School's Out for "SNOW", not Summer!

 Winter Storm Octavia has pretty much ruined any travel plans for people in Sumner County-the girls are thrilled they have no school for the rest of the week!  Yep, that's how we roll here, no plows, no roads, no school.  There was significant amounts of ice that covered everything, and then more snow on top of it.  SO, that means we make it a party outside in the snow and ice!!!!!!

Enjoying some icicles off the front porch stoop.  It's going to be a long week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet Valentine's~2015

 Hailey's Beagle Valentine Box for School-she got lots of "dog-on" Valentines........

 We were preparing for Winter storm "octavia" to hit; fast-forward to today: only sleet hit, and some snow showers expected- 1-3inches! Whew! Schools are out for the rest of the week! 

Will try and get updated pictures of the "storm of the decade" according to the weather guess-ers on the news!!!!!!!!!

A little bit of snow~a lot a bit of fun..............

 This snowfall happened a few days ago, it was early at 7:30a.m. they were out; by 12p.m. it was all gone, no signs of snow anywhere! 

 The girls really make the best of the snow we get in TN; we are waiting for the next "blizzard" tomorrow night- expecting 1in.!!!!  I can guarantee there will be a snowman in the backyard.

~Welcome~ Baby Kayla Elizabeth Knary 1/19/15!

 Sarah, Konrad, Kinsey, and Kayla Elizabeth-Hello baby! 8lbs. 20.5in.

I think she is happy to see everyone=at least she is smilling at the camera.

Now that's a genuine happy big sister smile!!!!!!  Have fun, Kinsey!!!!!

Merry Christmas/Happy New Year 2015!

It has been so busy this past month, starting at the beginning of December with Emily's Frozen birthday party, middle of the month school Christmas musicals, and then the BIG day with Santa, and Elf on the Shelf saying Goodbye! And then there was New Year's to celebrate with grandmas/grandpas, cousins and aunts/uncles, well let's just say it's a blur at this point, but I have pictures to prove it all happened!

 We had a pretty blue and white lit Christmas tree, and we made LOTS of sugar cookies w/ frosting.

 Emily had fun at her school musical, sharing a sweet hug with her kindergarten teacher.

Hailey was Bat-woman in one of her school Christmas plays! It was "super"-special!!!

Here we are at Aunt Kristin's house, taking a sibling photo on the back deck-smile everyone!

It was warm enough for a "quick" playdate on the trampoline-Emily, Jacob and Nathan just couldn't get enough jumping!!!!!

 Snapshots of Papa and Grandma Jan's house, enjoying some play time together.

 I finally got to meet the newest addition to the family, little Will!  He is soo cute and "quiet"!!! That is something I NEVER experienced with my 6 month old little girls!!! His shirt said "Party Animal", I wonder how he acts at home?!?

Enjoying some fun times with Daddy, and cousin Kinsey, as well as getting warmed up with LaLa on the couch after being outside for a bit in the cold!!!!!!

 We found a beach on the Mississippi, looking for clams, though!!!  Where's the sun and tan lotion!!!!

 We went down below Danny and Kaitlyn's house to find some "treasures", the girls had fun looking!

 It was a wonderful time, as always-lots of memories once again made together for the holidays.
