ENJOYING THE WEATHER...

 So today I was on the phone with a friend for about 15 mintues. As I get off I realized it's really quiet and go look for Ronan and Sadie. They drug a blanket out and started to have their own little picnic. I thought it was so cute that they get along so good and were having so much fun.

Then I looked in the bag to see what was for lunch....I dying laughing!

Tub of butter

Tub of cream cheese

Fresca

Leftover hamburger and corn from last night

Orange

Yogurt

...and a pad of paper and pencil...just in case.

They wondered why I was laughing!

I Love them and Love that they play so good together.

(Sugar Coma)

 Valentines day came and went. Noah and I signed up for a fundraiser babysitting thing for Fri. night but ended up being the night of a fellow church member's funeral. So we spent our Valentine night at a funeral...but is was very sweet and we were glad to be there for them. We skipped out of the dinner afterward and went to dinner with our good friends the Fawsons. Love them!

 On the actual V-days spent it at home with the kids. I made sugar cookies and the kids helped decorate them for some special V-day people.  I ate waaaaaaaay to many. Just looking at those pink cookies kind of makes me sick.

The kids got a special V-day package from my parents. They love getting things in the mail...as you can see.

We had a fun V-day dinner with the kids. Noah grilled the most amazing steaks I have ever had!!! Ruth's Chris had nothing on them! We passed out treats to our neighbor kids, then it was off to bed. Not too exciting.  

Happy late LOVE day from us!

Just when I thought winter was close to coming to an end...Mother Nature has to go and do this...!!!

 I really do not like living in snow! As pretty as is looks the first day...it all melts and then turns to a soggy ugly mess all over. The kids love it though. School was canceled yesterday because of the snow so the kids got to play in the snow all day! I still have to remind my Arizona born kids that you have to actually put on a coat and boots when it's snowing outside! Still a new concept to them I guess.

 Stuck in the car because I forgot to defrost the ice! It takes awhile.

This morning I got up early to go to the gym and it was a mere 17 degrees!!! I wanted to cry. Then my sweet husband got up and scraped off the ice off the doors so he could open them and turn on the heater. That made my day....because I probably would have thrown in the towel if I had tried to open the frozen car doors. 

This weekend they are calling for Sunny and 60 degrees!! I can't wait!!

Feliz Cumpleanos, Mi amor

 Noah turned 31 last week. He spent his B-day morning in urgent care with Brody. His asthma was so bad and needed another steroid shot to open him up. Then he got to go to school all day...yeah! We had a little birthday celebration that night.

We love him so much and are thankful everyday for all that he does for us.

Jamestown

 For Martin Luther King day we took a little day trip over to the Historic triangle. Jamestown, Yorktown and Williamsburg. One of the coolest parts of living in VA is all the rich history surrounding us. It's so fun to watch my kids learn about the history of our country and see how excited they get about it! They loved learning that we are living in the exact spot where the English landed and started the first colony...Virginia!!

In Jamestown we did a fun tour that showed us how people lived and survived. Boy am I grateful to live in 2011!! Those poor people had it so rough. They had this fun ship that they built to look like one that would have been used. 

 It was pretty cold this day!

 

Warming up inside.

Next, we headed to my Favorite town...Williamsburg. I seriously love it here!! I had already been a couple times and since it was sooo cold, we just drove around and looked at all the cute things Williamsburg has to offer. We found this adorable neighborhood. Every house was as cute as this house, if not cuter!! I may need to get me a house there someday.
