The Wiggles

Uncle Dave got the kids tickets to the Wiggles at the Saddledome. We aren't huge Wiggles fans but we had a great time. The kids I think were excited to be at the dome and see and all the other kids and see the Wiggles live. Thanks Dave for the great tickets!!
The stage

We knew a few of the songs.

Girls Weekend

Auntie Care had all the girls out for a girls weekend at her place in Deerborn, Montana. Alida and I drove down on Thursday and enjoyed a very nice and relaxing weekend with Kate, Auntie Care, Grandma, Auntie Sue and Mom. We watched movies, read magazines, went for a walk (see picture below of Alida and Kate), unfortunately it was pretty chilly to explore too much (it was about -10). We also went in to Great Falls and had a great day shopping, we went to Ross, Target, Walmart, Sonic for yummy drinks and Jakers for dinner. I got some good bargains, it is always fun to shop in the states and with the dollar being so strong now, it makes the deals that much better. Thanks so much to the Thomas' for hosting such a fun weekend!
I was pretty excited to see my girlies when I got home. They were pretty excited about the goodies I brought them. Paige is showing off her new jammies and hat.

Elyse and her new Princess jammies. They both LOVE Disney Princess things.
I have to thank my husband for watching the girls while I had a great weekend. I think they enjoyed themselves too. It was a party everyday, they went to a movie, Chuck E Cheese, the McDonald's playpark, Perkins, Boston Pizza, got icecream, pizza and Chicken on the Way. Plus they got to play with Connor and Coleman pretty much everyday so I don't think they really even noticed I was gone :)


Kicking Horse

Chris and I were lucky enough to go up to Kicking Horse again. He had some measuring to do for a job up there and I got to be his helper. I don't think I'll be hired anytime soon but we had a great weekend away. Thanks Mom and Dad for watching the girls!
It is really beautiful there. We had a really nice villa (not as nice as last time), but the heat wasn't on and it took until about 7:00am for the place to warm up, I FROZE, I hate being cold! Other than that, it was nice, we went for dinner to a cute Italian place and then watched movies wrapped up in blankets and got to go in the hot-tub, which felt amazing after being in the freezing house!

Kite Flying and the Zoo

We went to fly kites by Fowler. It is amazing how high they go with the right kite and a windy day!
I think Chris and I had as much fun as the kids did.


Elyse loved to hold it and she did a really good job. Paige just loved running around.
My girls love to play on the metal animals at the entrance of the zoo.
