Snow/Ice Storm Cont.

We'll most of you all know we have had a big ice/snow storm. Jeff and I woke up and had no power. We waited it out a little bit but when I figured out work didn't have power and I didn't have to go in, we headed out to Sam and Beth's. Thank goodness someone had power. After we all took long naps we bundled up to go play in the snow.

Snow/Ice Storm

We'll we had our first real snow/ice storm today. School's were out but I still had to go to work. When I got home tonight, I checked out on the deck and was amazed at what I saw. The news says it's only going to get worse tonight and tomorrow morning. I am hopeing I will get a snow day tomorrow along with the rest of Louisville, but I guess we will see.

Martin Luther King Day

Silly girls with their bears


All snuggled up for bed


Since we all were off for Martin Luther King Day, we decided to let Chloe have a friend over. Bless her heart, she gets so lonely by herself all the time. She had Madelyn, a friend she use to dance with, over and they had a blast together. They hadn't seen each other for a year and you could tell it. They laughed and giggled for hours. Madelyn spent the night and so the girls had a sleepover downstairs with me. They had so much fun together.

6yr Old Pictures.

Today we went to church and then over to Granny and Pappy's house for Lunch. We always love going there, not just because the food is delicious but because Granny and Pappy are such wonderful people and they are always happy to see us! After lunch Granny and Aunt Sarah rode out with us to get Chloe's 6yr old pic made at Portrait Innovation. That place exceeded all my expectations. It was a wonderful experience and the pictures were fabulous! Chloe was quite the little ham as usual and she looked so beautiful. I still can't believe she is going to be 6 in a few weeks. We are trying to get things ready for the Barbie Princess Party. If anyone has any great ideas on crafts, let me know. These are just a few of her pictures. To see all of them go to my Facebook and they are all posted on there.

Today was a typical Thursday. Mommy had to work late and then rushed to pick Chloe up from Aunt Christy. We had a hair appointment for Chloe. It was way past time for another one. She looks so pretty and so grown up. It's hard to believe that in 3 weeks she will be 6!

A sick Household.

We'll today started off normal but I soon realized it wouldn't be ordinary. I started feeling really sick to my stomach and eventually did get sick. Then I got a call from Jeff saying he was headed home sick too. Yippee. Luckily so far Chloe has been fine. We have confined her to her room so she can hopefully stay well. Hopefully, Jeff and I will get over this real soon.

Back to the real world.

It's nice going on vacation but it stinks when you have to go back to work. We had a wonderful vacation. We didn't go any where but we had an amazing time just spending time together as a family. We went to the movies one day, hung out at home and just other low key things. But all good things come to an end. This week was back to work and back to school for Chloe. Hopefully now that things are back to normal, I can keep this updated everyday.

Chloe and I started out the day looking for Birthday stuff for her birthday and then we headed home so I could get stuff ready for dinner with the Diehl's and then our New Year's Eve party with some friends. The Diehl's came over early for dinner and then we exchanged presents. Then everyone else started arriving for the party. Luckily, the pages brought their WII and that was the main source of entertainment. I absolutely loved it. I can see how it can be addicting. The kids played really good w/ Chloe's barbies and then watching movies. Everyone, including the kids made it to midnight and past that. We had a blast and are thankful we have such wonderful friends.

We finally got to have Christmas with Dale, Lori and Alex last night before everyone came over for New Year's Eve. They did way too much for us and we appreciate everything they do for us and what they mean to us. Chloe got a lot of things including a purse, barbie, some shirts and lots of other things. I got several shirts and a couple of necklaces and Jeff got some shirts. We had a good dinner and nice time together.

Bass Pro Shop

Monday we spent the day at Mawmaw's house since this was the last day Uncle Lee and his family would be in town. We all headed out to do some shopping and ended up at Bass Pro Shop. They still had all their Christmas stuf up and Chloe thought it was all neat. We will have to make sure to get out there before Christmas next year.
