Les Miserables and Playhouse Disney

This weekend was the BEST! Saturday we went down to Opelika to visit Zach's family and to see Peyton (Zach's little bro) in Les Miserables. He played the part of Thénardier (sp?) in the musical and it was absolutely wonderful. Zach's cousin Revel is the director and he has the most amazing ability to bring out talent in these teenagers. They really are phenomenal! I don't have any pictures to document this event because apparently my camera got turned on in my purse and it lost all of its battery, but he is on Facebook and you should check them out! In spite of Peyton's wonderful music abilities, Daley was not amused. He had this big ugly chin stuck to his face with warts on the end of it and she was terrified of him!

Sunday when we returned we went to Playhouse Disney with Nichole and Bella! It was entertaining enough for me and the girls had the best time ever! Bella is so energetic! She was climbing the chairs wanting to get on the stage with the Disney characters. Cast was as follows; Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, Handy Manny, Tools, Darby, Pooh, Tigger and Little Einsteins. I would love to say she had a favorite, but she really was intrigued by them all. Her face was bug-eyed and straight the entire show, she never moved an inch (see pics below).

Love, Lindsey

Spring has Sprung!

I am so happy it is Spring! I am loving every minute of this weather. Today we went to a carnival at the First Baptist Church in Trussville with Dana and Aidan. I was so shocked when I got their because I thought this would be a little bitty carnival with just a few kiddie rides! WHAT EV! It was HUGE! I really don't know why I expected any less. If you have ever seen the size of the First Baptist Church in Trussville you should know that small is not in their vocabulary. We had the greatest time ever! It really was more like a State Fair! Daley was a bit shy when we first got there, but it didn't take long for her to come out of her shell. Her favorite ride was definitely the motorcycles. If you will see the pic of the Gigantic Wheel below, you will probably give me the "Worst Mother Ever" award because I actually took her on that ride. All it said on the sign was that if you were less than 42" you had to ride with an adult, and I saw the ride in motion briefly and was like...this might be fun. WRONG! It goes so fast! The little carts that we are suspended from whip around in circles! I felt like I was going to throw up I was so scared that Daley would go flying out and we were like 5 stories in the air! Daley was laughing her face off the whole time, and when we got off she said "again mommy" I just had to simply say "never again in our lives!" Hope you enjoy the pics!

Look Alike Meter

I found a "Look Alike Meter" online thanks to my good friend Brooke Vakakes. I was always wondering who Daley looked more like, Zach or myself. I am thinking though, that no matter what, it only varies by a few percent. Hers said her baby looked more like her husband by 6% and mine says that Daley looks more like me by 3%. Whatever, I thought it would be cool!

Snow 2009

I know it snowed just a smidgen last year, but this was the first year Daley was allowed to go outside an stand in the snow. In the morning when we first went out she was not so pleased! She did not like it actually snowing on her, in fact she spent most of her time outside standing in the garage. When we brought her in I made her some hot chocolate (you know, because that's what you drink when it is snowing) and she hated that too! We took her outside again after a couple hours, when the snow had stopped falling but was still on the ground, and she liked that much better. Her sweet Dad made her a snowman. (see pics below) It took him a really long time to make such a little snowman! But you know me, I was out there the whole time sharing all of my suggestions on how to make the best snowman! I am sure that made it so much easier. :) We really enjoyed the snow, but hopefully winter is over now and it will be warm soon! I am much more of a beach person I think!
