Birthday Weekend

We had a busy weekend celebrating birthdays. It was Marks Birthday last week, us girls this week , Dad's (Tony) next week along with Addison's and Allie's. What a crowd to celebrate for. We had a ballgame and potluck with family and friends. You can see more photos on Tony and Becky's link, being I was a poor picture taker.

Cookie

You Are a Smiley Face Cookie

You're happy go lucky. So happy, in fact, it's a little past the point of normal sanity. You usually make those around you smile ... when you're not creeping them out!

What Kind of Cookie Are You?

Cowgirl

Elizabeth learned about cowboys and cowgirls this week at school and on Friday they dressed up. She was quite facinated with it. She had lots of questions. Are there still cowboys? Do they only live in Texas? Are Caroline and Kayleen a cowgirl? Now we want our own boots so we can dress like a cowgirl.

Chickenpox

She has the chickenpox. Alexandria had her MMR and Chickenpox vaccine a week ago and now we have the chickenpox. I am not sure of the vaccine now. It is all over her. Nights haven't been so fun, I guess it itches pretty bad.

This makes me smile....

Every morning

and this makes me smile every evening!!

wow . I am tired from the day. Meals, school, laundry, beds to be made, toys to clean up, dishwasher to be done, extra sport activities to go to and the list can go on some days. And I love to sit down at the end of the day and read , well I just enjoy sitting in a quiet house. The Day is done.

Snowman

Well , we had another snow day yesterday. It was Will's party and it made the excitement a little more intense. It was fun. However, I forgot my camera so you can see that event on Mark and Lauren's link. We got home and at just before dark Elizabeth wanted to go out and build a snowman before it melted. She learned her lesson from the last snow. She got up the next morning on the last snow and was upset to see she couldn't build a snowman because it was melted. Alexandria is looking out the front door watching her sister play wishing she could go. I will not be able to get by with not taking her out before to long. For some reason it is not as exciting to be out in the wet cold snow anymore to me like it was when I was a kid. I was looking for my gloves and I don't even have any. Elizabeth had to use her dad's . But we were thankful for some snow boots sent to us from Ellie and Ava.

Let it Snow !!! Let it Snow!!!

Can you see the snow? I had to take the picture while it was snowing because by morning we may only have ice and then that will be gone by noon. So Elizabeth thinks that this is the snow storm of all times. She said it was "unbelievable, incredible, wonderful and amazing" This is the first she has ever seen that she remembers.
