Snow Day!

March 1st and what do we see, tons of snow...ok, not tons but for those of us who have always lived in Alabama- it felt like tons. After a couple of days of warm spring-like weather, followed by nasty thunderstorms and tornadoes, we awakened to beatuiful, white snow. Audrey and I were down at my parents for the "event". We took AK out for a few mintues to see the snow.

At first she wasn't so sure about it, but I think she began to enjoy experiencing it. I loved seeing her reaction, the wonder in her eyes as she took in the site of the snow falling. Ahhh, what a refreshing feeling it is to see the world through the eyes of a child.

Since it was COLD, we only stayed out for a few minutes. Just long enough to snap some photos. Then we went back inside the toasty warm house. After we went inside, the snow fell more quickly and soon covered the ground even more than you see in the pictures. I could kick myself for being a whimp and not going back out to take more photos.

Happy Birthday Uncle Keith!

I am attempting to catch up on some blogging after a very busy, overwhelming week.

Last weekend, we went to visit my parents and grandparents. While we were in town, the family went out to celebrate my brother's birthday. His birthday is actually Feb. 16, but we had to wait until everyone could be there. Here are a few photos from that night.

Wordless Wednesday

Cutie Patootie

These are a few of the photos I took of Audrey at the park last weeked.

Valentine's Day

We had a delightful Valentine's Day yesterday. My amazing husband made us breakfast and look how cute...heart pancakes :) (aaawwwww....)

We spent the day together as a family with ample time for snuggling. Then we enjoyed a steak dinner (we called it in and picked it up---that is much easier with a little one and I despise large crowds and waiting forever). I am one blessed lady!!!

Daddy's Girl

This little girl LOVES her daddy, as you can tell by these photos. She really thinks it is great when he lets her dress up in his fire department gear. I thought she was so adorable doing this.

Catching up

This week has been so busy that I have neglected my poor little blog. We've been busy in a good sort of way, but still resulted in no blog time.

Last weekend, Audrey and I went to my parent's home to spend a couple of days. We had a wonderful time of fellowship with the family.

Saturday we went to watch my brother, Keith and a friend of his weigh in their fish at a tournament. (Keith is all into the fishing tournament thing). They came in 2nd place. (every time Audrey and I attend one of his weigh-ins he walks away with money...we should get a percentage of that for bringing the luck...don't ya think???)

Just one of many fish Uncle Keith had.

We took advantage of the gorgeous day by going to the park for a picnic and taking some photos of AK. We followed that up by visiting my grandparents, bringing Blizzards from Dairy Queen for everyone. Audrey spent time petting the cows (yes, we are starting our little country girl out early), picking flowers and entertaining Nana and Pawpaw.

Sunday afternoon, after church and a visit to the nursing home, we indulged in another delicious picnic with the family. The weather was beautiful once again. Soon after stuffing our bellies, we had to load up and come back home. Both of us enjoyed the time spent with our loved ones.

Yes, Grammy would be the one who gave AK all this sugar...cookies, cupcake...and just look at that mess. But she did have fun :)
