All Star.

The other night we headed over to All Star sports for a little game playing fun. Robert and I have always loved going here and playing games and Elena is the perfect excuse for us to go even more often! :) This evening E started out with some hoops - she needs a little work on her form ;) but she did a pretty darn good job for a 3 year old!

Skee-ball is always a big hit - even though Elena chucked the ball and almost nailed me after I took the last picture here!

Elena's main goal is to get prizes at the end of the night, so Robert's main goal is to win tickets so that she can get as many prizes as possible. This means there are lots of tokens used on games where you can win lots of tickets if you are lucky!

This was the first time we tried out the kiddie-sized air hockey game and Elena had a blast. She lost to Daddy but that was partially because she scored into her own goal a couple times! Ha ha!

We tried another completely new thing this evening as well - the Roller Coaster simulator ride. Elena LOVED it and even talked Daddy into riding with her a second time!

I think she would have rode this over and over if we hadn't run out of tokens! I'm so excited that she liked this - hopefully she will be my amusement park buddy and ride all the rides with me when she is older! Robert is not a big fan of roller coasters.

It's a...

BOY!!!!

We are so excited that there will be a little boy joining our family this summer!! Elena was a little upset that it's not a girl but she is warming up to the idea of a baby brudder. :)

Game Night.

Elena had family game night at her preschool a couple weeks ago and we had such a blast going around to all the classrooms and playing games with her. :)

Robert was definitely the barrel of monkeys champion!

Playing giant tic-tac-toe with her friend Justin.

I think this game was called fruit basket? A person picked a fruit and if you had it on you had to switch chairs - kinda like musical chairs but with fruit.

These pictures are terrible but this was her favorite part. A game where you run, run, run until the music stops and then you have to stop at a color. Then a dice is rolled and if you are on the color it lands on you are out. We made several trips back to this game. :)

I think Elena is going to be my little game playing buddy! I love to play all games! :)

Amazing Weather.

The weather has been ridiculous this Jan/Feb! It has been so warm, it seems as if we just skipped over Winter! We have taken advantage of this wonderful weather as much as we can. We packed a little picnic lunch and headed over to Sedgwick Co Park one afternoon. Elena thought it was awesome that we were eating outside! :)
