Well....I'm back. I've had a nice blog-cation this past month and a half. I didn't really intend to take said vacation, it was kind of forced on me, but it's been kind of nice. Soon after the new year, I went to publish on my blog and got an error message that my free blogger account had used up all the free storage and I would either need to pay to continue using my blog address or start a new one. At first I wasn't sure what I wanted to do, but soon decided I would rather start a new one than pay. It took several days to try and think up names, addresses, set up new blog, etc. All the names I tried to use were taken it seemed. I finally set up a blog with an address I wanted using my same email, but when I went to post it said it was full again. Hmm. Guess you can't start a new blog using the same email address and expect to have more room. So then I went to delete that blog address so I could re-use that address under Chad's email account, but apparently they save your blog after you delete it for 40 days or so in case you decide to re-open the blog. Problem after problem it seemed. So I have stepped away from the computer and the blog for awhile. I actually enjoyed this time and have felt a bit relieved in some sense. But in any case, I'm ready to start back up again. The new site isn't all done, but it's a start. I didn't realize how much time goes into setting up a blog. I think I forgot. I've gotten a couple posts in and have more to catch up on but thought I should let you know where to go to check up on us. We are good. Busy, but good.
You can now hop on over and visit us at par 5 family or you you can click here. Don't forget to save it in your Google Reader too. Nice seeing you again.

bball
Today Chad decided to take the girls to the gym so they could run around and he could practice a bit with Presley. 
She starts basketball in a couple of weeks (Chad is her coach) and she got a new basketball for Christmas she has been dying to try out so she was super excited
Cousin Gabi and A.Cindy and U.Ben came so Gabi could practice too. U.Ben kept Addison and Reese entertained chasing them around the gym.

We decided to have a low-key New Years this year. 
I wanted to stay home, so we decided to invite Chad's parents and sister and her family over. We had salad, shrimp, ordered a pizza and dessert. 
We watched football and basketball games, played Wii - Just Dance 2 and then played Apples to Apples. Reese made it until about 10 and the older 2 surprised me by staying up until midnight. I think this may be a first for them.
Gabi was excited to see the ball drop....my 2 didn't know what to think.
They got really confused when everyone started giving hugs and kisses. ; )
U.Ben helped Addy stay awake by playing Toy Story 3 with her.
After the ball dropped there was dancing and celebrating from the girls bringing in the New Year. 
Happy New Years!

Happy New Years! Super Secret Mission
Earlier this week we gave the girls baths and surprised them with new pajamas. They were so happy. Princess & the Frog for Reese, Jessie & Bullseye (Toy Story 3) for Addy and Ariel for Presley. We played a few games that they had gotten for Christmas and then instead of telling them it was time to go upstairs to bed we told them to get their boots on. 
Presley was confused. And then she got excited. She told Addy that we were going to look at lights. I didn't tell them anything except that we were going on a super secret mission. We popped a new dvd that they had gotten for Christmas in the van on the way.
On our way, I asked Addy if she knew where we were going. She said, "I don't know, maybe Disney World." Wouldn't that have been the ultimate secret mission?
The girls were thrilled when we walked in to Krispy Kreme donuts. They went right over and watched the donut line. We picked out our donuts and then went to find a seat, when we noticed our cousins walk in! : ) How exciting. Surprise, surprise!!!
