Crazy Snow!

We woke up this morning to 12 1/2 inches of snow on our driveway and 14 3/4 inches on our grass. The weather man said the storm was coming and they weren't kidding. James was out there for over 2 hours clearing off the snow.
This is the fun I get to put up with all winter. Ziva goes outside and plays in the snow then comes inside and it won't come off her fur. So all morning we had little snowballs all over the house. It was a long day. Hopefully we won't have to much snow in the valley this winter.


I loved how bright the blue was in the sky this morning. But way to much snow.

Katelyn's first teeth she lost!

At nights when we put our kids to bed they like playing around and calling us into their rooms 10 times before they fall asleep. The other night, Katelyn said "Mom come here" and I told her "just a minute" because I was busy doing stuff and she yells "I lost a tooth" I went into her room surprised because I knew she didn't have a loose tooth. There she was holding her tooth in her hand. I told her to go into the bathroom and spit because her mouth was full of blood and she did, saw the blood and freaked out. After her mouth stopped bleeding I asked her "What Happened" and she said she was pretending like she was falling off her bed and had her comforter in her mouth. Then Ziva came in and tried taking one of her stuffed animals so she tried grabbing it from her and started slipping off her bed but her comforter stayed. So out popped her tooth. After looking in her mouth we saw that she also made the one next to it loose so that was going to come out within a week. Now the funny thing was that the next morning she keep crying because her mouth hurt and she couldn't eat anything so I told her to stay home from school and take it easy. She didn't want that. She wanted to go to school to show her teacher. So she went to school. And stayed the whole day.


This was her on Tuesday night after she lost her first tooth.


On Saturday she was eating some chocolate rock candies and out came the other tooth.


James told her that she is starting to become accident pron since she has had 2 accident's in less than a month and that is "Unacceptable"

I love my Nephew but...

I love my nephew Preston but I'm so glad we are over the toddler stage. But I have to admit, he had a great time pulling everything out of the drawers.

Now don't get me wrong my kids still make HUGE messes. (Just look at my basement)

Garrett's school program!

Garrett's 3rd grade class did a Veterans Program. They sang songs, had a flag parade and honored our Veterans. Garrett got to wear a jacket that his Great Grandpa Jim wore during World War 2. It was big and hot but he enjoyed wearing it especially because not all kids were wearing some kind of veteran clothing. He did a great job and it was alot of fun watching him during his program.

A bucket of balls... or 4

We took Garrett and Katelyn out to hit a bucket of balls. They loved it except it was so windy. They both did great and can't wait to do it again next Spring.

Dang Dog!

Don't you just HATE it when you make something so yummy like this and
then the DANG DOG get's a hold of it...

But really... It's HARD to resist.
