Disney On Ice!!!

Mom got it in her head that we should go to see Disney on Ice.  (Not sure who wanted to see it more!?!?!)  We went today and LOVED it!  The kids were excited to see all their favorite Disney characters and we had an AWESOME family day! 

This means WAR!!!

Ava has turned into a pretty competitive War (the card game) player. (My last game with her lasted almost 2 hours!!!)  She even roped Grandma and Grandpa into a game.  (She of course WON!!!)

1000 posts!

I just saw a notification that this is my 1000 post on  Baby Bille.  So many fun adventures in only 6 short years!  I am so glad you can all be a part of our family and watch us grow!  Stay tuned for more of our Bille Family Fun!

Snow Day Fun!

Visit to Monroe

Last weekend we had a whirlwind visit to see our friends in Monroe.  We had lunch with Larry and Glenda (who gave us the coolest books EVER!), then we had a play date with Joah and Brynn, and later we went and had dinner with Terri and Ed, and Kelli, Bill, and the triplets at the Brunton's house.  We were exhausted after a LONG day but feel so blessed that we have such long lasting friendships in Monroe!

Ava's Field Trip

Ava went on a field trip last week to see a play in Hartford.   One of the moms that chaperoned was nice enough to send me a picture of Ava and her friend Cara on the bus ride home!  She has a great time!

Ava's First "Earned" Dollar

Ava is a working girl now!  Aunt Andrea is now selling Tastefully Simple products and Ava helped her pass out the products at her last show (It was at Grandma Bille's)  Aunt Andrea paid her $1 for her services AND invited her over later for a sleepover!!  I have a feeling Ava will be more than happy to offer her services again!!!

Ava's Half Time Performance!

Ava's Basketball Debut

Our little Ava went to her first basketball camp last week.  (I got the inside scoop from the gym teacher at my school and although it was a Beaver Dam camp, she was "ok'd to come!) She was the smallest one there but definitely showed improvement by the end of the day.  She goes back next two Sunday afternoons and then will be performing at half time of a HS Girls BBall game. 

Too Cute Not to Share!

Dana and Lucas just posted a few of the professional pictures from their July wedding.  This one was just too cute not to share!  

 

Kyle's 15 Minutes of Fame!

Our Super Star!!!  Kyle was asked to go to a Badger Basketball game with his good friend Luke.  Little did he know that he would be picked to play one of the shooting games during a tv time out!  AND HE WON!!!  This will give him bragging rights for at least 20 years! 

Ava's Kindergarten Christmas Concert

Due to the blizzard that hit Wisconsin right before Christmas, Ava's Kindergarten Christmas Concert had to be postponed.  I ran out at lunch to catch a performance, but I didn't have the best view.  Thankfully a mom of one of Ava's friends shared her great shots!  Ava stole the show of course.

Happy New Year 2013!

Wow!  What a night.  It was a wonderful FAMILY night!  Ava kept saying, "This is the best night EVER!"  First we started with our New Year's Eve tradition of fondue!  The kids had such a great time!  Then we moved to family game night.  We played Candy Land (Ava Won), Hi-Ho Cheerio! (Ava Won), The Very Hungry Caterpillar Game (Ava Won) and Sequence for Kids (Mom Won) ** It should be noted that Ryan came in second place in 3/4 of the games (and no... we didn't let them win!!)  Later we had ice cream sundaes and root beer floats.  Then we had a balloon drop and toast (with sparkling grape juice) at 9pm!  What an AWESOME night!

Dells Weekend!

We had AN AWESOME time at the Wilderness thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Bille.  There was only one catch.... Grandpa Bille couldn't make it!  It started snowing Friday morning... and didn't stop until late in the afternoon on Saturday.  We were SO disappointed Grandpa couldn't be there, but we still managed to to have a TON of FUN!  Ava mastered the water slides this year, and Ryan LOVED the wave pool.  (We do have quite the story of mom sending Ryan down one of the medium sized water slides and possibly traumatizing him for life.... oops! AND of Andrea getting stuck in the wave pool!!!)
