Singing for dad

Last post for today!! This was for Don's birthday, the kids wanted to put it on, sorry my recording skills need some improvement!

Aliza' dance

It is kind of hard to see her, look for her curly ponytail, she is standing behind the dancer in the white skirt and top!

Wilde Designs (Limited Edition)

We attempted a Halloween craft yesterday, we let the kids design their own halloween t-shirts. They did a pretty good job as well. In the end mom and dad ended up doing most of the work because it required alot of cutting and ironing, but the designs are all theirs (except of course Lilly's). Poor Aliza we kept running out of letters for what she wanted written on her shirt so she finally agreed to batitude - she wanted bats because they were learning about them at school. We also tried to make forked eyeballs, but our doughnut holes kept falling apart! We will have to attempt those another time!

Dancing with the Sidekicks

A few weeks ago Aliza was able to go to a dance clinic put on by the Northwest High School drill team (The SideKicks). They held a clinic for the girls all day on saturday and taught them a dance that they would then get to perform with the drill team during the pre-game show at the football game. Aliza of course was very excited, she even got to wear make up which she loved even more! She was partnered that night with one of the team captains who just kept fawning over her and how cute she was, Aliza ate that right up. It was a cute performance and fun to finally see our first Texas high school football game! The stadium was so nice, much nicer then the local junior college back home, Ben and Don stayed the whole time, but I took the girls home early before they got too cranky. Next Aliza wants to try cheerleading!

I have a video of the dance I will try and post later tonight :)

Walking out to the field

Both football teams have these large inflatable helments that all the kids in the stands get to come down and run through before the players come on the field.

Potty Training

Well a few weeks ago we decided to take the plunge into potty training, and it has been surprisingly smooth! Lilly is doing great at first she refused to go potty in the toilet, she

had no problem going poop which was the opposite of the others so I was fine with that. It did not take long before she had the other down as well. We are 2 1/2 weeks in and have had only a handful of accidents Yeah!! This post however should explain why in so many pictures lately she is only wearing panties, it is much easier then removing all her clothes every 30 minutes for a potty run!

Don's Birthday

Well I am way behind on blogging! Don turned 35 a few weeks ago. On his birthday the kids and I took him out to dinner at Chili's and then celebrated with a small party on Sunday. While we were at chili's Ben asked the waitress if she would sing Happy Birthday to his dad, she of course agreed. Ben was so excited to have them sing and embarass dad! Of course Don kept saying no they don't need to sing, but as anyone who knows him knew he secretly loved every minute of it!! I made him a super cute cake for the family party and he got to open presents - maybe next year I will plan something bigger, but we had fun never the less.
