Snow days!

Well, we've had a few snows already and I couldn't pass up an opportunity to take a few photos!

Enjoying a nice 4-Wheeler ride in the snow!


Emily is loving the taste of snow!


So is Garrett... he was eating right off the deck!

They were lovin' the time outside in the snow!

Hot coco after to warm up a bit!

And a little bit of coloring to wrap up our wonderful morning!

In the spirit of the up-coming Holiday season...ENJOY!

Please scroll to the bottom of the page and push the pause button to temporarily turn off the music!! Target had these commercials last  year, but unfortunately we haven't seen any ones this year yet. They were my FAVORITE! Most entertaining commercials in a long time, that's for sure!

Happy 4th Birthday, Garrett!!

We celebrated Garrett's 4th birthday on Saturday, November 5 with lots of family and friends! We had a TON of fun and I am pretty sure it is safe to say our children are very loved! We had a pirate theme for his party and he LOVED that. He is really enjoying Disney Channels new t.v. show called Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Captain Hook is his favorite! So we decided to make that his theme this year. I made a treasure chest cake and we had lots of decorating! He got lots of fun toys, including his very first BIKE! Yup, he loves that too! Garrett is such a joy to have and we love him more than anything! We couldn't have asked for a better little boy! 4 years old...I can't believe he is that old already! He will be starting preschool next year. (He wasn't 4 before Sept. 15 so  he had to wait another year). But I'm fine with that...an extra year with him at home, I'll take that any day!! He is learning and growing so fast so I am just going to cherish every moment I have at home with him, because I have a feeling that once school starts time will go by much too fast!! Please enjoy the pictures of his special day!!





The cake!
And again!

Our little Pirate!



Happy 4th Birthday, Garrett!!


Blowing out his candle!


His new ride!


He loves this bike!

Taking it for a spin outside!
