Happy 8th Birthday Katelynn...

On February 16th, Katelynn Danielle turned 8 years old! I was waiting to get the pics back from the party, that's why this post is late. Anyways, Katelynn had a sleepover with three of her good friends from school. They made ice cream, decorated cookies, and watched movies. At around 10pm, my sister in-law Kara showed up from Oregon with her husband Austin and baby Topanga. The girls were up all night long, when I got up for work at 1:30am they were still giggling, and Jess told me she had to tell them at 3:30am to go to sleep! Crazy girls. Happy Birthday Katelynn, Love you!!!

Happy Birthday Ryan...

Today is one of my bestest friends Birthdays. We went to Pinnacle Peak's steakhouse for dinner, then stayed around and watch the gunfight show afterwords. Happy Birthday BUDDY! Here are some pics from after dinner. The two boys in the pics are Ryan's boy's, Brennan and Bailey. Jess and the boys didn't come because the boys were being "buttfaces" according to Jess, so they stayed home. Ryan's Mom was in town, so it was nice to see her at dinner. All in all it was a good time.

Father/Daughter Dance...

On February 8th, the girls had their annual Father/Daughter Dance at the school. This years theme was Western, and being that I'm not the Cowboy type, I borrowed a cowboy hat and buckle(circa 1970's) and dressed the part and took them. We had a pretty good time, but it didn't hit me until I was dancing a slow song with McKenna that this is the last Father/Daughter dance for us. I also got to thinking that maybe this was the last dance we might have together until her wedding day, at least a formal one. I then made it a point to dance more often with her through out the night, and when they invited just the sixth graders out with their Dad's, it was our special dance for the evening. We concluded the dancing with a Jonas Bros. song which everyone was into, and the girls were screaming along with the music. I then took McKenna to her friends house for a sleepover and Katelynn and I finished our date with some ice cream at the Dairy Queen. I REALLY don't like to dance, but this is one occasion every year that gets me out on the dance floor to show off my "moves", so to say! GO WHITE BOY GO!!
