Family Bowling Night With The Clark's (The Other Clark's)

 To celebrate the New Year with The Clark's (the other Clark's) we decided to go bowling!  Not sure if the girls were more excited about actually bowling or getting new shoes to wear.  And who knew they made shoes Asa's size!

 Here's Aunt Liz getting a high five from Jackson.

 And Uncle Ben showing us his fancy bowling skills. 

 Asa is taking it all in for her game with Uncle Ben.  And look at those little bowling shoes!  How cute are they!!!

 Asa's turn!  They have these fun little bowling racks for the little kiddo's to use.  Asa wasn't so sure about it all at first but then quickly got the hang of it especially with big sis showing her.

Okay so is it bad when your 2 year old scores better than you?  Yes, I came in last place - heck someone had to do it!

Christmas Was A Blur This Year

Wow Christmas came and went really fast this year - guess that's what happens when you have a baby two weeks before the big day!  It was a hoot and so great to have a new little bundle of joy to share.  Dylan is in love with her baby sister even said to her "Asa you picked the right family" - very sweet. 

This year we weren't only bless with Miss Asa but Auntie Beans, G-ma & G-pa Montana, Uncle Ben, Auntie Liz, and Jackson on Christmas day.  There was wrapping paper and bows everywhere.  We got it all cleaned up just in time for G-ma Melvene and G-pa Rick to come knocking the next day.

Winterfest Dance Recital

 December 9th Dylan had her Winterfest dance recital at the Seattle Center.  It was a big deal!  She was very excited and so was I as I hadn't gone into labor yet and was able to make it!  The kiddo's got to dance at the Seattle Center Stage in the food court.  It was a big turn out of folks including Uncle Ben, Auntie Liz, Jackson, G-ma Melvene and G-pa Rick, and Auntie Beans.  Dylan's group was third to perform but it didn't stop her from standing on the side of the stage cheering and telling all the other dancers "nice job."

After the performance Dylan got two bouquets of flowers - oh the smile on her face!

Here's some pictures outside running around with cousin Jackson.

And a great one of her running through Seattle Center caring her flowers.

Oh have I ever mentioned how I think Dylan will be a street performer later in life.  She's always been fascinated  by them.  Here she is doing a little performance all on her own out in front of EMP, which made for a great back drop.

And here's an additional performance - this one being more of a running piece which she did four or five times!

Fabulous job Dylan - we are all so proud of you!!!  It takes a big girl to get up in front of all those people and dance your heart out!  You are awesome and I'm soo soo soo happy I got to see you dance.  And thank you to all that came out to watch.
