Anniversary Inn

I feeled spoiled. We were supposed to go up to the youth camp to stay the night and help transport the kids home. Mark went up for a fireside Wednesday evening and while he was there, they decided there were enough cars to bring everyone home and so that we were not needed to come up. Mark didn't want to give up our babysitter, so instead of telling me, he had me pack anyway and led me to believe we were still camping. As we were driving, I was wondering how he was going to get us there by the direction we were taking. Instead, we ended up at the Anniversary Inn. It took me awhile to redirect because I was so focused on camping that I was a little disoriented. We stayed in the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House and enjoyed a relaxing evening without the kids. This is after he took me to the local fondue restaurant "The Mona Lisa" last week to celebrate our anniversary.

Owyhee Park

We were in Boise with extra time to kill so we went to Owyhee park to reminisce all the times we used to go there when we lived in Boise. Our daredevil Jo, showed no fear in this video as he climbed up on the playground and loved swinging from the bars. Sam is climbing the "rock" wall & swinging, Dani sliding down the pole, and Taylor selling "ice cream."

T-ball

We signed Dani up for T-ball this year and last night was her first game. They don't keep score, but she did well. She loves having something that "belongs" to just her and have everyone come cheer her on. Sam can't wait for his turn and Taylor is itching to find something she can do. Taylor made a sign for the team and Sam was the cheerleader, yelling "Go Braves, Go Braves."

Dani at 6 years

Dani used to be my most photogenic, but she's found the fake smile. She's still cute.

Jo at 18 months

Our 6 year old

We gave Dani the option of doing something fun with her family (ie Chuck E. Cheese, Wahooz, Pojo's) or having a birthday party with friends. The friends won out this time around. Taylor immediately started planning and decorating. She drew the invitations, made party hats and other decorations. Dani wanted a princess theme and a castle for a cake. Sam came as our frog prince for all of about two minutes. The girls played spin the nailpolish (when it lands on you, you paint one toe that color) and Kiss the frog (Dani was closest). After presents and cake the girls played "find/hide the princess" (A little figurine). They had fun. Here are Dani's favorites for 2010:
Book: I spy
Food: Breakfast
Color: Red/Pink
Thing: Blee
Friends: Ashtyn/Kayla
To Do: Play games
Movie: Barbie in a Mermaids Tale
