Campout in the House

Chris and the boys camped out in the house on Friday night, they pigged out on treats and popcorn and watched movies.

Enough already!

Well, we've had snow pretty steady for the last week and it's piling up. We had 4 feet of snow on our roof ... luckily, school was cancelled on Thursday so Chris, Courtney and I climbed up on the roof and started shoveling. We shoveled for hours ... we were a little sore and tired afterwards, but it was nothing compared to the aches and pains we felt when we woke up this morning. OUCH! The snow is piled so high beside the house, we're going to try sledding off the roof tomorrow ... wish us luck!

Cub Scouts: Wolf Badge

Kai worked really hard and earned his Wolf Badge ... he also earned a gold arrow point and a silver arrow point. He was really excited - great job Kai!

the DOWNSIDE of SNOW

I guess the snow was just a little too heavy ... the poles buckled and caved in. Unfortunately, we parked the suburban beside the shed and it got a good ding. The poles were so twisted we had a hard time taking it all apart. Courtney and Tiffany helped us get it all cleaned up ... thanks girls!

the UPSIDE of SNOW

The snow storm that hit our area dropped so much snow, the boys could hardly wait to go out and play in it. I love the snow on the trees, it looks so pretty!

Quilts!

I took my first quilting class in July 2007 and it was a "Mystery Class". The Christmas quilt is from this class. I just finished the Fall quilt this week ... why I've only made seasonal quilts, I'm not sure, but it's still exciting to see the finished product. I think I'm hooked!

Sam's 6th Birthday!

Sam turned 6 on January 14th and got breakfast in bed ... crepes! He had a party with a couple of his friends; Bailey and Ayden. We pulled out all of our games that the kids rarely play ... bowling, chicken limbo, beans bags. They had lots of fun!
