Dates with Dad

As in all things around here, the girls dates nights with dad seem to ebb and flow. We are taking some wonderful parenting classes right now (more on that later) & are recommitted to fitting this one-on-one time into our schedules. I have to laugh at the pictures Bill took of their dates... because he's not in any of them.

A few weeks ago our good friends from Vegas, the Nelson's, came to visit their family. Well, just half of them came- Mike and Makayla. So Bill and Madisen drove to Vyder to spend a few hours with them. The girls laughed, giggled, played dress up, colored, and rode the golf cart for hours. Bill said they picked up where they left off and really enjoyed being together. I love this sweet picture of them. Two mis-matched girly girls posing for the camera.
I have to take a trip down memory lane here for a minute. Madisen and Makayla have been friends since they were about 2. Here is the earliest picture I have of them. They spent many hours together playing babies, dress ups, at the park, riding bikes, swimming, and more.

About 2 weeks later Bill was invited to a baseball game with Justin and Spencer. It was Caitlyn's turn for a date with dad so off they went. She had a BLAST! Popcorn, soda, hot dogs, a late night and dad's undivided attention... what more could you want? She's still talking about the train that whistled every time the Astros scored and riding in Spencer's car.
