Disney on Ice and Ryan turns 33!

I bought tickets forever ago for Disney on Ice... and it turned out I had accidentally bought them to the show in Phoenix (I guess my location was set for PHX), and I didn't find out until 2 days before. I was so bummed! But I was able to sell the tickets and buy tickets for the show in Vegas. They were more expensive and not as good of seats... but Ryan was able to come! The kids all loved it! I am glad we were able to go as a family.

Marlee was so cute! She was in awe the first few minutes :)

They did 2 little shows, The Princess and the Frog, Cinderalla, and Tangled. They were all cute. There was an intermission in the middle and the kids got $12 popcorn, what a rip off! haha :) but they loved it :)

Marlee wanted to be big and sit on her own.

The lady behind us was nice enough to take a family picture... didn't turn out the best but it's all we got!

Tangled was pretty cool. They had the ice-skaters "fly" in the air which was pretty neat and I loved the lanterns.



A few years ago for Ryan's birthday we did some games with other couples, we decided we thought it would be fun to do something similar. Ryan likes to stick with small group of people that know eachother (most of you know I mix friends all the time!), so he just invited a few of the young couples from our ward. We had dinner at Olive Garden and then played games at the Whipples. It was a ton of fun, great group of people! :)

The paper bag game. I was impressed with how well the boys did! And Ryan did his "personal best" :)

We tied bananas around our waste and had to hit balls across the room, it was quite entertaining :) The Whipples went first and Jess did awesome!

The boys did the cocoa powder challenge, but I must not of given them enough because they all were able to swallow it! Except Derek :)

Us ladies did the Oreo challenge where you have to move it down from your forehead to your mouth without using any hands... the boys definitely had fun laughing at our crazy faces during the process.
