Anything for my princess!

Every year on Groundhog Day, we go to my parents' house for a yummy dinner & treats, then we watch the movie 'Groundhog Day'! We always have a BLAST and that movie is hilarious!! This year my Mom made sliders (mini hamburgers) with grilled onions on rolls, tater tots, grapes, pineapple, orange slices, lemon-limeade & brownies with vanilla & chocolate frosting. I brought the Rice Krispy treats.
My Dad dropped off this green *wagon* and the kids found it & had FUN playing with it. Nathaniel is wearing his rollerblades while pulling Anson. He had kicked Ashley out because it was too hard for him to pull it. So, she got on her bike and rode next to them. Ashley is reaching out to hold Anson's hand. They actually held hands for a moment, but I wasn't fast enough to capture it. They were all giggling so much it was cute!
Ben is the new Webelos Den Leader and his old shirt was a little tight around the arms. So, we bought him a new one, now all he needs to do is transfer all his badges. {He sews all his own badges! He's awesome and I love watching him at work. He's so cute!} Nathaniel's excited to have his Dad be his Den Leader!
The picture in the middle - I received this signed 8x10 print free from the artist David Bowman. I bought a frame and rearranged my other Christ pictures to fit it in. I think it looks beautiful!
I just had to document this. Ben & Nathaniel were playing a new Lord of the Rings game on the XBOX360. Ben got upset from dying several times and squeezed the controller so hard that it broke! He managed to fix it, but he also cut his finger a little when it happened. Crazy boys!
The kids didn't have school today & Ben didn't have work today. So, we went hiking. We have been going to the same place for the last couple years - Usery Pass. We like to hike to the Wind Caves and hang out a while watching the squirrels & the gorgeous view. Today we did that and then also decided to continue to the top! It was a lot of rock climbing but it was worth it. The very top of the mountain was AMAZING!!! We brought our tripod, so we could get pictures like this one {on the very top}. All the kids are fantastic hikers, even our little *owie head* boy {that's what he calls it}. Today was a GOOD day :)
Just before bedtime Saturday night, Felicia lost her tooth! She always writes a really nice note for the Tooth Fairy and the really sweet Tooth Fairy always writes back! When she woke up today, Felicia had received $1 for her awesome tooth! Woohooo!!! She totally deserved it. It had a silver filling on one side (which meant she had to go to the dentist & get those nasty numbing shots) and can you see the SHARP root that was left on it?! Poor girl! This one actually hurt her coming out. She's feeling much better today! YAY :)
