Why Not Stay Outside Longer........



And Build This

Just so you have an idea of it's size.
Suddenly our neighbors are paying alot of attention to our front yard.

Hey Daddy

Sit down, Have some snow & Stay awhile

While Mommy tries to stay warm by the van

And Trista just had to see what was going on

But it wasn't long before Trista decided that she didn't like the wind, the bright white stuff and not being able to get to her hands.
Such a sweet girl, and gets bored easy like mommy.

They Love Snow

They Love To Eat It.

They Love To Play In It.



And They Really Love To Drag It Into The House.

Each tried to sneak a snowball into the house in their pocket.

There Is Nothing Wrong With My Camera

It really was this grey outside

The trees were beautiful though.

Glistening in the snow.

But when all else fails.

Do donuts where one wrong move can put you in the river.

When They Declare A Major Winter Storm......

You Know What You Do.....



You dig out your ice scraper (that was majorly buried), dig out your boots (not worn since snowboarding six years ago) and dig out your van for a fun day of driving back country roads to the mountains (where you can't see the lines).

Baby.....It's Freezing Outside

There's a cold front moving in from the north with a high pressure system that is due to bring strong winds............... (okay).

So basically ( Mr. Weatherdude) We are bouts to freeze.

My girl that is unsure of most

And questions everything

My girl that will make you smile no matter what

And My girl that can truly light up a room

My poor babies were so exhausted by the end of the day.

Mr. Willis Wagler and his wife Martha.

I love talking to these two. Had a chance to spend some time with them when they were here in Knoxville and boy do they have stories that will trump all others.

Creationary......A Game That Tests Even My Imagination



Brothers


Time Together Spent Well

This may not be sweet

God grant me the SERENITY to accept that people are ignorant, The COURAGE to uphold the law when I am hostile and the WISDOM to realize that murder is illegal







This was posted by my dear cousin and thought that it just had to be shared.
It may not be sweet, but it is to the point.
We have all been there.

This Just In.....



Just in time for me to find something that I love.

This picture is just the beginning of more to come from a class that I will be taking in the spring. I have been searching for a craft that not only brings me joy, but also something that I can do with my children to try to teach them ways of expressing themselves through creativity. My amazing Hannah has always wanted to play around in my jewelry box since a very small age and now has the chance to design something right along with me.
