Gymnastics Night for the Girls

The "Big" girls have had season tickets to DU gymnastics now for eight years and it is something we look forward to doing. This year is neat because we get to include Samantha in the girls night and she is loving it! She gets so mesmorized by all the showmanship and she dances to all the music. At the end of the meet they always do the Cowboy Cha Cha and let all the kids come down to the floor. Samantha could not wait to bounce on the springy floor and she had a blast. This night was special because she got to meet and get an autograph from Olympic silver medalist Alicia Sacramone. She also picked out her favorite DU gymnast and got her picture taken with her. Samantha likes Brianna the best because they both have the same colored ponytail :0) At the end of the night Samantha asked, "Mommy when I grow up can I be a gymnast?" It made my heart melt to see her enjoying herself so much! Maybe one day we will be cheering her on at her gymnastics meet!

New Year's Eve

Happy New Years everyone! Man we can't believe it is 2010 already! Where has the time gone. We had a great year in 2009 and we are looking forward to an even better year! It is still very cold here in Colorado and there does not seem to be any change any time soon. The kiddos will be back to school soon and we can all get back on schedule. But before we can do all that we had to share in a little holiday cheer with our friends. Chris and I went and enjoyed the New Year with a group of friends with dinner at Miyama's and then back to the Brassells for some after dinner drinks :0) What a fun night! We haven't seen much of everyone since its been so cold, and we definitely made up for it. Now time to get back to the real world...
