Oh Monday

Happy Valentine's Day!

SNOW DAY!!

Well, thanks to the wintry mix around here, we woke up this morning to no power in the house. So we bundled up and headed to the in-laws to watch movies all day on their giant TV from the comfort of their new recliners :) We're lucky they just live around the corner!

(isn't he cute in his hat and scarf... I think so)

We saw this snowman on the way.

Complete with hula skirt & coconut bra.

My rain-boots sure came in handy.

It may be cold and wet outside, but my toes have been toasty and dry!

Also, lucky for us these little cuties were in town for the weekend.

Ty made a beard of Floam.

The younger two wouldn't stop long enough for a picture.

It was so cute to watch Lainey follow Bryce around and copy whatever he was doing

Even when the activity of choice was throwing a floam ball at her head!

Silly kids :)

Around Here

Here's what's been going on this past week! I've been too busy with work to post everyday, but as today was a snow day I had a little extra time.

Last weekend our twin nieces came in for a visit. Kinley & Ansley, you are so sweet and it's fun to watch you grow! I can't believe they are almost one.

Shopping with the sister-in-laws & mother-in-law (Betty wouldn't get in the picture), always a good time :) I'm blessed to have family that I enjoy and love so much on both sides.

And this is what I've been reading this week. Contemplating making something special for Valentines... not sure if I can. I need a lot of practice. Anyone hungry?

These pretties were from my sweet husband! When he brought them home earlier this week they were all closed up and green, but yesterday they decided to bloom. Hopefully they will last a little while- they brighten up my kitchen so much!

And finally . . . snow! Oh it's beautiful in the trees- I love it!

And that's been our week! Now we're looking forward to a great weekend with friends and family!

The view lately

We have had a lot of these this week:

It has been quite chilly... at least for Texas, my friends in Germany might have a different idea of "chilly"!

This has been the other view around here lately:

Since we've been spending our evenings inside, hunkered down due to the recent sickness and chilliness, we have been going back through all the old seasons of LOST to get caught up and ready for the 6th and final season that starts tonight!! Randall figured out how to hook up our computer to our TV so we can watch our favorite reruns from hulu.com on the bigger screen. We are going to go watch the season premiere with our friends the Densons who are also big fans- I'm excited! Any other LOST fans out there excited for tonight!?
