Disney on Ice

I got a wild hair and decided it would be fun to take the boys to Disney on Ice: 100 Years of Magic today. I strategically booked our seats next to the aisle just in case we needed to make a run for it. Luckily, that wasn't necessary. Both boys really seemed to enjoy it. Phew, another successful solo-parenting adventure.

Next up, St. George! The boys and I fly out tomorrow to spend a week with Gpa Pat and Gma Linda. We are very excited! What a great way to break up 3 weeks without Mark. He'll be home when we get back. WooHoo!!

Bike Ride

The weather has been AWESOME the past week or so and we have been enjoying every bit of it. We have been told (warned) not to get cocky and think that spring has sprung because apparently March and April are big snowfall months around here. We witnessed this when we visited Estes last April when we came with Mark to get him settled. I can't believe it's almost been a year.

Here are some pics from our family bike ride on Saturday. I LOVE spring weather!!

Thomas and The Circus

Cooper has discovered YouTube on my phone. He is obsessed with watching clips of little kids re-enacting Thomas episodes with their train sets. With this, he has also developed a keen eye for film (read: bossing Mom around regarding how to properly capture his Thomas love).

His first creation is titled, "Thomas and The Circus". When Cooper watched our final version, I asked him if that was an acceptable title and he informed that it was not. The actual title of the film according to Cooper is, "Thomas and The Circus and The Hippo Rolled Off The Freight Car to The Fire Station". I decided to shorten the title for editing purposes. I hope he doesn't object too much.

Before I introduce this film, I must warn you that it is a little slow moving in parts. But if you have ever watched an actual Thomas episode, you will understand that it's a lot like watching paint dry (in my humble opinion of course). Coop's version is actually spiced up a bit which says a lot about how I feel about the actual show. Of course, like any smart Film Creator would do, he's left you hanging in the end. A true cliff hanger leaves the viewer wanting more! Oh, there will be more. Trust me on this one.

Enjoy!
