❤ ONCE THERE WAS A SNOWMAN... ❤

...TALL TALL TALL

We have such a fun neighborhood! Tim took the girls out to build a snowman and they were joined by lots of little neighbor kids and Jody Kolz came to assist Tim with stacking the giant snowballs on top of each other.

Tim and Hally on their way to go tubing a couple weeks ago. Hally is always up for an adventure. Addi just wanted to stay home with mom, I think she doesn't like to walk back up the hill after she goes down. 

1 MONTH HIATUS

(I started this post on January 9th and finally finished it and posted it today, January 21st. I guess that's why it says posted on the Jan. 9th?)

Wow, it's been a long time since my last post. After the busy holidays I got started redoing our basement and that has consumed most of my spare time, but I am finally finished, so now I can get back to my normal routine. I have a lot of things to catch up on, so this may be a long couple posts. 

Christmas morning we had at our very own house. This is the first time in 6 Christmases of being married that it was just us. It was kind of nice. On Christmas Eve we had a nice ham dinner and then opened our p.j.'s, but then we were left feeling like, "What's next?" I didn't take many pictures because we got our video camera fixed and so I just used that most of the time.

Addi got Baby Alive and Hally got a dollhouse. Tim and I bought a joint present, a couch for our basement. This cut WAY back on the stress that incircles my hubby around Christmastime. We'll probably be doing the joint present thing every year.

Hey, nice handlebar mustache babe!

Then on Christmas afternoon we headed to Cedar. It was a good time as usual. There were 35 of us at Tim's parents house. It gets kind of crowded and crazy, but I love it and wouldn't have it any other way. Tim's mom, Becky is the BEST cook and always has food ready to serve. We also always stay up till 2 or 3 in the morning playing games. This year we played a game called Loaded Questions. I'm tellin' ya, if you are fan of games, then you will LOVE this game. We were laughing so hard we were crying..... it's fun. I can't forget to put in a good word for my other favorite game, Ticket to Ride. Have you heard of it? It's a great game!!! Hey let us all have a game night! Is anyone in?

~I can't forget to mention the lovely party we had at my mom and dad's house the weekend before Christmas. Thank you mom for all of the good food and gifts! Once again I forgot my camera, urgh.

MORE SNOWMEN

We had a HUGE storm today and when Tim got home from work he had to dig out our parking spot before he could park. I tried to do it earlier in the day, but I'm not a very good shoveler, plus it just snowed again over everything I had already shoveled. Being the nice guy Tim is, he decided to shovel our neighbors parking spot out too. The kids decided to go out and "help" him.

SNOW SNOW GO AWAY, COME AGAIN ANOTHER.....

WINTER!!!!

This is what we woke up to this morning! Blah!!! My pretty purple and orange pansies were covered in SNOW! I am so ready for, well, I would say SPRING, but it is already SPRING!!! I am just ready for it to be continuously warm! Good thing pansies are frost hardy!

CEDAR CITY

We love going to Cedar City to spend time with the Stubbs' clan. We always have so much fun in Cedar and hope to move back there someday. Addi and Hally just love their cousins. Thank you so much, Larry & Becky for always letting us stay in your home.
