Church Play

Both kids were in the Christmas play on Sunday night.  Zoe was a beautiful cow and Chase was a Shepard.  All the kids did great and they did an awesome job of telling the Christmas story!

Hope's Baby Dedication

Today was Hope's Baby dedication.  We promised to raise her in a family that will teach her about God!

A fancy party and play

Another busy day.  I'm looking forward to the kids being out of school the next two weeks so that we can have some down time.  Today Zoe had her class party.  It was called a Fancy Smancy party.  So she had to dress up and so did Hope.  Chase had his Christmas play and had to dress up like a cowboy.   

 Hope was so excited to see Zoe

 Someone was so hungry she almost ate her cup

Wrestling

Finally brought my camera along for a match.  Chase did well but it was another tough match.  He ended up pinning the kid at the last second in the last round.  He has won all three dual meets and won first in all but one tournament.  Last weekend he had some tough matches and ended up 3rd.

First play date

On Monday we met with a friend and her son for Hope's first play date.  We had lunch and then went to the bounce place.  She really had a lot of fun running around and jumping.  The only problem was that she was warming up to the other mom a little to much and wanted her to hold her and hold her hand.  So we may have to wait a little while longer for another play date.

Winter Formal

 Conor & his girlfriend Jessica went to Winter Formal this weekend also

He was a bit scared when she was pinning on the flower

 Zoe's face was priceless

Happy 2nd Birthday to Hope!

Yesterday Hope turned 2!  It was so great to be able to celebrate this day with her as we didn't get to with Zoe.  Steve and Chase were at a wrestling tournament so we ended up having her party the next day.  We chose to have a Frozen themed party.  Steve made an Olof cake that turned out pretty good. We had a few friends over and had a great time. 

 The girls both dressed up

 She didn't want to hold still long enough for us to get a picture with dad
