I have a confession to make. I have become a bit addicted to Facebook. Kolby warned me it would happen. Consequently, my blog has suffered. I'm sorry. Hopefully, it is just a phase. So, let's see if I can do at least a half-assed job of bringing you up to speed on our winter wanderings.
It's pretty sad when you have to schedule play dates for your dogs. We kidnapped Tooder's sister Posey for a week and, as we hoped, Tooder quit acting out (you know, digging holes, pooping everywhere, leaving a path of destruction in his wake). Kids and dogs!
We also survived a mild ice storm. Kolby's school was cancelled for two whole days! Although we enjoyed the frosty house arrest, it just wasn't the same without Grandma Sara, Grandpa Kyle and a heated game of head and foot.
Snow is rare in these parts, so the girls made the most of it!
It wasn't quite snow, it wasn't quite ice - it was "snice."
I think Uncle Curt got a little loopy from the freeze, and decided a Mohawk was a good look for him. I'm not sure if Amos agreed.
The girls drove me nuts for days over these promised valentines presents from Nana Deb and Papa Lee! I swear they would rip into a flaming sack of dog poo if it came in the mail. Nothing thrills them like a visit from the mailman!
Winnie got a replacement pony (Let's just say there was a Christmas catastrophe, and Nana is a sap!) The new pony, Scoot-a-loo, crawls like champ and Winnie insists we all give her kisses on the "yips."
It was Twister for June. Mom did the spinning, June and Dad did the stretching, and Winnie did the wailing and gnashing of teeth. If only she knew her colors, appendages, and left from right! Serenity NOW!!!
I'm not sure what was going on in this shot. I suppose Winnie is taking a virtual cruise on the Polar Express and Lyra wants on at the next stop.
Steph and Spencer promised the wide-screen, HD, Super Bowl-viewing experience of a lifetime. Little did we know, we would get to enjoy the game in 3D!
Yes, Stephanie and I were there too.
And let's not forget our valentine spirit. We had a girls day in and got all beautified! This is Winnie's first experience with polish, and she is hooked. For two days now, she has followed me around the house with outstretched fingers crying, "Mom, fix it, it's chipped." It must be the monster inside her nose that keeps eating the polish!
There now, that wasn't so hard Jess. See, blogging is fun!

ha! ha! yes... don't worry the addiction subsides and your life goes back to normal. but we warned, you may say "oh just a few min" then an hour later realise you've wasted a lot of time!!! Love the yips and sooo jealous, can i live near all of you someday so we can play?!!!!!
I've been waiting for all these pics to show up...you're allowed some facebook time for now, but don't let it last too long!
I disagree with Tish wholeheartedly. She must be the nice sister-in-law. I, however, am not. Please stop making me wait so long for updates, or there will be consequences... grave and dire consequences, such as me and CJ coming to visit. Do you really want me to unleash that boy on your house? I don't think so, Jess... I don't think so.
The Twister caption almost made me shoot snot out of my nose. I was caught off guard with the feared "closed mouth hard laugh." I don't know if its a phase but dewie sure has had her share of nashing and angry fits of rage. I'm just glad we aren't the only suckers suffering. :-) Please keep blogging - even though I have no room to talk, I'm a huge slacker, but I love seeing your pictures and hearing your stories that make our family seem normal.
Wow, you have been buzy lately. As of Facebook, I don't need one more "addictive" thing in my life:{
