What To Do When It Snows...and You're 26!

This past weekend, it rained...and it froze...and it snowed like crazy! So while we were stuck in the house, Ive been working on a fun puzzle. Christina helped me for a bit, and then I worked on it for another entire day. Hopefully one day I get to post the finished puzzle picture.

Lexi running in the snow, so pretty


Still snowing on Friday afternoon

On our way to the movies, with Jared and Tina, Jared saw this poor little tree.

So he decided to knock the ice off, and help it out.

Pretty scenery

He found another one, and had to save it too!

After the movies, Lexi and I had to play in the snow

Jared couldn't stand that Eric's truck was clean, so he threw some snow on it.

Then we had the grand plan to go sledding on the hill in our backyard! Up until now, this hill has been nothing but a pain. When it rains, our entire backyard floods. So I was happy to have something good came out of it!

Jared

Eric

They were having so much fun!

I guess they thought a kennel would be a good sled

Notice the lid flying up in the air...they're nuts!

Ready for our turn to sled!

Trying to be tough

But he loves me!

Tina's turn

My turn

Where's Jared?

There he is!!

Lexi dug him out

Watch out Jerry!

So much for the pretty backyard

Proud Aunt and Uncle!

A lot of the posts on my blog have to do with my niece! We just love her so much and we have so much fun with her. When it got close to the time when Reagan would be here, Hailey and I made a present for her. She came to stay with us for a night, and we worked together to pain her sister a pretty picture!

First of course she had to kiss Lexi

and pose with her...

Then we got to work on the painting

Here's the finished product! Except I still have to write "Sisters" at the top and get Reagan's handprint on there. We can't wait to give it to Baby Reagan!

About a week after we finished our project, Amy went to the hospital to be induced. Wednesday afternoon, on the 20th of January, at 1:17 pm, they had BEAUTIFUL Reagan!

Hailey and Lexi: In Pictures

Hailey has been staying at our house while Amy and Ryan have Baby Reagan, and Hailey's a big fan of Lexi. She always wants to kiss her and hug her and wonders where she is. It's really cute.

This afternoon, she decided that she wanted to sit on Lexi's bed with her, and take a picture...

Hailey: "Take a picture Kimmy"

Lexi: "Mom...why is she on my bed?"


Hailey: "Wanna kiss?"

Hailey: "This is a good spot to watch TV"

Lexi: "Make yourself at home"

Lexi: "I love kids, but she's taking over my bed!"

Hailey: "Excuse me Lexi, I need more room"

Hailey: "La la la, just playin on my bed!"

Lexi: "Okay now Im only halfway on my bed, but Im determined to hold my ground!"

Lexi: "Really Kid? You kicked me off my own bed!"

Lexi: "Oh well, she's kinda cute!"
