Road Trip

She was just a LITTLE bit bored in the back seat

I guess the new coloring book was not good enough

she felt like she needed to color her face!

So Rusty had to spend a week in Wilmington, North Carolina and so the girls and I decided to jump in the car and head on over to see him. What a road trip it was! Betsey was not feeling like her usual self and ended up puking in all 4 states along the way! Needless to say I could not get there fast enough. At first I only thought that she was being dramatic but after I was holding her on the side of I-20 while she was throwing up for the 3rd time I began to think that maybe there was more to it! The only problem was that by this time we were half way there so it was do I keep going and maybe we will be sick the whole time or turn around and go back home. I decided to keep going and I am so glad that I did because she was perfectly fine the next day and we had an GREAT little trip!

Chuck E. Cheese

Last week we went to Chuck E. Cheese with our friends Maddie and Ben after dance. Their Daddy was out of town, our Daddy was out of town, seemed like a brilliant plan to the Momma's! We had a great time and it was a nice way to pass the evening. I also ran into a girl that I went to college with. We kept looking at each other and finally we both just said "Do I know you?"It was fun to catch up for a while. She told me I should join Facebook, it seems like I keep hearing this from more and more people! I am still being a holdout.....

Back to Chuck E. Cheese, Ellasyn hit the jackpot! She was playing some game where you hit the button to stop on a number and you win that many tickets well she won 75 and got so excited to see them all come out of the machine. Even with her 75 tickets and the other 100 we had, Betsey was not very happy about her choices of a prize. She missed her Steve-O who normally wins her like 1000 tickets and those prizes are WAAAAY better! :)

Snow in Alabama

Making some SNOW cream

We waited a LONG time to get enough snow

part of our backyard in the pretty snow

Looking out our front door

I know it is snowing a LOT in different parts of the country, as a matter of fact on Friday there was snow on the ground in 49 states. How cool is that! Evidently it was a freak thing that there was NOT snow on top some volcanoes in Hawaii. Who knew, NO snow in Hawaii is a freak thing?!?!?

We got about 3 inches here even though none of it stuck to the roads. It was enough for us to make some snow cream though. My children of course had no desire to go outside and play in the snow. Ellasyn just looked at me and said "I don't like it, no go out in the snow today, OK." All of this was said with her little nose turned up and the animation in her face that is oh, so dramatic! So we didn't go outside and instead had a fun stay in our pj's day!

Roller Skating Party

Betsey went to her friend Jeff's birthday party this weekend and it was old school......at the Skating Rink baby! It brought back lots of memories of the Leesburg skating rink, I think that they even played some of the same songs we skated to at the party! My poor baby who has her daddy's feet couldn't get the kids skates that all of her friends had because her foot was too big! She had real skates on, poor baby they went fast! I was just glad that I didn't have to put any on. I must admit that I was nervous we might end up with some broken bones but we made it home without a cast. Hooray!

Betsey's Halftime Performance

Betsey's cheerleading class performed during halftime at the Hoover Varsity Basketball game last week. They were precious. The dance was to Miley Cyrus's "Ice Cream Freeze" and these little girls thought they were hot stuff out there with all eye's on them. Ms. Danielle had made us a DVD to practice with and Betsey kept telling me that it was just for us to watch not practice with because according to her, she already knew all of the moves. Well on Friday morning she suddenly started telling me "Maybe I do need to watch the dance." I think that she might have been getting a little bit nervous.....

I wish I had a picture of her doing the dance in front of the laptop where she was watching the DVD because she was so serious about it. She would start it and stop it, start it and stop it all with her little serious face and I could so tell she was taking it all in and processing it in her own little way. She did fabulous and had such a good time! We are so proud of our little dancer!

P.S My pictures are terrible! I don't know what the deal is?????

Visitors

Miss Mary and our AA #2 (Alyssa )came to visit us the other day before they headed out to a girl's weekend that AA was sad that she missed. We were sad that we didn't get to see her too! The girls were so happy to see them and get to show them their rooms. Mary is getting married soon and we are excited for her and Brad. I can't wait for the wedding because I will get to see Amy and all of her friends (the younger group of Ya-Ya's!) Ha! Thanks girls for stopping by, I can't wait to see you soon!

Oh Ellasyn

Darling dear ~

Why is it that you are almost three now? Where has the time gone??? Mommy loves you so much and can't believe what a big girl you are becoming! Oh wait, I found you in Ava's crib with a binket that is for newborns, pretending to be a baby. As your long legs are hanging over the edge of the crib you are telling me "I is wour (your) baby Momma?" You crack me up little girl!

Your Daddy says "Roll Tide" We love you very much and can't wait to watch you and your sister grow up!

Love

Momma
