (with Terri's help) made the tutus and the rings and bought the wings.

Pop Fly song by Justin Roberts. Lisa (and Terri) made these tutus also.

Quick video of the girls riding their new ponies. Please ignore the mess...we're still recovering from Christmas.
