Great Neighbors are a Blessing...




We woke up to even more SNOW! The snow plow left me with a 4 by 4 wall of snow. Thankfully Hannah is well and has no appts. I shoveled the sidewalk as required by law, yes by law! But just was not going to get to the driveway or street. Thankfully our wonderful neighbor Dan, who has a snow blower came out and rescued us! He did the driveway and the street. Sarah made him brownies as a thank you. So, again here are more photos of the snow.

HELP! More snow!



We could get 4 to 6 inches today with 8 to 12 more tonight. Since Art decided to get a motorcyle instead of the Quad that means I will be shoveling a lot of snow! Thanks Art! Enjoy your motorcycle, oops you can't it is snowing and your not here! Hope California is nice.

A Poem by Us Kids! ENJOY!

A night at the Library

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the library,

All creatures were reading, even the mouse (with his glass of milk);

The bookmarks were placed in the books with care,

In hopes that the librarian would soon be there;

The children were nestled all snug on their chairs,

While visions of adventures played out in their heads.

With Sarah in science fiction and Jarod in non-fiction,

They were both preparing for a short winter break.

When out in the parking lot snow began to fall,

We jumped from our chairs to throw a few balls.

And low and behold it wasn’t snow,

But cheese being thrown from the store below.

When, what to our wondering eyes should appear,

But Hannah dressed up like a tiny reindeer,

With a short little giggle and a quick little jig,

We knew in a moment a gift she would give.

More rapid than eagles the librarians ascended,

And shouted to all, the story has ended!

"Happy reading to all, and to all now turn off the lights."

Look Daddy! I'm a


big girl now! I tried to cut my finger off! Like father, like daughter. Love ya dad!

A great laugh...



When I was younger, my parents took me to see this troop.Les Ballets du Trockadero. I remember my stomach hurting when it was over. I also remember getting to meet the troop. They were a nice group of men. Enjoy!

Never Again!


This is what happened to my room this summer when I left for 2 weeks with Grandpa Larry and Grandma Judy! Mom painted my room and drew on the wall! If I did this I would be grounded for at least a year! Oh well! I can't complain to much I love it!

My other children...


My girls!


Sass E!


Brand E!

This is what happens when your children start to grow up and you feel unneeded. You go out and get more "children". Sass is almost 6 years old and Brand is 4 years old. Sass E is Art's idea of a dog and Brand E is mine. Both girls however follow me all day and hang on my every word. They also listen about as well as the other 4 kids. If it is food related, oh boy do they listen but anything else and you can forget it.
