Happy Valentines...

baby boy!!! We "wuff" you!!!

Thanks to friends...

on the way home from Grandpa & Grandma's, Mk says I wish that when we got home dad had a flower for each of us on our beds.  I said, what made you think of that?  She said that her friend, Callie's dad had done that for them and I guess that really impressed Mk.  Secretly, I call R and tell him how funny that was.  He had already gotten them new boots for Valentine's, because they have worn, and worn, and worn the one's they had.  So he went to Safeway and got a wrapped rose for each of the girls and had the rose and their boots on their beds for when we got home.  He is always so thoughtful for holidays...really thinks about it!

When we get home, we tell the girls to go get their pj's on and low-and-behold there is a Valentine prize on each of their beds.  He had to work on Sunday, so he did it Saturday night.  What was the prize...boots and a rose.  Mk was gitty as she came out, K & Ry also were excited, but B, with her flower in tow, on the other hand says to me, "Mom, I like my new boots, but you can have my flower, because I'm not much into flowers," as she hands it to me.

She is one of a kind and tells what's on her mind.  Actually, I wished that I could say what I thought sometimes...

Happy Valentine's Day...

to all of us!  I decided that we would go over to my parents' house to see them and give them a little treat.  We had a great time!  The kids always ask to go to the brown store (my nephew, Carson came up with that which stands for the convenience store) to get a treat.  Grandpa informs the girls that the real brown store is going out of business so we will have to go into town and get a treat.  We went to Dollar Tree (wished we had one of those in my town) and the girls chose whatever they wanted...much to our dismay...Ry chose a candy spray bottle (it happened to be the best candy bought).  They all took turns spraying it in each other's mouths...great!!!  We then went back to my parents' house and decided that we should go into Taco Bell, so back into town we went.  We had fun visiting them for the day...wish we saw them more often!

Super Storm...

2010! Well we got the biggest storm in Arizona that one of the meteorologists had seen in 35 years. Thursday, we got a total of about 4-6 inches, then it rained and melted it off, then came the hammer! We got about 10-12 inches, Thursday night. This week we had MLK day, 2-hour delay, 2-hour delay, no-school...wow what a week!

The girls had been waiting to build a snowman, so finally we went out and built one. We kinda cheated and packed buckets to build our rounds, used rocks for the eyes, ears, & buttons, celery for the arms, and a nice baby carrot for the nose, and one of dad's camo hats for the magical hat. Isn't she cute?? Then we came in for some toasty hot chocolate.

As we were building our snowman, it started sleeting with a breeze and I told R this is why I don't ski, because when I went this is what it did, so that's what I associate with skiing. He said that we will have to go on a good day to change by outlook. I am kind of excited for the adventure!

Here is a picture of our gangsta-snowman, gangsta-dad, and gangsta-sisters! Thanks for the fun girls!!!

Ha-ha's first...

piggy-tails!!! She wasn't real happy to have them, but happy day...two curly, little, piggies!
