Maizy gets a snow day



Sure we have had flurries this winter but this was Maizys first real time playing in the snow!! Once she got over her fear of walking off the deck she hit the snow a million miles an hour!! Running as fast as she could in big old circles!! And of course tasting it all on her way!!

The white dress

So there has been lots of talk of late about the White dress... Amanda had her first real fitting this weekend... Seems the dress is alittle too big because the seamstress really had to use alot of pins to take it in... Which is a good thing.. means all that dieting wasn't for nothing.. And she got to see her dress with "the shoes"... who knew finding shoes would be just as hard as finding the dress...

Since I can't show you her dress I thought I would give you a peak of another white dress.... Leelas-- Just as fancy and so darn cute....

Hi Dad!

So my Dad mentioned that according to my blog Hell had frozen over.... yea I guess I have been alittle slack at updating.. but beleive me its not because I haven't been busy!!! So for now... I just drop this little note that I am here... I am alive and yes I am counting down the days until spring-- because I am tired of boots, fleece and gloves....

Hell has frozen over.

So I found out today that one of favorite magazines is going under. Simple Scrapbooks is yet another tragedy in our struggling economy.. Subscription base isn't enough when advertising just isn't out there. Its a shame.. and to be honest its just another indicator how bad it is out there in the real world. The radio station I listen to announce less commercials this week... not to be nice to us but because they can't sell the radio slots... its a shame ....

Did I mention how freaking cold it is out there??? so cold that you feel like your fingertips will just fall off if you forget your gloves...
Yea its inauguration week here in the nations capitol... and yes Virginia-- Hell has frozen over... See what happens when you vote someone in who doesn't deserve to be our president... we all suffer... Hope he has little hand warmers in his mittens or he won't have fingers to sign off on all his promises---

Mike has the priviledge of being "essential personnel" this weekend that treat allows him to work all day Saturday and then stay Monday -Tuesday... sleeping in a chair to ensure communications are A-OK for the "event"-- me I will use my time to finish up wedding details...
I think we are almost done and can sit back and enjoy.... if only the darn stamps would come in for the invites....

Weekend update

So while you were recovering from New Years Eve, we did infact start tiling the basement floor. And have spent the greater part of the weekend finishing it up. Messy, Dusty and down right inconvenient. But it does look better, and it is forcing us to once again down size the amount of junk we store down there. Hopefully when all is said and down we will have a laundry area that you might actually want to work in....
The remainder of the weekend was spent "playing wedding" Amanda came over yesterday and we worked on invitations and centerpiece decorations. We even got the boys to help--Matthew folded placecards and Corey jumped in to pull stars off the flower girl basket.... The more hands the merrier!

Happy New Years!

Enjoyed a wonderful New Years Eve with Mike-- We drove a quick 6 miles to a customer/friends house and rung in the new year... and as the trend seems to be now... there were probably just as many dogs invited as people!.. poor Maizy got left at home and was full of puppy energy when we drug ourselves home at 2:30am... needless to say no one got alot of sleep last night.

Today Mike is on a mission to start the new year out working.... he has these great plans of tiling the basement floor... why? not sure but I am sure it will require my "help". Maybe this will make doing laundry that much more enjoyable???

Happiest of New Years to you!
