Ice Skating and Ice Castle

 We took Oaklyn to Riverfront Park to go ice skating just before Christmas. It was a blast. Oaklyn loved every minute of it, as we (mostly Michael) strained our backs trying to keep her up as she peddled her little legs as fast as she could.

She kept saying, "they're just my size!"

 Just a girl and her pancakes.

 We made an ice castle in the front yard for our little Queen Elsa. This is her saying "Tada" at our finished product.

 This is how we do snow shoveling around here. It's hard work.

Fall Happenings

In an attempt to make up for my blogging absence for the past several months, here is a picture dump of some of the fun shenanigans we have been up to..

Just a typical day of gymnastics training at the park, getting ready for the Rio 2016 Games

The proper way to watch Curious George

Everyone does this, right?

Queen Elsa for Halloween...and every other day of the year

 A Halloween ride in the Army truck

Riding the "Little Toot" train at Greenbluff

Michael ran a Half Marathon at Priest Lake and won his age group

Priest Lake on the morning of the race

Oaklyn got to go on a date with Grandpa out to the property to ride the ATV to go pick apples to feed the deer

That one time I actually tried to do something with Oakie's hair

Oaklyn is obsessed with wearing dresses and all things glitter and glam. Fortunately she still loves to get down and dirty... in her tutu of course

Just some quality bonding time with Grandpa

Oaklyn had a phase where she would wear a blanket on her head about 90% of the time.
