Yes, It's that cold!

Yeah, you could go ice skating on our pond. Tim was the crazy one to test it out. It made me nervous, but he insisted! It was 9 degrees (Farenheit) this morning, which is a bit abnormal for us. I think our heater is in shock!

I know how this looks...

It looks like we've all been drinking, but all we were drinking was Mt Dew and Tea. Our New Year's Eve began with the 1st annual NYE Wii Bowling Tournament. There was even a trophy to be won! After 3 hours of play, Tim came away with the victory! It's not just ANY trophy...It's an add-something-to-it-and-bring-it-back-next-year trophy. You'll notice the mini bowling ball on the base of it. I looked for the ugliest thing I could find to be the trophy and I think I succeeded. Now we will proudly display it on our shelf until next year.

Following the tournament, we played a new game called Quelf. This is no game for the shy and easily embarrassed! This game makes you do crazy, goofy, off-the-wall things or pay a penalty. Silly things like "put ice down your pants until your next turn", "mummify yourself until someone rolls a 4", "dance with the player to your left until the timer runs out"....Good times!

Merry Christmas..

Wow! It's been 2 months since my last post. I'm not very good with keeping up these days. I also procrastinated on making Christmas cards, so don't be surprised if some of you get a card after Christmas actually occurs. Here's a preview...

Halloween...

Pics of my little kitty and cow...

My gangstacow...HA

She looks fierce!

Elli's big day!!

Elli's 1st birthday party was today. It was a really packed day. We started off by going to Chuck E Cheese's which was a lot of fun. Bailee had her best friend come spend the day with her. It was very fun to watch them play together because they act like they're so much older than 4. Elli wasn't quite sure what to think of the cake, but she got the hang of it. She was REALLY mad (as you can see from the picture) that we stripped her of her clothes, but once she figured out that this thing in front of her was sweet and yummy, she quickly got over that. Thanks to all who came to the party. I can't believe my baby is 1!!! TEAR...

Almost 1 year....(sigh)

I can't believe that Elli is almost a year old! I may be a bit partial, but these are some cute kids!!!

SURPRISE!!!!

Priceless!

My sweet, darling husband threw me a VERY SURPRISING birthday party...As you can see by the look on my face I REALLY was surprised!

I'm always telling Tim that he can't keep a secret...this time he did. The party was complete with Transformer hats (look closely at Elli's hat), an egg toss, water balloon shaving and ice cream cake! What a wonderful husband! I love you!
