Our First Good Snow*

Its COLD here in the north and Abby is hibernating. We had our first ground covering snow on Friday and it is sticking around. All Hali wants to eat is snow. I hope we get a little more this week so we can do some sledding before we travel to the warm south!

Sleepy Girls!

Saturday night we were watching a Christmas movie with our girls but they didn't make it to the end. They are just so adorable I needed a picture!

Bouncing Baby Girl!

Abby thinks she has to be sitting up at all times so I started putting her in the jumper (the old kind that you hang from a doorjamb). She jumps and wiggles and swings and spins...she thinks she is sooo big! It's very cute!

A nice days work!

Crea and I are trying to get some of the finish work done on our house that we have never got around to doing. We tiled our bar and I am pretty happy with it. It took us all day one Saturday and my knees were killing me but it is done! Thanks for the tile T & K.

Arizona Family!!!

We took a quick trip to AZ over the long weekend. Nothing like 22 hours in a car over a 4 day period with 3 kids. We got to see Lana's new house....Amazing, and Shelly's new twins...Beautiful, and Garret and Angela...Surprise!! Lila and Hali had a great time with all the cousins and Mugsie (aka Bugsie by Hali). Tylee is adorable and sooo smiley! We visited with Grandma and Papa Bill, Grandma Western, and Aunt LaVera and got some cute pictures of Abby and her Grandmas! I am so thankful for my Family!

Thanksgiving BLAST!

We spent this Thanksgiving with the Christensens. Deb is an amazing cook and with so many of us the amount of food is amazing! Tami (Crea's big sis) made everyone a treat bag, they were so cute and yummy. After lunch the guys decided to start blowing things up. Pumpkins, buckets...anything they could stick the explosives in. The video is sideways--sorry. The rest of the day was spent playing games. Crea and his brothers and sisters played 3 consecutive games of RISK. It was a lot of fun!

Crea's latest task

Christensen Bro. Farms is building a hay barn. Crea has been welding and torch cutting alot lately. One day he was using the torch and looked down to see the inside of his pant leg on fire! That's my studly man! Don't worry, no permanent damage was done, except for his pants.

Hangin' with the Christiansens

Tori, Lila, & Lea

We had Mel and Ry's girls while they went to YF&R for a few days in Nov. One night Aubrey and Kaylee had Basketball prictice in Enterprise so we spent a few hours hanging with RJ and the kids (Dee was shopping with sisters). The kids all had fun doing head stands, screaming and running around. Little Blakelee wouldn't put Abby down, she loved her.

Birthday for Kindy

Mel and I painted Kindy's room for her 8th Birthday. I think Mel and I have a slight addiction to paint fumes or something because we are always looking for something to paint! Happy Birthday Lou!
