Is it Summer yet?

I think it's happened.. I'm starting to get used to this weather. Last week Sabetha was hit by a pretty bad storm that caused 10 inches of snow and blizzard warnings. School was cancelled for three days and one evening the low was -9!!! I think it deserves a repeat..... -9!!!! So here is the crazy part.. Friday morning I let the dogs out and noticed it wasn't that cold.. the sun was shinning and the wind was barely blowing. I came back inside and told Donna about the nice weather.. she went to the computer to check the temperature. Of course I'm thinking maybe 35-40 degrees.. After checking the site she looks at me and starts laughing- It was 23 degrees! I now think 23 degree's is NICE! What is happening to this Texas girl??

Besides learning how to drive on snow-packed roads its been pretty quiet around here. The workers boarded up the house and have been framing the basement during the cold weather. We'll be heading down to Dallas this weekend and I plan to stay for a week to visit with my mom and see friends.

The girls playing in the snow.. they lasted about 10 mins outside. I think the high was 12 that day!

Lots of snow

Sam's birthday is this week and since we'll be in Dallas I thought he deserved a night to hang out with his friends. We watched the K-State game, enjoyed great bar food and of course the guys were a blast.

I love them!

Staying warm

So its been pretty cold here... I'm talking high in the upper 20's. Basically that means I don't leave the house unless I have to work or the dogs need to potty. Good thing there's always family around to entertain so I'm never bored. Ash and Jarod were in town this weekend so we took the opportunity to get some adorable shots of Bailey in her new red outfit.

I think she was done at this point

Since Bud and Sam were reffing Saturday night Gina brought the kids over and we had a ball playing with them. Kiera is all about the dogs and spends a good 20 mins throwing the tennis ball for Toby. Tallen found Papa's glasses and decided to try them on.. :-)

Busy few weeks

Its been pretty busy with Thanksgiving, visiting Dallas and starting a new job. Here's a quick update.

We enjoyed Thanksgiving day in Sabetha with the family and then headed to Dallas Friday morning. After getting up early and driving 9 hours we hung around my moms house and played with the kids. Saturday we had a fabulous thanksgiving lunch then later took Britnie to see Blindside. If you haven't seen it, please make sure you do. It was hilarious and such a great story.

There's been some great progress on the house.
