For the Beauty of the Earth...


Although I complain about the snow banks being high and 3 inches of ice on the roads, it really is beautiful in Huntsville. This is out past our backyard.

Ady's new crib


This here little basket holds our blankets to cuddle up with on the couch - well, it's now Ady's new crib, so she says... this is how I found her the other morning.

Watch out!

Watch out for stupid, stinkin garbage cans in the middle of the road! And those are not the words I used when I hit one either! In the little town of Huntsville that I reside, the snow banks are tall, the roads are 3 inches thick of ice and they take the plow down the road one time, yes one time. I looked down for a split second and BAM! Ady said, "what was that mom?" I couldn't even tell her cause I was so, well you know...

Oh yeah, baby...

So, my baby's a skiier! Well, she's really not my baby anymore, she'll be 6 next week... but I can't believe it! One day on the slopes with her uncle and she's a pro, she even wanted to miss school the next week to hit the slopes with her mommy. I couldn't allow that, but did promise her a date. She healed really quickly from her tonsillectomy, so when my sister came to town, I thought it would be good for her to learn. So glad - thanks Cahoonies!



Meet my new boyfriend and other happenings...

Cutie petooties sitting in the snow at Wolf Mountain, so patiently waiting for our fam...

So, this kid is pretty dang cute if you ask me... I LOVE to kiss him too. And, he even likes me! Couldn't ask for anything better! For now, I'll call him my boyfriend. Love you M!

New Year's Eve

We had a great time with long-time friends on New Year's Eve. I used to babysit her 21-year old son and 19-year old daughter many, many years ago. Ahhh, I'm getting old, but you're older my friend... It was fun to hang with you guys!







Ahhh... where does the time go?

Christmas was nice! Nothing in particular, and actually really quiet. My mom and dad flew to Indiana early Christmas morning and no other siblings in sight. The girls dad came VERY early to watch the girls open their presents, we had breakfast and hung out for the morning. We all took a nap as Lexxy still wasn't up-to-par with her tonsillectomy and in the afternoon we hung out at our Bishop's house. They are great friends! Lots of yummy food and lots of Wii playing.

That's my little Sm'ads modeling her Christmas loot!
Lexxy really does have darling matching pajamas, but she chooses these...?
