The girls always ask why there is a daddy daughter dance and not a mommy daughter dance. It turns out our gym does a family dance, and Braden happened to be out of town this weekend. So.... that made it a mommy daughter dance. The gym has a salon, so

A couple weeks ago I signed up for a family class to learn about stars through a telescope. Emma has always been interested in telescopes and stars, so I thought she'd think it was really cool. We got to look at Venus and a bunch of different stars

The girls really wanted to take daddy and show him their ice skating skills.... It was way more crowded than on a weekday, but the girls managed to weave their way in and out of all the people. On our way out we stopped to watch the high school boys

We spent our New Year's Eve morning flying home from Texas. On our way to the airport we stopped at a mega Buc-ees. Just like Blue Bell, it's one of the things you can't miss when you go to Texas. The candied pecans are

After the birthday celebration wrapped up we headed to Braden's dad's house for a few days. On our way there we introduced Emma to Sonic's cherry limeade. About 20 minutes away is a farm that gives tours. The girls got to feed animals, go

We had a 90th birthday party to attend in the evening, which gave us all day to do some exploring. First up... Inner Space Cavern. This place was cool. The tour was a little long for Emma and Olivia, but they made it to the end. You know what else
