We got some more snow again today...it was very pretty as it fell in big flakes. The boys ran to the window to watch it come down. I love the snow but also like it when I can get more out and about.

The Tolls of Snow Days
Another snow day...it's beginning to be a little "too much togetherness". Even the cats are fighting : ~ ) 'Course they don't need a snow day to do that.

SNOW DAY!!
Today was an official snow day. We had a few inches of snow so we went outside to play in the snow. The boys seemed to enjoy themselves even though rain was beginning to fall on us. We tromped around, made snowballs, and made this little snowman. I think they had fun even though it wasn't long before our youngest said, "Go in Mommy?" And so we did. Maybe we'll go out again tomorrow since there's no school.

Look at Those Pearly Whites
Yesterday, our oldest went to the dentist. He got a "clean bill of teeth". I'm excited that he likes the dentist far better that I ever will.

These Shoes Are Made for Walkin'
I got new walking shoes today...my old ones have holes in them. I'm hoping that this will encourage me to get back to the Y walking again. We can hope.

Last Chance Harvey
Saw Last Chance Harvey with a friend tonight. It was a good movie, a little sad in places, but good.

Potty Training?
If only she would actually use this potty. But she does really well with her litter pan so I can't complain too much.

Mommy, I've Got a Boo Boo
Today our youngest had to get some blood drawn for a follow up allergy test. He did really well...he cried but was very brave. And after he was done, the nurse gave him some Scooby Doo stickers. Here he "shows off" his boo boo.

My Temptation
Many times, as I am watching Biggest Loser, I get the urge to eat...don't know exactly why and I know I'm not the only one who feels this way. These are just one of my tempations.
Not doing real great on my quest to losing weight...but I'll get there.

A Day that Will Not Be Forgotten
Today was a day that will go down in the history books. Our first African American President was sworn in. The atmosphere reminded me of New Years Eve in New York City and the parades, parties and balls reminded me of New Years too. It is a new beginning, a new era, the time of change has come. May our leaders, our country and each of us be blessed in these years to come.
Jim found this cool action figure during the campaign. I thought it fitting for today.

Long Lost Jonas Brother?
While watching the Disney Kids Inaugural special: We are the Future, Jim begins to rock out. Could it be that Jim is the long lost Jonas brother? You decide.

Lazy Day
Today was so cold there was not much you wanted to do. Our oldest cat, Stimpy, had a great idea today...snoozing.

Wanting, Waiting for Snow
Our oldest is wishing and wanting snow tomorrow...actually for the rest of the week so school is at least delayed and hopefully canceled. Tonight, he decided to help the process along by "making it snow" silly string outside. Since it's still not doing anything, at least it wasn't last I checked I'm thinking school will not only be on tomorrow but it may just be on time.

Words to Live By
I found these words on a book in a local bookstore...I had to take a picture of it so I'd remember it.

Happy Birthday!!
It's hard to believe that 8 years ago I was in the hospital holding my new little boy. We'd gone in at like 6 o'clock in the morning for a scheduled c-section that was supposed to be at 9 am. But because someone else was having complications and they needed the room, we didn't go into the OR until 11. And my little guy was born about 40 minutes later.
Because he'd had a little bit of trouble breathing, they wisked him off to the nursery to be sure he was ok. I hadn't had a chance to see him and I wasn't sure if he was alright or not. Finally when I got back into my room, Jim brought him into me and said, "Let me introduce you to your son." It was wonderful. A little while later, our oldest looked at me and said his first word (and I'm not making this up at all) he said "Mom".
It's hard to believe that was 8 years ago. Where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday he was learning to walk and talk...and now he's half way to his 16th birthday and driving. I've enjoyed watching him become the boy he is today, but sometimes, just sometimes I miss that little little boy who came into my life 8 short years ago.
Happy birthday, my "little man". I love you!!
The top pic is from 8 years ago...back in February 2001, the bottom is my pic of the day.

Happy Birthday!!
Today our oldest had his 8th birthday party at our local YMCA. We swam and had a lot of fun. His cake was Surf's Up. I can't believe he's about to be eight years old. Where did the time go?

Castle at Home
One of our youngest's favorite playsets. I wouldn't mind living in something like this too...or at least having one in our back yard.

Hi Mommy
Our youngest was watching as I was out in our front yard. I thought what a good opportunity for my picture for today.

Getting Fit
One of the resolutions we have made in our house is to be healthier and more fit in 2009. We'll see how it goes. The guys like the Iron Gym we have. Our oldest enjoyed doing pull ups tonight.
