Disney on Ice 2009

Ali and I got to go to Disney on Ice today. It was probably one of the best ones we have seen yet. It was Princess Wishes. They did the story of each princes starting with Jasmine.

This was the Jeanie coming out of the bottle.


Prince Ali' getting off of the elephant. This was really cool. The elephant came walking in all cool with him on top of it. Then he climbed down the ladder and started skating.

They even actually had a flying carpet this year.

Next was The Little Mermaid. These were all the fish dancers.

Ursula taking Ariel's voice.

This picture is for my mother. Kind of an inside joke, but all could laugh as well. I used to tease her with a Little Mermaid book that I had and would push the button that made Ursula cackle on the book and walk around with it when she was telling me what to do.

Snow White was next. Ali loved this and sang along with all the songs.

"Don't eat the Apple." That is what all the kids were screaming during this part.

Sleeping Beauty.

Minnie and Mickey

The whole second half of the show was Cinderella, which was awesome because that is Ali's favorite. They covered just about every part of the story.

Cindy, Gus-Gus and the Fairy Godmother in the background.

Getting ready to turn the pumpkin into the carriage.

The royal carriage. Really blurry, but it was so cool.

Cinderella coming to the ball.

Cinderella and the Prince dancing at the ball.

The castle.

During the Grand Finale everyone came out and skated around like they were at the royal ball.

Waving goodbye to Cinderella.

The Fireworks at the Castle.

Tinkerbell and all the princesses doing their last dance.

Tink, who by the way Ali and Emily are loving these days.

Loosey Toothy!

Ali lost her first tooth last Friday. She was so excited and had been wiggling it like crazy trying to bust it loose. She was eating an apple when it popped out, then immediately after had to call Jake and Jaime to tell them about it. She has two teeth growing in already behind her two front bottom teeth, so Tuesday she has to go in and get three more teeth pulled out. Wish us luck that the medicine and laughing gas work well enough so that she lets the dentist do his work. Thank goodness Matt is taking her and not me.

Saturday

Here are just a few photos of the girls from Saturday. We have been so boring around here, that our best adventure of the day was going to Costco. We were planning on meeting the nans, but when we showed up we had on matching outfits. Kelly and Danielle, I know that you are laughing your heads off at this. We got the same shirt at Sam's and we forgot to ask each other what we were wearing that day. Needless to say, every time we do something together we will be chatting first. So we parted ways after a few funny glances from people in Costco and had a nice relaxing rest of the day. The girls loved watching it snow and kept begging me to go out and play in it, but it was just too cold.

My two love birds.

Ali is literally killing me with her poses. She poses everywhere, and every time I take her picture. I don't know how to day in a nice way to just smile nicely and bag the pose.

The Zoo

Last Saturday we went to the zoo. We have been so lucky that the weather is still so nice, we are going to have a rude awakening when winter finally does come.


The girls were so excited to see the cute baby elephant Zuri.

It was so funny to watch her, it was almost like she could not get up. She would scoot around in a circle like this for awhile, and then try and get up with her front legs. We even got to see her play with her ball. It will be fun to watch and see how fast she grows by the time we go again.

These cute cougars were just nestled up next to each other.

They looked so cute, but yet so scary.

The cute baby giraffe. We never got to see this one move, but she was really, really cute.

My cute little lion cubs.

I think that this is my favorite time of year to go to the zoo. It is not so hot, and the animals are actually up playing and doing things besides just sleeping.

This was our favorite animal of the day. It is some sort of fox, but it would follow the girls through the glass, and then get up really close to the window and just stare at them.

Crazy little apes. Ali thought that it was really cool that Emily was the same size as a

juvenile ape.

Ready to ride the train. When we first got on, the girls thought that they wanted to ride in the seat together, but before the train got going we had to change seats.

Our wild animals had a great time at the park at the zoo. They went up and down the snake slide a gazillion times, and Ali perfected her skills at the swinging monkey bars.

Happy Halloween!

My two little tricker treaters were so cute tonight. Ali was once again the cat, which she claims that she has perfected her "Meow," and Emily was a witch.

Let me just say, 2 tricker treaters equals way - way too much candy.

Emily demonstrating her "scary eyes."

Both girls gearing up with their scary faces. We certainly can not get a smile out of Emily, but she does a mean scary face.

Ready to Trick or Treat. Emily was so excited that she got to go with Ali, Olivia and Crew.

Ali's many poses.

Little Miss Jane. When Matt was putting on Ali's nose and whiskers Emily kept freaking out for her face to be painted also. So the poor girl, being a witch and all got an ugly black wart.

The gang, minus Em ready to head out. Oliva and Crew came to Trick or Treat around our neighborhood. It was really cool this year because we were able to hit so many houses in our neighborhood without it taking forever.

Olivie, Ali, Shawn, Mason and Emily. Mason is the little boy that I babysit who lives across the driveway. He was so cute and smiley when he saw the girls tonight. I think Emily has a little crush on him.

The first door of the night. With many more to follow of course. The kids were so exhausted by the time we wrapped back around to our house. Olivia was even telling people at the door that she did not need candy because her bucket was full. Every time that we went up to a house and no one answered Ali would yell "denied." She was a good sport about it and just ran to the next lit up house. There was also a house that was all decked out with a mummy in a coffin, and a strobe light flashing on it. When the kids went up to the door the porch was pretty dark and there was a fake head hanging from the door. When the person answered he said "Happy Halloween" in a really deep voice. It totally caught Ali by surprise and she took off running off the porch. As soon as she realized it was the guy with candy she went right back up to the door.

School parade and Halloween dance party

Ali's halloween parade at school was on Thursday, she loved getting dressed up in her costume to go to school. I wish that I was able to get more pictures of her walking through, but they were going so fast. Oh well, maybe next year.

Once again we had to get dressed up to go to dance, sometimes there are so many things to get dressed up for I am sick of it before Halloween even gets here.

Once again rockin' the vampire teeth. She really wanted to take them to school, but I didn't think that would be very wise with all the sickness going around every where. She was disapointed, but put them in when she got home.

Gotta love the supermodel poses. She cracks me up.

Vampire in Training

My mom got these vampire teeth for Ali to put in her treat sacks for dance. Lets just say that she is obsessed with them. She loves to listen to herself talk in them because they kind of make her lisp, so she rattles on and on asking me question after question until she about chokes from all the drool building up behind the teeth.
