Happy Anniversary Kathleen and Stan!!
We just want to give a shout out to our Aunt Kathleen and Uncle Stan who live in Madison. They are celebrating their wedding anniversary today. They are leaving tomorrow for Hawaii. Lucky dogs! Anyway, they are an amazing and fun couple to hang out with! We always have a ball when we visit Madison. Here are a couple cute pics from our trip to see them last weekend.
Meggan's 1st Ballet
On Thursday night I took Meggan to her first "real" ballet. The Fox Cities Performing Arts Center (PAC) had a one night appearance of the Cinderella State Ballet Theatre of Russia. Meggan's ballet class offered the opportunity to go see this. Since the girls are in the process of practicing for their recital in May. Which we are so excited to see.
Anyway, from the moment we walked in and started watching I could not believe how mesmerized Meggan was by the "movie". Even though she knows it is live she still calls it a movie. She also did not quite get why they were not speaking the story. So, I explained they tell the story thru their dancing. By far her favorite things from the revue were the 1) Fairy that wore a beautiful Red tutu (brightest tutu in the whole show) GO FIGURE! and 2) The Trolls because they were funny in how they danced. The trolls were in place of the mice which are in the book.
Anyway it was a great experience and we can't wait to take Meggan and Jack to see Wicked in a couple weeks. Boy they sure are privileged kids to go to these kinds of things.

Please say a prayer...

Please say a prayer for Chris Diez. He is Julie's (my sister-in-law) brother-in-law. Right before Christmas he found out he has 2 brain tumors. Originally they were not going to operate, but there have been some changes that they have decided to do the surgery. Please take a moment and keep them in your prayers. In addition, to this Wendy, Julie's sister, just gave birth by C-Section last Saturday to their daughter, Claire. They also have a son Ian. Please keep them in your prayers.

Ice Storm 2009
Last night we went to our friends house across the street. When we went over there was no rain just lots of snow still. We left their house about 3-4 hours later and the ground was COVERED in ice. I am not kidding! There was not an inch of ground that did not have ice on it. So, that made for an interesting walk home. I was initially holding Ally's hand walking. She kept flying out so I finally picked her up and carried her. But, I had to walk along their garage (looking like an 80 year old) so I would not fall. Then I was able to walk thru the snow with the ice much easier. Jack and Meggan were not as lucky and ended up falling while they walked home.
Anyway, so today the backyard looked pretty cool with the snow covered in ice. So, decided to take a couple pics of it. This is for those of you that have forgotten what snow looks like. Let me welcome you to my hell. HAHA :)
You want some cake....
2008 New Year's Eve "Decades" Party

For New Year's eve our neighbors, Heather and Mitch, had a decades party. It was a good time and a lot of great pics came out of. You can view the pics in the slideshow at the right. But, here is the pic of us prior to going to the party.
And for the record we went out to dinner dressed like this. Of course, Chad thought I just looked like a mom from the 70's. Oh well! I tried. I even straightened my hair.

Sweet Little Princess
Sweet little Meggan put on a princess dress she got for christmas. It looked so sweet on her. Of course Ally wanted to get right in there and dress up, but all we had for her at that moment was a Teletubbie costume. HA!
