Snow everywhere!

This has just been the craziest winter. We are getting 10 years worth of snow in 2 months. We have missed 6 days of school because of the winter weather and they are calling for more. 2 weeks ago today came the heaviest snow storm yet. At 11:30 that morning we had 2 1/2 inches and at 3:30 we had 5. I believe total we had 8 inches with a layer of ice. We were one of the worst counties hit but fortunately we didn't lose power. To give you an idea had bad the storm was, a friend left work at 11 am and didn't make it home until 4:15pm. That is normally a 1 hour drive. Let's just say people were literally snowed in. Emma was still recovering from sickness so she didn't care much for being in the snow. She had ten layers of clothes on to only be outside less than 5 minutes. It was absolutely beautiful though. Here are a few shots.

busy january

Sorry it has taken so long to get the blogs going again. January was an incredibly busy month. We had at least 2 birthday parties every weekend. Here are a few shots from some of them. One was my niece's 8th birthday which I find so hard to believe. I keep looking back at the pictures from the hospital when she was born and it is incredible at how much she has grown and changing. Emma had a blast chasing after Katie and her friends as well as Bre. The girls even talked Uncle Bryan into playing twister :P. The other party was for one of my best friend's little boy. He turned 3. They rented a bounce house and blow up slide for the kids to play on. Emma wouldn't have anything to do with it this time but we now know why. She had RSV and a double ear infection. Honestly, I think the adults had more fun on the slides. January is also my birthday month, the weather was so horrible that we didn't do very much which is ok with me. We had dinner at Red Robin and did a little shopping on that Saturday and then on Sunday we went down for church and mexican with my parents. Hopefully sometime in Feb or even March I will get my hot fudge cake from my mom. Bryan and Emma got me the greatest cards and yes I cried reading them. I also received a book from one of my favorite authors, a gift card to purchase the new Lady Antebellum cd and tickets to their concert in Nashville in March. Yay! We have tons a video to post for you of Emma but until Bryan sits down and fixes it we can't post. It looks like we may be getting more snow this weekend so maybe we will have time to work on it.
