We had an amazing time on our Disney vacation. The drive was a bit much, but it was worth it once we go there and the fun began! We went to both Epcot and Magic Kingdom. The girls were so excited!!! Heck Frankie and I were excited too! I hadn't been there since I was 10 and Frankie had never been! The lines were not too bad at the parks even tho Spring Break was in full swing. If you use your fast passes right, you can avoid a lot of the standing in line you hear people complain about! We took lots of pictures and Mom even rode some rollercoasters! Wow! Go Me! I have to say that even tho the parks were a lot of fun, the cruise was even better. Once I got over the 1st night of motion sickness, we had a fabulous time. The 1st morning the girls hit the pools after breakfast, later in the day we went into Nassau and toured the city and went to Ardastra Gardens (a tropical garden and animal park). It was a very nice tour and the gardens were beautiful. We got to handfeed parrots and see a show starring marching flamingos! The next day was spent at the beach on Castaway Cay. We snorkeled, swam, ate BBQ, dug in the sand, had tropical drinks and Frankie got WAY sunburned!!! This was on March 20th, the day it snowed 6 inches back here in OK! Every night we ate in one of the 4 star restaurants on board the ship and went to a live show. The shows were VERY good. We loved our cruise and we will definately take another one someday. Our upcoming events include: the musical "Annie" put on by the GHS Choir and starring Shandi in her choral debute, Tri-State Choir contest for Shelby, talent show at Coyle for Sophie,and dance recital for all 3 girls in May. On top of all this, Mom has started working at a new private school in Edmond and is working several days a week, plus we are selling our house! Can you say CRAZINESS!?! Hope I can keep it together till summer vacation! Then I can breathe a sigh of relief!

More January happenings

Shelby's birthday(Jan. 15) was a lot of fun. We had a full house! We did karaoke, played a playstation dance game, made pizzas and decorated cupcakes. Fun for ALL!

Then on the 16th, Shandi performed at a Thunder game. They played against the Miami Heat that night and won I might add! The girls dance was really good. It was Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror. Their outfits were completed by shiny gloves!

My nephew, Ashton Brock Fletcher, was born January 20th, 2010 in the UK. He weighed 8lbs and 12 oz. ! He is such a pretty little baby. Brandon got to go visit this month and brought back some sweet pictures of him and Shian. Shian is 22 months old now and is quite a precious little "handful!"

Shelby had so much fun at All-State. She and Lauren got to go swimming, order in deli food, and practice a LOT! The practice paid off because their concert was beautiful!

Feb. has been pretty calm around here. No birthdays, big performances or babies to announce, but we have been planning for our Disney vacation coming up in March. We are so excited! I'm going to take Shandi's senior pictures in the Bahamas. She can't wait to go shopping for a few new outfits for her pictures. All Sophie can talk about is seeing Mickey and Minnie and the Princesses. I'm going to take a ton of pics!

This is a pic of our girls we had taken at Christmas time.

The Evans family has some fun times coming up in January. Shelby will turn 12 on Friday, the 15th. She is having a sleepover party with several friends that night. We are going to decorate cupcakes, sing some karaoke, play games on the playstation and watch movies! Then on Saturday night we head to the OKC Thunder vs. Miami Heat game at the Ford Center. Shandi will be dancing pre-game with a group of girls from her dance studio. The action doesn't stop there! January 20-23, Shelby and I will be in Tulsa for All-State Choir. We will get to hang out all that time with Stacey Johnston and Lauren. So glad Lauren made All-State too. Those girls are fun! The concert will be Saturday morning(the 23rd). We are going to stay around for the High School concert since several kids from Guthrie and my dear friend Shelia's daughter, Kalyn, (from Mustang) will be performing. I'll have pictures up as soon as possible!
