Winter Fun Day

We got about 2 inches last night! The kids were home from school and we took the girls out for their first romp in the snow! We didn't stay out too long as it was only 16 degrees!! The bummer of it all was that John is away on business and missed it all :( We miss him!!!


The driveway is a sheet of ice!

Sophie looking like "What the heck?"


Macy made herself comfy!

Molly lost her feet!

25 Things About Me

1. I have been kissing the same man for 17 years and I still like it.
2. I have 4 kids and have only been pregnant 3 times...it's the way to go!
3. I used to be REALLY shy.
4. I'm not really a social butterfly...much to my husband's annoyance. My idea of a great night out is dinner with friends and lots of wine.
5. I LOVE to shop for shoes and bags (purses,luggage,diaper...you name it)!
6. I am technically a middle child...Mallory is 10 years younger than me and Staci is 3 years older...but I still think I'm the baby.
7. So far I don't like my 30's more than my 20's...all those people who said I would are crazy!
8. My sweet Daddy has always given me whatever I want when I cry ;) Sometimes works on my husband but not as much!
9. I LOVE dark chocolate and always justify it because THEY SAY it's "good for your heart!"
10. Ever since my kids were born I have always wondered exactly who the THEY was in "They say..."
11. I am awful at keeping in touch...thank you FB...I miss you Michelle. Graduate school was such a fun time!!
12. I have been blessed to meet the 3 significant women in my life who I will always trust my heart too...lynn, cindy, and amy (you need to come back :( )
13. I was voted friendliest in high school...that still makes me smile :)
14. I love music! My kids and I have a nightly dinner ritual of cranking up Beyonce's "Single Ladies" and dancing around the house. My almost 2 year olds were in their cribs the other night saying over and over..."WA OH OH!"
15. I didn't vote for Obama but wish I would have.
16. I LOVE DISNEY WORLD!! I cry at all of the parades and fireworks...cheezy I know!
17. My family and close friends have always called me SheaShea...my sweet husband still does.
18. My children make me laugh every day...and yell...but mostly laugh!
19. If I were stranded on a deserted island I would want LOTS of books! My husband complains about how much i read...I guess I should be paying bills or something constructive like that ;)
20. I'm a good swimmer but a little nervous of water...not helpful when you live on the lake.
21. I'm obsessed with Twilight. Read all 4 books in a 2 week period! :P
22. At 33 years old I've finally discovered "my type of guy." He's macho, rugged, and scruffy...Jeffrey Dean Morgan (AKA Denny) He's yummy!
23. I struggle really hard to be the best woman, wife, mommy, sister,daughter,sister-in-law,daughter-in-law, co-worker, and friend I know how to be. I always want people to know that I appreciate them!
24. I'm really proud of all I accomplish on a weekly basis.
25. I have always thought of myself as a little dorky :)

What a GREAT Day!

Artist: Lee Greenwood
Title: Proud To Be An American

If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.
I’d thank my lucky stars,

to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.
From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston,

and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,

where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.
And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Hi There!

I know it has been quite a long time since I posted...SORRY!!! I have pictures to post and Christmas updates. I have been sick with what I believed to be bronchitis since about Thanksgiving time and can't seem to shake it. I'm taking myself back to the doctor today to check it out again. I'll keep you posted and get some pictures on here soon! I wish you all a blessed and happy new year!!
