Warning!

I wanted to share this with you so that maybe this won't happen to anyone else.
I went over to Stacy's today, and parked in her driveway. It's a pretty steep, inclined driveway. The ice is starting to melt and get really slushy. I put my Suburban in park , and put on my emergency brake. I got out and walked around to the other side to get Noah and Addy out. All of a sudden, my truck was sliding backwards! I was able to throw Noah in the truck. I had no idea where Cameron was. My first reaction was to try to stop the truck. In the process, I've pulled a muscle in my arm. Thank God, Cameron was able to get away before it started moving, and I didn't slip and get run over. And, thank God there was no traffic coming because we rolled right out into the street (almost into the neighbors driveway). So, nobody got hurt. I was just really shook up. Please be VERY careful on this stuff. I think with everything melting, it's making some places even more slick!
BE CAREFUL!!!!

Day Two

BBBBBRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ivy hates the cold! She cried the whole time (5minutes) she was outside. I don't blame her, it hurts the face to be out there. Addy loved the cold. She threw a huge fit when I made her come inside. Her little cheeks are still red 5 hours later.
My brother, Sean, brought over his go cart for the kids to ride in the culdesac. Oh, my... did they have a BLAST! Cameron really loved driving. I can't wait to get ours running. We basically have a mini track right in front of our driveway.



I almost got run over a few times. I guess I need to teach Camo how to drive.


Becca had so much fun riding with her Daddy!

Well, I'm tired! It's been fun, but they better have school tomorrow!

Cold January Days

The boys had a ton of fun today riding the laundry basket down the driveway. We had just even sleet to cover the ice, where you can walk and not bust your rear. It's just too dang cold!

At least somebody enjoys this!

Addy is much to good for the cold. No, she just has a runny nose and I won't let her go outside. She had fun anyway inside, in the warm house, reading a good Curious George book. Who wouldn't, right?

The girl LOVES to read! Just like her Momma.

I even got a picture of the three of them together, which NEVER happens. I can't get Addy to sit anywhere long enough.

Well, I hope everyone is staying warm, and has their power still on. We are very thankful for our fireplace!

Our House

This is for Leigh and Way, who live so far away, and haven't seen our house! I've been trying to take pics of the inside, but my lens kind of hinders me. I might have to wait til I get more of a wide angle lens to get some of the inside.

I'm in process of taking the paint off the window panes. The people before us had it painted like stained glass. It was cute, but it wasn't staying. Wish I could show you more. My 50mm just isn't cutting it for this job :)


The kids really like it here. They definitely have more room.

We're enjoying playing outside on the nice days. We don't seem to be having to many of those lately. Just cold, inside days. Yesterday Noah asked if we could go swimming. Definitely not going swimming, Buddy!

Even Harley seems to be right at home!

On a random note... Addy is brushing her teeth! I didn't think she would ever get teeth. She did, and now she bites! Not just anybody. She seems to have a special taste for Noah because he's the only one she does it too.

Well, I hope this finds everyone doing well. We have been doing good ourselves. Just minor illness's...I'll take that over the serious stuff anytime.

Grandpa and Addy

I love this picture of my Grandpa and Addy!




And, this one of him holding her after she burnt her fingers.

We love you Grandpa!

I will have pictures of the house next week.
