Happy Birthday, Reese and Tatum!!

I'm way behind on my blogging but hope to be caught up soon. Here are a some pictures of the girls "Wizard of Oz" party. They had such a fun time!

Reese, The Ice Princess....

...is what she has been calling herself. She woke up the other day and said that she was an ice princess! Tonight was her first skating lessons. She had the best time even though all she was doing was falling and getting back up. While I was watching her fall and fall and fall and fall. I thought, I guess she is taking after me - athletic activities just aren't our thing.
Oh well, maybe Tator will be the athletic one, or not. :) After class, the instructor recommended that next time we try using the rental skates because Reese's new skates are very stiff and for the next few lessons the rentals might help her more. We went back home, I changed my clothes and Reese, dad and I went back up to the Rec-Plex to practice skating. Dad came for moral support for me since the last time I skated was my first time and was probably 8 or more years ago. Reese put on the rental skates and away she went. She did so great - WAY, WAY better than in class. We went around the whole entire rink 4 or 5 times. This time she only fell a few times!! She just loved it and wants to go back tomorrow. Maybe she REALLY did wake up an Ice Princess!

Oh yea, I guess she isn't going to take after me after all.

ps. I will have you all know that I skated with Reese around that rink and I didn't even fall once! Maybe I am an athlete and didn't even know it. Yea, I don't think so.
