:: lets blow this popsicle stand ::

Well folks--off I go!

It's going to snow, you say? Let it fly!
It's going to be bitter cold all week? Ain't no thang!

Why? Because I will be out of this bitter weather and will be sitting on a big boat, by the pool, drink in hand {virgin of course} soaking in the SUN!

Yay for me (and Krista) going on a cruise tomorrow!!! I cannot wait until we leave! It will be so much fun, and a much needed break from reality. Less than 10 hours, and counting down.



On the other hand, my cute kiddos will be going to Grandma and Grandpa's house for the week. I'm already thinking about how much I'm going to miss them. I let them fall asleep next to me in the living room so I could snuggle them just a little bit longer. I can't believe they'll be away from me for 5 nights! But Preslee has been counting down the days---so excited to sleep over at Gma and Gpa's house!! I'm glad they are excited about it, at least :D



So, farewell friends!! Until we meet again {on blogger, at least}..... try not to freeze :D

ch ch ch chia!

Ok, not exactly a "chia pet", but my kids were excited about their little "guys" anyway.....

Giving them a "haircut"

(this, of course, was during the week that the weather was actually nice and there wasn't snow on the ground)

...bowl-a-rama...

I took the kids bowling, for a new Saturday activity. They had so much fun! Preslee wanted to help Cash with every turn he had, and Cash decided he wanted to start bowling by pushing the ball down the ramp with his head! He's such a boy. The kids had a blast-and we'll be going again!

GO CASH!

ROLL PRES!!

Yes-Mommy has to brag :)

i scream: you scream: we all scream

FOR ICE CREAM!

[ one of these things is not like the others ]

Guess which one. :) My beautiful little girl was born with coal black hair, and lots of it! And those newborn blue eyes, that most babies are born with. We all thought "they'll change to brown... no way she'll have blue eyes" but as the months past, her eyes got bluer and bluer; and her hair got lighter and lighter. Who would have thought I'd have a blonde haired, blued eyed child?! And she couldn't get more gorgeous!
Then my little man was born. He had the same thing-blue eyes and coal black hair. It was anyone's guess what would happen with him, since Preslee's coloring seemed to come from left field... but he stayed true to his mommy's roots. Dark hair, and chocolatey eyes. Unbelievably handsome, he is!

I have the most beautiful kids. Don't try to deny. ;)
