Fun Day, Monday!

This past Monday was President's Day and everyone was off school/work. So after a doctor's appointment for Lydia, we headed for some fun time. The girls wanted to go bowling! We bowled several games, none of which I won. I really meant to take a picture of the scores from the1st game because Lydia actually beat me BUT I have never claimed to be a great bowler AND she had bumpers!!

Proof that little sister LOVES big sister!



You can barely see Layton but everytime she would release the ball, she had frog legs!



My cuties!



Happy girl!





Daddy and his shadow!



After bowling was arcade games. Dave was so loud playing this game, I kept having to sush him! Lydia won so many tickets, she got a lava lamp with her winnings, Layton got candy! Both were happy girls!



Before heading home, we decided to grab some dinner. How old do kids have to be for them not to play with their food?! UGH!



Look Ma, not hands.



I'm so proud that all my hard work of teaching them manners is paying off!

The big fellow's birthday...

When Lydia was little she would act silly and call Dave, “the Big Fellow”. Because he let on that he would prefer being called daddy, she called him the Big Fellow a LOT. So, sometimes we still call him that, hence the title!



Superbowl Sunday was his birthday, the big 38!! Dave likes to celebrate his birthday for several days in a row, so Friday night was date night for us, Saturday night we ate with my parents and Sunday we gathered with friends & family for birthday/superbowl.



The girls got him a Duck Dynasty shirt, and a card with a cat that played a guitar on it. Poor Layton could hardlycontain her excitement about his card. She told him about it as soon as we bought it, which resulted in Lydia telling her that she ruined his whole birthday. :)

Happy Birthday, babe! We love you.
