The North Pole

Grandma and Grandpa took Alina to the North Pole for her birthday. The girls had a great time. They got to go on all the rides, watch a magic show, see Santa and go on a train. I was really surprised by how fearless the girls were when it came to some of the rides. I went on one ride with Alina and closed my eyes the whole time, Alina laughed the whole time. I made Ky take them on all of the rest of the rides.

Happy 4th Birthday Alina

Alina's 4th birthday was yesterday and she had a great time. Grandma and Grandpa came into town and took her out to Red Robin to eat. She got an icecream sunday and all the waiters sang happy birthday to her. She had a wedding birthday cake and got lots of great presents.

I apologize for all of my yelling. McKayla needed constant motivation to keep playing.

Soccer Game

The girls both had their first soccer game today. Alina's was first, and was so funny to watch. The kids did not care who was on their team or who had the ball, all they new was that they wanted to get the ball and make a goal. Alina was head butted within the first ten minutes of the game, and because she was the smallest kid out there, was run over almost every play. She did well though, and with a little more aggression will be a great soccer player. McKayla was put on defense for the first half of the game and well, you know those movies that show the really girly girl playing sports and she refuses to do anything, well that was McKayla. She was put on offense for the second half of the game and improved considerably. She even made contact with the ball several times. Overall they both did great and were worn out by the end of the day.

Cowboy Song

Alina has been learning cowboy songs at preschool and when she got home today she sang us her newest cowboy song, but altered it because apparently Ky and I do not know a thing about cowboys. Cows live on the range and cowboys live in the west, under no circumstances can a cowboy live on the range, thus the song "Home, Home on the Range" is completely inaccurate. This is not the best version she sang, but because I did not have the camera ready when she stared singing this is what you get.

Flabbergasted

We put McKayla to bed last night and did not hear from her for almost an hour (which is an amazing thing.) Then she comes out of the room so Ky goes to get her. From her room I hear, "Dad, you are going to be flabbergasted." She had been drawing on her dry erase board, and this is what she drew.

Dishes

McKayla decided that she was going to do the dishes last night and did them all with out any help. Now she just needs to teach her sister and I shouldn't have to do dishes ever again.
