Disney Princesses Everywhere

These aren't the best of pictures, but I wanted to document what some of our trips to the grocery store look like. It's always a scavenger hunt to find the best of Disney Princess items, and there are SO many fun items!

On this particular day (and I don't know how she saw it) but she first spotted a Princess lunch box/purse on the very top shelf. Mom had to help her reach it but once she got it, she was SO happy to be carrying around this new purse...

Then, as she was leading the way to the toy section, she spotted a Princess calendar!

Last but not least we found the best treasure of all.. a Princess ball, two of Alida's favorite things in one. Since at this point these three items were too much to carry, she decided to ditch the lunch box and calendar for the very shiny ball:

Alas we didn't make it home with any of these things... but what a fun adventure it is to hunt through the store for the best of stuff :)

This Weekend

Cousin Rock came to visit us this weekend, Alida totally loves playing with her cousins..

as you can tell from this picture-

Some of the most adorable pictures of our Little Bug and Dad..

And last but not least, here is Alida in a jacket and hat that was made by my Great Grandmother -so that would mean Alida's Great Great Gradmother. The hat didn't quite fit as well as I'd hoped, but the jacket fit her perfect..

Isn't she adorable :)

Snow Adventure

We got to go tubing at Soldier Hollow in Heber City with the Stake YM/YW last Saturday, since Travis serves in the Stake scout program. It was so much fun... here are just a few of the pictures.

At the park,

oh how we love to slide.

Trip to Ogden

Visiting cousins Jake & Josh, Uncle JD and Aunt Laura

Aunt Celestie and cousin Josh

So at JD and Laura's we played this game that Celestie bought us for Christmas, it's called Quelf. It was quite an entertaining game. Here's a description of it I found online:

Quelf is the unpredictable party game that gives random a new name! Whether you're answering hilarious trivia, performing ridiculous stunts, or obeying silly rules, Quelf will inspire you to use your creativity, wit, and sense of humor in ways you've never imagined.

As you move around the game board, as one of eight quirky characters, crazy things start to happen. Your friends start talking strangely. Your mom's face is wrapped in toiled paper. Your dad is acting like Dracula. And you are reciting a poem about your armpits.

Well, JD was the lucky guy who got some of the strangest cards.. this first video is of him acting as a ballerina for 30 seconds, then the second video he had to act like Frankenstein and do the hula.. If you know JD well, prepare to laugh:

Good times!

The Children's Museum

Emalee and I took our little ones to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum yesterday, it is such a fun place! With the right amount of snacks, Joel and Alida could have spent the entire day there...

Perhaps this will be the weirdest picture of all time, I told Alida to 'smile for the camera' and this is what she did-
