The boys school bill...



To whoever paid on our boys school bill. Thank You Very much! I told Ryan God was working and we didn't even know it. It is encouraging as our life has seemed a little overwhelming the last year or so.

Valentine's Day!

Ryan had gotten me a dozen roses but I didn't have a vase big enough for all of them, so I split up what would fit in the 2 I had. He gave them to me a day early because he was afraid they were gonna die! lol! That was funny! He had gotten them Friday evening and hid them under the desk in the office...? Who would have ever thought of such an idea?!?! ;o) I was impressed he was thinking that far ahead!!

Nichole







I asked Nichole if she would fold some kitchen towels while I was checkin on the cookies she asked me if we could make, When I turned around she said," Look mom, I am old lady"!? Not sure what that meant. She is so silly sometimes! She knows how to make me smile!! :o)

The weather we've been waiting for!!


It is hard to imagen that in a weeks time we had at least 12 inches of snow and 82 degree weather!! And I am not complaining! It was wonderful!! We got to play outside, ride fourwheelers, wear flip flops :o), go to the park, etc.!! Courtney woke up this morning very disappointed that it was cold outside and had been raining!! :o(

Not another snow day......

We had another snow day last week....Courtney has made it clear that she isn't impressed with snow. She asked me the other day where it came from and if we could send it back! This morning she excitedly announced that there was no more snow on the deck and wanted to know if she could go out there. When she did she jumped with joy and sang the snow is gone, the snow is gone!! (she cracks me up) She is like her mom in the fact that you don't have to wonder what she is thinking!! And yes, I know, that can be a positive thing and a negative thing!!
The best part of snow days!!!! BEDTIME!! :0)

Courtney was having a rough time, and in her frusteration with everybody and everything she fell asleep on the floor under the table! But not for long before she woke up grumping at everyone...again! :o)












Nichole dressed her self!







We did computer games!






And legos!! Lots of legos! The boys are very creative with them!





He put that on his head by himself!? Not sure where he has seen it.







I was suppose to be helping make a semi truck....after at least an hour I quit. I perfer the boxes with a big picture, the steps and all the pieces! The kids don't get there imagentation from me!! It's all their daddy!!

Does she look guilty or what??! We were making pumpkin bread, I went to get my camera and came back to find her/catch her licking the spatula! She was like uh-oh...busted!

Headed to Wal-Mart!!

More what I had in mind!!
I told my kids to get ready to go to Wal-mart and if they didn't want to do their hair to get a hat....So, Nichole and Landyn came out like this!! :o)

Snow, Snow, And More Snow.....

We made some snow icecream for after lunch! The kids are excited about that!!

We are suppose to get 12-14 inches last I heard!! Blah!! :o( That means we are stuck in the house for a few days, with no school taboot! We will all be stir crazy before its over!!





Went out this morning to shovel snow off the sidewalk so it won't be so hard when Ryan does it after work. The kids thought it was neat to see mommy in daddys camo! I was in search of warm clothes while I did what every female wants to do....shovel snow!! :o)


~Sisters~

Gettin ready to go to church!

Shed Hunting/Nature Walk

We went on a nature walk/shed hunting Saturday, it was such a nice day! We walked about two hours, which was a little lengthy for the girls, so we took turns giving shoulder rides. Needless to say it was a little later in the day so the kids were a little tired to start out with. But we had fun...except Courtney who thought she was gonna die everytime she saw deer poop, got scratched or had to walk through tall weeds.
Nichole was ready to go!!






Break time, which according to Courtney didn't happen near enough!


Our Drama Queen...she was absolutely hilarious...for 2 hours all we heard was, this is gross, yuck, eww, Daddy can we go home, it smells like poop, ouch, I am too tired, lets go back to the truck, I wanna go home, I dont like this, can you give me a shoulder ride,I need a drink, this would make Jesus sad, I can't make my boots walk through this(my two favorite), I'm hot, wait for me, etc., etc., etc. She is not gonna be daddy's little tomboy! When we finally got back to the truck her last words were "Daddy, I DID NOT have fun."





Landyn....posing!? You never know what he is thinking!







































Like Father, Like Son!











The only way Courtney was happy!! And poor Ryan, his shoulders were feeling it by bed time!!
