Again???

What is it about a box of cereal that screams, "dump me out and step all over me repeatedly"?

Something like that!

Brooke- "Tyler, I have a big job for you. I need you to put on your shoes and coat and put a card in Stephanie's mailbox and Patty's mailbox."

Tyler- "WOW, Mom! That's a big responsilation."

Where's Ryder?

My kids were playing outside in the backyard, and when I went outside to tell them it was time to come in the house, Ryder ran into some bushes and hid behind a power box thing. I was laughing so hard. He was seriously trying to hide from me so he wouldn't have to come in. It's so scary kids do this at age 1!

Mild KY Winters

When I moved to KY almost 7 years ago my Father-in-law was bragging about the mild KY winters.  That winter we had one of the worst ice storms Lexington has had, so we like to tease him about the mild KY winters.  Last week we had another ice storm.  You may have seen it on the news.  The good news is this one was not as bad as the first one we went through.  We were very fortunate to keep power the entire time and only had a little damage cause by trees falling down in the back yard. Here are some pictures of our mild winter.

Brooke's Pre-Birthday Birthday Party

We celebrated Brooke's birthday tonight with her family since her favorite sister Lacey was in town.  Her real birthday is on Friday so I will wait and brag about how awesome she is on Friday.  I love her more than anything and think she is pretty cool.  Here are some pictures from the night.
