That's a lot of snow...

WOW!!! It hasn't snowed like this in years! It is so beautiful. Yesterday as it was falling...all we could do is keep checking the window and saying it's still snowing?!!! Crazy. The kids haven't got out too much, yesterday they started a snowman and they are out there now to finish. Maddy doesn't want anything to do with it. I wish I could find my Carharts because I really want to walk around and take some pics. I love snow.

My Pals...

I can't say enough about these ladies....these are my bestest friends and they are very dear to me. Each one has special characteristics that I adore. Let's start with....Kelly. She was the first of the bunch that I met. At first she was bossy, and mean, but then I realized...she was just like me!!!! We get along fine, and she is usually in a good mood and smiling...I like that. Next is Tana. I think of her as my mom. She is loving, caring, thoughful, and she helps me stay out of trouble. Then there is Amy. She is very kind, sweet and giving. She thinks of others often, and tries to make them feel special. And then there is Chrystal. She is new to us, but we still think she is the greatest addition to our clan. She is polite, quiet, and understanding. We all like to eat, scrapbook, and just spend time together. We are "The Fab Five" and I love these gals!!! I'm fortunate to have all kinds of friends.....

My friend's wedding

This is my friend Lindsey. I haven't known her long, and we work at school together. I was asked to be the bridesmaid, and Maddy was asked to be the flower girl. She had a simple home wedding and it was lovely. I have been 3 bridesmaids in my life, and I have enjoyed each wedding. Friends are so important in our lives. Lindsey is very sweet and fun to be around. She lets me be "me", and she doesn't complain. She has a contagious laugh...she is a great friend. Hope you have a wonderful life together! I am glad we are friends!

Baby it's COLD outside!

My poor animals. Bucko is so darn cold out there. Despite the bitterly cold temps...he continues his daily duties of sleeping, eating, herding the horses, sleeping, herding the horses, napping, herding the horses...you get the picture. He is no inside dog, a few minutes inside and he is ready to go out again. I sure love this old dog!

Christmas Album...

One of many albums I am working on with all these snow days....
I have completed albums for most everyone now...I just need to get to Walgreens to get my pics to put in them!
Darn snow....I mean...lovely snow. I truly do love it. I have rearranged my scrap area, and I am trying to get "organized". This will be a very hard task for me. I really need an all day crop Sara...we might just do one and you can come after Conor's game?????

Snow con't.....

What fun the silly kids are having outside. I love the snow....love sipping hot cocoa....love seeing rosy red cheeks when they come in from outside...love reading my books...and love scrapping on a cold winter's day! Out of school tomorrow, which is good because our road is still bad. Stay warm this week...it's gonna get cold!

Snow...

Waking up to a snow plow is... a wonderful thing...and an annoying thing.
Wonderful because, I love it when it snows. Especially this beautiful powdery snow.
Annoying because, I was sleeping really good!
We went out after breakfast, and within a few minutes Maddy was crying because she was cold.
She was bundled very well. Her mitten came off and her fingers got cold too. Poor baby. Cameron and Dakota decide to build stuff, but it doesn't pack well, so the next thing I hear is water running. I look out and they are filling buckets of water to make the snow stick together! What dorks....but I do have to say, that there is a pretty good looking igloo behind my house. I didn't get that many pics, but hopefully this stick around till tomorrow so I can get more. Have a great snow day!
