WORLD OF WHEELS

I WAS A WINNER AGAIN ON THE RADIO. THIS TIME I WON FOUR TICKETS TO WORLD OF WHEELS. THAT IS THE CAR SHOW DOWN AT BARTLE HALL. TARALYN HAD A GIRL SCOUT THING LAST SATURDAY NIGHT SO HUNTER, MIKE AND I HEADED DOWN TO CHECK OUT THE CARS. HUNTER WAS QUITE IMPRESSED WITH ALL THE CARS. AFTER ABOUT THREE ROWS HE WAS DONE AND READY TO GO. OF COURSE HE DID TAKE TIME TO POSE IN FRONT OF A FEW OF HIS FAVORITE CARS.

SO MUCH SNOW SO MANY PICTURES

OK SO I CAN'T STAY OUT OF THE SNOW! AFTER COMING HOME FROM JEREMY'S AND SEEING THAT YES OUR STREET HAD BEEN PLOWED WE COULD NOT RESIST THE SNOW MOUND. THE JOY OF BEING IN A CUL DE SAC WITH THE ONLY YARD TO PUSH THE SNOW INTO. THE KIDS WERE SO EXCITED. ALTHOUGH TONITE WITH THE SUN GONE IT WAS SO MUCH COLDER. WITH BELOW FREEZING TEMPS NEXT

COUPLE OF DAYS THE MOUND WILL HAVE TO WAIT. BUT EVENTUALLY I AM SURE IT WILL BE A FORT, IGLOO AND TUNNEL SYSTEM ALL IN ONE!!! FEEL FREE TO COME PLAY IN THE SNOW WITH US!!!!

ENJOYING BLIZZARD OF 2011

JEREMY AND BETH INVITED US OVER TO THIER HOUSE FOR LUNCH AND TO PLAY IN THE SNOW. SINCE WE HAVE 4 WHEEL DRIVE OF COURSE WE HEADED RIGHT OVER. AFTER JEREMY FIXED EVERYONE WHAT THEY WANTED FOR LUNCH..PB&J WAS HIS SPECIALITY TODAY, WE HEADED OUT. LUCAS AND ADDI HAD ALREADY MADE SOME IMPRESSIVE IGLOO AND TUNNELS OUT OF THE MOUND OF SNOW FROM THE DRIVEWAY. KIDS ALL HAD A BLAST DIGGING OUT THE TUNNELS AND OF COURSE A SNOWBALL FIGHT. OF COURSE I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE GOOD WET SNOW. HUNTER AND AUNT BETH ENJOYED SOME SLEDDING.

BLIZZARD 2011 THE AFTERMATH

OK SO THE BLIZZARD FINALLY CAME TO END WITH I AM SURE 12 INCHES OUT THERE. WHO NEEDS TO MEASURE ONCE IT IS UP TO UR KNEES DOES IT REALLY MATTER. OF COURSE IF YOU COME TO VISIT ENTER THROUGH GARAGE AS YOU CAN SEE MY FRONT PORCH IS NOT ACCESSIBLE AT THIS TIME. CUTTER IS LOVING ALL THIS SNOW AND THE NEIGHBORS ALL GOT A GOOD LAUGH AT HIM RUNNING AROUND IN THE SNOW. I DID MANAGE TO ACCOMPLISH THE MOST IMPORTANT THING AND THAT IS THE TRASH. YES THEY ACTUALLY SAID THEY WILL BE PICKING UP TRASH...OF COURSE I AM STILL WAITING TO GET MY STREET PLOWED. SO IF YOUR OUT AND ABOUT GOT BEEF STEW IN CROCK POT AND PLENTY OF HOT CHOCOLATE. STAY WARM OUT THERE.

BLIZZARD 2011

SO YES THE BLIZZARD CAME MAYBE NOT QUITE LIKE THEY FIRST EXPECTED BUT STILL PRETTY GOOD SNOW OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. I JUST TOOK CUTTER OUT AND MEASURED CLOSE TO 10 INCHES IN A UN DRIFTED AREA. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ARE FINAL TOTALS WILL BE!!! WE WILL KEEP THE UPDATES COMING AS LONG AS WE HAVE POWER....LOL OF COURSE WHEN I LEFT FOR WORK THIS MORNING IT WAS NOT SO FUNNY AND WHEN I HAD TO LEAVE WORK EARLY BECAUSE DAYCARE CLOSED STILL NOT FUNNY. BUT NOW THAT I AM HOME AND IN MY BED DRINKING WARM COFFEE I CAN ACTUALLY HAVE A LITTLE GIGGLE. SO I HOPE YOU ALL ARE READING THIS FROM THE WARMTH OF YOUR HOME.

SLEDDING JANUARY 2011

FINALLY AFTER THAT BIG SNOW THE WEATHER WARMED UP AND WE WENT SLEDDING. WE WENT OUT AND PICKED UP ALEXA SO SHE COULD GO TO BRENDA'S WITH US TO SLED FOR THE DAY. AFTER ABOUT 50 TRIPS BACK UP THE HILL I WAS DONE. HUNTER REALLY FOR THE FIRST TIME ENJOYED SLEDDING. HE EVEN CLIMBED UP THE HILL AND NEVER ASKED FOR HELP BACK UP. WE ALL HAD A GREAT SNOW AND WISHING FOR SNOW THAT WILL PACK FOR GREAT SNOWBALL FIGHTS AND SNOWMAN MAKING.

GREAT WOLF LODGE

COUPLE WEEKS AGO THE KIDS AND I MET DAD UP AT THE GREAT WOLF LODGE. ADDISON AND HUNTER HAD A GREAT TIME RACING DOWN THE SLIDES. HUNTER FOUND HIS NEW FOUND LOVE OF THE BIGGER SLIDES WHICH ADDISON WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH. TARALYN WAS GONE FROM THE MINUTE WE GOT THERE AND DIDN'T STOP TILL WE MADE THEM LEAVE. WHAT A FISH!!!! WE HAD AN AWESOME TIME AND WAS SO GLAD WITH AUNT BETH SHOWED UP WITH LUCAS AND TRADED ME FOR THE LITTLE ONES. THOSE TWO ARE HARD TO KEEP UP WITH.
