Snow

You can't tell by the picture, but this was the morning we got our beautiful snow.  I wish I would've taken a picture of the outside.  I'm not sure who was more excited about it.  Me or the boys!

Teacher of the Year

My brother, William, was nominated for teacher of the year.  He was one of the 5 finalists!  Although he didn't win, it's an honor just to be nominated.  Especially since he's only been teaching here for a few years.  So, congrats on being a great teacher, and we're proud of you Uncle William!

(This was from Halloween...I need to take more pictures!)

13 Years!

Yesterday was our13th wedding anniversary!!!  I have to admit I'm not real excited about this one...I mean 13 isn't a very lucky number.  But it will only be a year, and we can move on to a better number, right?  So, I'm thankful for my wonderful hubby, and for my wonderful sister-in-law that introduced us.  I'm not sure what she saw in me that made her think I'd be perfect for her baby brother, but I'm glad she did!  I love you baby!

 

Happy Valentines Day!

Who needs diamonds, fancy dinners, or flowers when you've got boys like these?  

We opted for dinner at Amy's, cookie dough for dessert, and a pajama movie night.  I couldn't have asked for more!

Update

I know I haven't posted any pictures in a while, but to be honest I haven't been taking any.  Sorry!  Things have picked up pace after the holidays, and we're back in the groove of ball games and homework.  Ryan is playing basketball right now, and I LOVE watching him play.  I took the camera once, but he didn't want me taking pictures.  I'll try to get some at his next game, though.

We finally got Denny in to see a foot doctor yesterday.  She gave him a shot, foot brace, different meds, and then we'll go back in 4 weeks to see how its all working.  I dread dealing with workman's comp again, but it's worth it to get him feeling better!

Happy Birthday Dad!

All the grandkids celebrating their Grandpa Randy's birthday!

Happy New Year!

Well, I decided it may be time to start a tradition of Aaron & Ryan having friends over on New Year's Eve. It's the first year either of the boys have stayed up until midnight, and the first time I have in a very long time! They had nerf gun wars, played the wii, and watched a movie.  All but one stayed awake until midnight.  It was a lot of fun!
