Happy Valentine's 2014

 Daddy Sent us some beautiful flowers while in Paris-Thanks Honey!!!!!!

 Just having some fun with their "sweethearts", Grandma and Papa out enjoying the sunshine getting some pogo-stick exercise! :-)

 Wow! Have to work on that form, Dad! :-)  Nice try though............

 Wow! That is pretty good, Jan-didn't know you had such good balance!

Anyone for hola-hooping?!

The real pro is Hailey-she can jump for 10min. on that thing! It was fun to see Gma and Papa for Valentine's day before the trip down to Florida.  xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo!

Winter in TN-and more Snowmen!

 Building a snowman on the cement has it's advantages-don't know what those are exactly, but OK.

 The Snowman is now complete-I love the arms, made from the herb bushes out front. :-0

Look!-we can make a snowman out of 1/4in. of snow on the ground........resourceful.  They really love snow, and hope for one more big bucket full from up north before it turns warm.  It is, after all, almost Valentine's Day! February can be cold, or warm, you never know.  We shall see! 

Merry Merry New Year!

It was a good Christmas and New Year, spent half in Nashville and half in Illinois with family.  We are so blessed to have good health, and good family.  God bless us all in 2014!

Christmas Program 2013-Trouble on CandyCane Lane.

 Cookie hanging from the towel rack; the girls in costume from going to the Christmas Program.

 Hailey was an Elf, and did great saying her lines.

The music was very good, and all the actors were very professional; even their costumes were hand-made(not by me :-0) & sewn by the librarian! I was impressed with the Benny Bills music program, everyone did great!

Where is Cookie????

Cookie is getting brave. He was sitting in Emily's room, and that can be a bit un-predictable-since Emily tends to wake up a lot in the middle of the night-he has to be very sneaky. Stay tuned for the next spot....

More Hello Kitty birthday for Emily!

I had these really fun pictures from Emmy's bday party at the movie theatres, including the Hello Kitty cake.  The movie Frozen was seen at the bday party, and it was very good.  A bit scary w/ the snow monster at the castle, but other than that, the snowman Olof made the movie-cute!

Happy 5th Birthday Emily!!

 We made a Hello Kitty Ginger Bread house to decorate the table!!  It's all about Hello Kitty.

 Hello Kitty Bouncy Ball.

Grandma Jan made beautiful pillows; one for the Tooth Fairy and one to snuggle on! Thanks Grandma! Xoxo!
