March=Blizzard?

Only in Amarillo are you going to go from having temperatures in the upper 60's one day then the next day a blizzard then back into the 50's & 60's. We made it through the blizzard of 2009 without a problem! The girls LOVED watching the snow yesterday. Johnathan had to go to work yesterday so we decided to wait & play in it today. They had a blast outside! They rode down a hill Johnathan made, played on the trampoline, & then went through a tunnel he made. The snow went up to the girls' waist in some areas of our backyard. Can you believe it? We wanted to make a snow man but the snow isn't wet enough. Maybe tomorrow. After we were done playing in the snow we came in & had the girls take a bath. The reason I am telling you that is because as we were draining the bathtub, the water didn't go down the drain. Looks like we will be having Roto Rooter over to our house in a couple of hours to fix that little problem. Oh well, at least we have heat & electricity. Enjoy these sweet pictures!

Happy Birthday, Pops!

We hope you had a Happy Birthday, Pops! We love you!

Mom, why aren't the trees blowing?

This story is way too cute not to share.
Yesterday was a BEAUTIFUL Panhandle day; no wind & in the 70's. Absolutely PERFECT!!! For those who don't know, I would say that the average wind speed here is about 15+ mph & that happens about 5 out of 7 days & at least 2 days out of the week the wind will peak around 40+. Anyways, we had to go downtown to see my dad at his office & on the way there the girls were looking out the window. All of a sudden Bailey asks "Mom, why aren't the trees blowing?" We explained to the girls that when it's not windy the trees stay still & when it's windy the trees blow.
Only in the Panhadle of Texas is a 3 1/2 year old going to ask why the trees aren't blowing.
Sad isn't it?!

Welcome Home "Rha-Rha" & Jody!

My sister & brother-in-law came home on Saturday from their 11 day trip to Israel. We were so happy to have them home! Here are a few pictures of Mia & Eisley (my nieces) welcoming their parents home at the airport. They were just too sweet not to share!

Cupcakes?

Mia (my niece) said that she wanted to make cupcakes for her mom & dad when they got home from their trip. So last Friday we packed up & went over to my mom & dad's house to make cupcakes with her. The girls had so much fun! These cupcakes may not look that pretty but I can assure you they were edible!!! Enjoy!

Art Time!

Last Thursday we decided to make some welcome home signs for my sister & brother-in-law who had been in Israel for 11 days & were coming home on Saturday. So to pass the time, we decided on this little art project for the girls & they loved it! Enjoy!

Isn't Eisley the sweetest thing ever?!

The GARAGE!!!!!!!

I had been getting on to Johnathan for what seemed like months that he needed to clean & organize the garage. We finally decided two weeks ago to start cleaning stuff out. It took us probably close to 10 hours to get everything down & looked through. WHAT A HEADACHE!! How is it that in the 7 years we have been married we could have collected so much stuff? It was RIDICULOUS! After a 6 hour gargage sale Saturday we were able to get our garage back in order. Our goal: "NO MORE JUNK!" Here are the before & after pictures.

My Sweet Nieces!

My sister & her husband left on Tuesday to go to Israel for 11 days & left my 2 nieces with my parents. They have gotten to talk to their girls a couple times on the computer but I thought I would post a few sweet pictures of the two of them just in case Sarah is able to check the blog. We hope you guys are having a good time!! We miss you & can't wait to see you!
