Baking Helpers!

Last night as dinner was ending and I started to clean up plates, I showed the kids a box of Brownie mix and they started cheering (they are just like their Dadoo!). So, the kids finished up dinner, then ran upstairs to get their "baker outfits"!

Mmmmm....licking the beaters is our favorite part! (Dadoo gets the bowl)

Playing in the snow!

Here are some random pictures of various snow outings:

Treyson being silly! Love, love, love his laughing face!

Flying high with Dadoo!

Tasting the snow.....yum!

Getting ready to go on a piggy back ride with Mommy:

Of, course Anniston wanted to do the same thing!

They started out making snow angels, but it quickly turned into burying themselves in the snow!

What it looked like the first time Jerry opened up the garage door!

Jerry snow-blowing the car!

There are tons and tons of pictures that we've got from the snow. MaMa (Amy's mom) suggested we make books for both of the kids with pics from all of the snow. They keep saying this is one for the record books. I think that might be a great idea!

February 9 Snow Day

We went to bed last night knowing that it was supposed to start snowing at midnight. However, we went to bed and didn't think much beyond that. We woke up at 6 AM so that I could cancel work for my office, and decided to go ahead and get a measurement.....

The kids' playground in the back yard! You can see the tip of the picnic table!

The light outside our back porch stairs (the stairs are long gone!)

Back fence over half covered!

19 inches before noon!

The things Mommy will do for a cute photo op! HA!

Our mailbox is half covered!

Poor little fire hydrant!

Dadoo's car is cracking me up!

We ventured out with the kids.

So much fun!

Treyson struggled due to him being slightly taller than the snow!

Dadoo had to dig tunnels for us to walk through! (actually the tunnels were dug out to try and retrieve Mommy's flip video that fell out of her pocket while she was challenged to run through the snow! And of course, Mommy's flip video is ALL WHITE! HA!---Thank you Dadoo....you're the best!)

Anniston decided to be silly and go down her slide!

This is so much fun! (as her teeth chatter, and her nose and cheeks get bright red!)

We now have over 21 inches. It has officially stopped snowing. We'll take one more measurement for the books and report back!

Think Spring!

So, 2 weeks ago we had a beautiful spring day smack in the middle of winter! It was 70 degrees outside and GORGEOUS! We charged up the Gator, grilled out, and tried to soak up every morsel of sun!

Treyson even thought he should go ahead and cut the grass since it was so nice!

Anniston took a spin on her new scooter she got for Christmas from KiKi, Will, Uncle Mark, and Aunt Tracey!

If they ever figure these scooters out, it could be TROUBLE!

Please come back spring! We miss you!!

Ice Skating with Nanny!

For Dadoo's birthday we took Nanny ice skating?? Actually we did! Nanny and PawPaw R were coming up here to celebrate Dadoo's birthday, so we decided to ice skate before dinner. Our Nanny LOVES to ice skate (or at least imagine herself ice skating), so we knew she would love this! The kids were so excited to surprise her! Treyson and PawPaw R hanging out watching everybody skate. Treyson is the type that skates a lap, rests a lap, skates a lap, etc.

Woo hoo! Way to go Nanny!
