Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow

Friday, we were, I guess, us southerners would say, blessed with SNOW!! The kids didn't get out of school not to any surprise. That would have been considered allowing them to have fun -- I think! Anyway, Lane did manage to greet me at the door with one last snowball before it melted! Noah enjoyed a few minutes of it himself!

Repeat after me.....

The other day Matthew and his friend Dylan Turner were riding down the rode on their way to ball practice having a very "intellectual" conversation. David, Dylan's dad, said it went something like this:

Dylan: "My dad won't buy us a trampoline!"
Matthew: "That's okay, you just gotta ask Santa Claus for one and he will buy one for you. This is what you gotta say... Dylan, repeat after me, come on, say it, 'Dear.....Santa.......for....christmas...i....want.......a......tramp...oooooo....lene!'
Good now Santa's gonna get you one!"

Dylan did what Matthew said and I think almost caused poor Mr. David to have a wreck through laughter and tears! But hopefully Santa was listening this year!!

Aren't kids GREAT!!!

WAY to COOL!!

My Aunt sent me this video. I know you will all enjoy it! I hope it will touch each of you in a special way today! Don't keep it only for yourself, share it with others as well. God bless each and everyone of you!

Finally, I am back!!!

On our trip, we did lots of ..........

EATING!

RELAXING!

LAUGHING and SITE SEEING

SHOPPING

We had a WONDERFUL time on our vacation!! It couldn't have been more relaxing! We flew to Miami and then boarded the ship and set sail for Cozumel and the Cayman Islands!! Boy, was it fun --- and RELAXING!! My poor mother managed to hold our world (our kids) together while we were gone. She is the one who needs the cruise now. We left her cleaning up throw up and administering tylenol for Lane, Dispensing benydryl for Noah's head to tow rash, and taming Matthew's melt downs from being he was having from being homesick for his parents!! And if that wasn't enough, Gram fell and broke her hip and arm , so she had to come to her rescue as well!! I honestly don't know what I would do without her! Thanks mom for stepping up to plate so we could relax ALL have a wonderful time.

Bare with me!!!

Sorry folks for the long delay in updating -- I will try to not gripe about any of you others not getting around often enough to update your blogs as well. Things have been rather busy lately and well, I have misplaced my camera with the cruise pics on it. When it turns up, I will get back on track ASAP!!

Love to you all!!!!

Who's been eating chocolate???

FINALLY!!

After 8 loooong years, Lane is very proud of himself for becoming a "snaggle tooth" today!!
