Snow (ugh)

We woke up to a skiff of snow on the ground this morning - Quiana is all ready to go sledding and to make angels . . . does anyone want to join her? Hopefully we have a few more weeks until we can actually "play" in the snow. Right now, I think we had better focus on getting some firewood cut!

Cute Kids

and Yes, I think so!



How Trapper really feels about pictures.

I think they're going to escape - no more pictures!


Trapper did just fine with his surgery today and we are glad to have it over with. He is pretty mellow this afternoon, but that is actually a little nice for a change.

Nervous

Trapper is scheduled for a minor operation in the morning . . . mommy & daddy are of course a little nervous - wish us luck!

SHOES!

Quiana LOVES shoes - we went on a little shopping trip Tuesday and came home with 3 pairs - her favorite pair is pictured above. She is so disappointed with my collection, she goes through them and asks "Mommy, why don't you have shoes like Lynae's?" Well, there are lots of reasons
1. I have never really been a shoe person (I like shoes but I guess I just can't justify having one pair for every outfit)
2. I have kids and I know I can't carry & chase them in many of the shoes that are so fashionable (I know some of you Mommy's can & I'm jealous)
3. My husband thinks my shoe collection is already bad enough ;-)

However, I did notice that last night during the V.P. debate - Sarah Palin had on a pair of RED HIGH HEELS with her otherwise conservative black outfit. I was impressed and am now wondering. . . Do red high heels really make you feel more powerful & confident?

So I took a look at my collection - I have 19 pairs and that includes flip flops and winter boots. I was actually surprised at the number since I know that compared to many of you ladies out there, that doesn't come close. The sad thing . . . there isn't one pair of red high heels.

Hope all you ladies out there have a great weekend! Maybe I'll have to get Quiana to help me make a shoe purchase. In the meantime, I'm curious as to who of all my blog readers has the most shoes, lets see if we can find out.

He's Here!

Congratulations to Logan & Elissa! We're so happy to have another little boy in the family.

Looking forward to seeing pictures of the little cutie.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSH!

Josh turned 30 today . . . does that mean I have an "old" husband now? He definitely hasn't changed because he worked all day. Here are a few pictures of the day - Quiana went to work with him and it looks like the girls got into a little mischief.
