Winter one week...Summer the next

One week ago today, I finally got what I wished for...SNOW! It was great! We got about 4 inches, the kids loved it and so did Joe and I. Vince and Morgan had the best time playing in it and eating it as well.

Joe helped Vince and Morgan make the snowman.

Joe made a much smaller snowman and all Morgan wanted to do was eat the snow and carrot they used for the nose.

Having fun in the snow.

After having temperatures in the mid-30's most the week and bundling up in our coats, hats and gloves, the end of the week ended on an upswing. The mid-70 degree weather melted all the snow and lead to shorts and t-shirts. It is amazing what a couple days can bring.

Adding a few new pics of Joe, Vince and Morgan.

And by the way, everyone is healthy this week. Keep your fingers crossed for next week...

















Having a snack.



















The kiddos get so excited to see Joe when he comes home from work.



















Not only is Morgan wearing one of Vince's sleepers but she is wearing a pair of Vince's Buzz Lightyear underwear. She took them out of his drawer and screamed until we put them on.

Music in the family

I took piano lessons for 10 years in my younger days in hopes that I would actually be able to play the piano. Well, decades later after all the lessons, I still can't play. I am sure my parents are real happy about it considering they paid for the lessons. Anyway, this is a look into the future in hopes that Vince and Morgan will learn to play an instrument.

That 's how many colds Vince has had since September. Morgan is on 8 and Joe and I are not far behind. I can't stand it anymore. I am sooooooo ready for the summer. He just got over having one last week and here it is again. I guess I should expect one for Morgan next week. I just want them to have a break already.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaa!!

Okay, I feel a little bit better.

I have a love/hate relationship with...

Winter. I love winter normally. I love wearing heavy clothes and playing in the snow (when it happens) but this year, all my children, Joe and I are enjoying are colds. I am not kidding, it seems like we have been sick all winter. Vince gets a cold, then Morgan, then me, then Joe. It is just this vicious cycle that never seems to stop. I really would take all the colds my children get if there was a way to do that. Vince just got over a cold and now Morgan and myself have it. I am sick of it, literally. For the first time ever, I say bring on Spring!

Great Day

A great day in our nations history yesterday! I was truly excited to watch President Obama's inauguration. I have never been more interested in watching an inauguration and listening to Mr. President speak. I pray for him and his family that they will stay safe and that he will lead this country back to greatness.

So much for the snow

So, my wish came true in that we got some snow (if that is what you call it). We were suppose to get anywhere from 2-5 inches, well that didn't happen. We got a mere dusting of it, as you can see from the pictures. Christi, my sister, lives all of 15 miles east of us and they got 2 inches. I am happy for them but GRRRR! Why didn't we? We still took Vince and Morgan outside and enjoyed what little we had.
