7" of Snow!!!

Snow days can be stressful with Jeremy's business, but this past week we got just enough snow to keep the trucks off the road for the day, which meant a day of fun for us!!!...and paying for that day off for the rest of the week. :)

For your listening and viewing pleasure!

After Grandaddy left, we decided to have a little dance party...

Enjoy the videos while you can, because I can't subject Jeremy to this embarrassment for too long.

Jeremy bought me this keyboard for my birthday back when we were just dating. From Aidan and I dancing around it to christmas carrolls to the kids prancing around the house with the volume as high as it will go, I would have never imagined that that silly birthday present would have provided me with such wonderful memories.

Ladies...Eat your heart out

I like Jeremy's stance during his recital...as if a tornado is going to blow him away any second now.

Grandaddy came over for dinner!

We enjoyed some dining room basketball and red beans & rice with Grandaddy tonight.
We don't get to see Grandaddy too often, so we always have lots of fun when he comes over.


You'll notice that Rudy's shirt is on backwards...that is because he insists on being able to see the basketball that should be on the back.

Boy's First Sleepover!!!

We had Little Robbie over this weekend to spend the night and the kids had a blast...except for when I told them that if they jumped on Robbie's bed it would pop...Robbie then came down (almost in tears) and said that Rudy had jumped on his bed and that he didn't want to sleep near Rudy because his bed would pop. He's so sweet!

The weather was beautiful, so we spent most of our time outside riding bikes, tractors, 4-wheelers. Now it's the kids' turn to go spend the night at Robbie's house. We shall see. It'll be harder on Mom and Dad to let them go for a night than it is on the kids.

Move over Big Robbie....Little Robbie has a new hero!!! The kids thought Jeremy was the coolest guy around when he was doing wheelies on my purple, ladies mountain bike.

WOW!!! Is there anything Jeremy can't do?!?!?!?!

I better watch out...all the ladies in the neighborhood are gonna be after

my man after seeing those sweet skills.

Robbie wanted to show off a trick for the camera. He said "LOOK!!! I can ride in the grass!!!"

Aaawwww! Best Friends!

Happy 3rd Birthday, Rudy!!!

We have been celebrating Rudy's 3rd birthday for almost a month now, and he still hasn't had his birthday party!

Please excuse the spaghetti face...

On his birthday, January 6th, we went out to dinner at the Bass Pro Shop in Richmond. It was fantastic and I would (and do) recommend it to everyone!!! There is a huge salt water fish tank in the restaurant, which kept the kids' attention really nicely. There was one black fish that swims the length of the tank non-stop, so the waitress told us that they nicknamed him "Phelps". :)

Rudy was terrified of this bear...

Jacob wasn't exactly thrilled that I made him stand next to it so I could take his picture.

The store has a laser hunting area thing...again, kids (and adults) LOVED it!

LOVE it when Rudy walks around with his hands in his pockets. :)

Today we gave Rudy his big present. Needless to say, he's thrilled with it. His reaction when he first saw it is priceless (see video below). He rode it around outside until his little hands were frozen and then came inside and told me, "I like my tractor."

Stay tuned for pictures from Rudy's pool party in a couple weeks....
