Happy New Year's Day!

Happy New Year 2022 Day!! It's tradition to go to Macayos/Eddies on New Years Day with my dad! Well 1yr ago on New Year's Day my father passed away. So not only did we not get to do our annual Macayo's/Eddies that day last year we forever don't get daddy every day! So to honor and remember daddy we all got together on New Years Day and Enjoyed Macayo's/Eddies together! Eryka traveled into to town! We are keeping the tradition alive and celebrating daddy's life all together! There's nothing I need more that to be with all my siblings especially on the 1st day of the year remembering daddy! We love and miss our amazing daddy so much! In lots of ways we still can't believe he is gone and that it's already been 1 yr without him! Healing is long and hard. We are getting through it 1 day at a time! 

I was truly grateful for today this New Years day to be with all the ones that hold us together! I love my family! Love you daddy! I know you are dancing and celebrating the New Year with momma in Heaven!

My brother and family, Kip's family and Paris' family all came out and enjoyed the dunes with us! It was a cold one! Windy and rainy on a couple days! That doesn't stop the riding! lol Me however spent most my time playing card games in the trailer! lol Chad surprised  the kids with a new dirt bike for Christmas! They couldn't wait to get out and ride! We had truck problems heading out of town but thankfully for Chad's dad we got to use his truck so we could still go to the dunes! We ended up getting out to the dunes a day late but we still made it! Yay! 

Such a  great few days at the dunes! Lots of riding, yummy food, treats and game playing! 

Ruby did so good out there too! She loves her free reign! lol That made Penny nervous but she always seemed to find us after she would wander off! Such a good baby! She loves being with us!

Merry Christmas Eve!

Merry Christmas Eve at the Golden Knights Ice Rink! We took the kids Ice skating! They were so excited! What a great time! Not too busy and great pricing too! Penny begs me to go all the time and I just wasn't what to do with Piper!  Finally got her back there to skate and just put Piper in skates and said "here you go" lol! This was Piper's first time on ice skates! She did soooooo good! She used a cone for balance to start then moved to a walker style push thing then before I knew it she was skating all by herself! She absolutely loved it! So proud of her! Penny and Cash were little pros in my eyes! lol! This was Cash's 2nd time on ice skates! He killed it out there! Jumping and twisting! Catching some air too! This was Penny's 3rd time ice skating and she was a rock star! She was turning,  twisting, going backwards, going on one leg and then even dipping down! So good! All were so much fun too watch! Can't wait to take them back! Defiantly a new Christmas Eve tradition! Ice Skating!

After ice skating we went to Red Robin for dinner! We walked right in, no wait had had a wonderful time! I love this time of year! I love being with my little family! I love getting my honz all to myself! The shop closed and he's all mine from Christmas eve until the New year! Wahoo!!!
