when will Mt. melrose be gone?

my wonderfully creative aunt betty thought we should have a "when will the snow be gone contest" so I'm opening it up to all of you. When do you think we will have stairs again? This photo was taken today 3/12 at noon.

he's always been a bit over the top.

notice that big bear has the pillow

we went power tubing behind this sled. sadly no pictures taken
this is the tubing run and it is as fun as it looks

what a difference a day makes

For those of you who are able to link to Wendys blog you already know that in the last week she has gotten the opportunity to travel to China for her work and leave before Easter! What you don't know is that she found out she can take 1 companion and I, Tammy am that person. You read right I am going to China in less that 2 weeks. David gave me the go ahead this morning and my heart is beating 100 miles per hour! I had thought my first step in China would be to be bringing home my baby, but am so excited to be able to visit her country first! Let me give the proper props to my man he is so amazing and I thank God he is mine!

some not all

This weekend we went with David to winterfest in northern WI. So here are some pictures the rest are on B's camera (my cameras not done yet ugh) look closely at the hotty on the base.
one of our friends also brought the family so it was fun having play mates along
you will notice not to many pic's of the 2 older of my kids simply because they don't play with me to much anymore, high schoolers are more fun I guess.

LOVE this one! It was KB's first winterfest and I was glad to be there for it.
this was their "trophy" they were very proud of it.

I put this one in just so you could see how wintery it was out
total F-U-N
the band, no name just the band.

and I wonder where he gets it from?
some of our favorites
Gray is crazy about sooz, it shows because how often do you see him smile for a picture?
man he had a great weekend with the ladies,
a little dancing to our favorite band. We ahd a great time as you can see



FYI

yes he still loves his buddies.
