Princesses and Duggars!

I am exhausted! The kind of exhausted that is so satisfying. We just got home from a wonderful weekend with my sister and her family in Colorado Springs! The trip was spawned after we found out that Disney Princesses on Ice was going to be at the World Arena in Colorado Springs.


My sister, Jenna and I took the older two girls, Elli and Blaire to the event. We started out with dinner and then took off for the World Arena. With Jenna living so far away from us up until recently, this was the first opportunity for us to do "girl time" with our daughters! What a good time we had!


As we settled into our seats with Tinker Bell mugs stuffed with shaved ice the anticipation was nearly uncontainable for ALL of us! The lights went down and out came Tinker Bell flying across the ice! The girls, dropped jawed watched as the Disney Princesses glided and jumped across the ice and were whisked around by their Prince. They would only momentarily take their eyes away from the ice to get a mouthful of shaved ice. It was awesome!




After the girls experienced Disney Princesses on Ice they were dying to go ice skating. So we made that happen. The next day we headed to a local ice skating rink. The kids did great and by the end of the session all three kids were getting the hang of it. Presleigh, however, was none too happy about watching from the sidelines. The only disappointment for Blaire, aside from having to quit, was that they didn't have any pink ice skates for her to wear.



The following day we headed to Pueblo to have breakfast with my Grandma, Uncle Dave, Alana and Matt. We had a great time visiting and talking over one another(we are all Davis' as you know!) It was great to find everyone well and have some time to catch up.

After breakfast we headed back into Colorado Springs and over to Focus on the Family. I am a big fan of the show 19 Kids and Counting which features a family by the name of Duggar. I am not one to get wrapped up in that sort of thing, but I really find the show inspiring and a blessing. The family was doing a book signing and Jenna and I jumped at the chance to meet them. We got there and stood in line for about an hour for the book signing. They were wonderful. They shook our hands and introduced themselves and were sweet to our children. I definitely respect them and the way they raise their children and they are debt free which is also very remarkable and something Stuart and I are aiming for!






As we rounded out the weekend with a trip to Chuckee Cheese, I felt so blessed. It is so amazing to be able to watch my children experience new things and enjoy life with you. I am so thankful for my children and Stuart and can't imagine my life without them.
