Finally a little snow!!!

We woke up to snow!  My kids couldn't have been more excited.  They hurried and got ready to go sleigh riding before it all melted. I know it doesn't look like a lot of snow, but we are not picky around here.  Blakley LOVES "ridin down da big hill."  

After they were done sledding, the three of them got in a big bubble bath. Afterwards, Carter asked if he could pick out Blakley's clothes for her to wear.  He really wanted them to wear matching clothes. So Boxers and a T-shirt it was.  WOWZERS!  Looks like I have a great embarrassing picture to show her future boyfriend!

Happy Birthday Grandma!

Today, is my Grandma Bev's birthday!  She would have been 84 years old.  She passed away almost 3 years ago.  I miss her oh so much!  We wanted her to know that we were thinking about her today and remembered that it was her special day.  So we picked up some pink balloons (her FAVORITE color) and sent them up to her in Heaven!  My kids are sure that she got them!

Blakley was giggling  when she let the balloons go.

"Happy Birfday Grandma Beb!"
