Chloe my little love muffin is almost 4 mo old!!!





























"mmmmm, tasty blanket.....must eat it"





































Just killin time this weekend I had a blast taking pics of my little muffin getting all chubby and precious. Christine made a beautiful quilt for her and it was a perfect prop for the occasion. Thank heaven for little girls!

so stinkin proud!

Ok I have to use my blog to do a bit of bragging!!!! I am so stinkin proud of my sister Amy for her first major publication this January! She is now published along side some serious big wigs in the Nascar world in this latest edition of Chicken Soup for the Soul!!! Go Honey!! SO proud of you!!!!!!!!!! And also of my crazy brother in law who had lead my sweet Scarlet sister into a life of fast cars and wild rides! Love you guys!

AAAANNNNGGGGHHHH MORE SNOW...SERIOUSLY!!??

"MOM!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm Bored!!!!!!!!!!!





Wearing her officail, 'I'm too little to sleigh ride' jersey Chloe stayed all nice and warm inside.


Kinda hard to see cause I forgot to get his picture before I came inside and got dry. But that's Gaston on the other side of the driveway.











I'm loving my Japenese Maple and how all those little branches caught the heavy wet snow
















Abigail actually tried to dance w/ the snow princess :)







Well it's been a heck of a winter here in 2010!! It's officially been stated that so far it's the 10th snowiest winter on record in our city. An additional 9.5 inches fell this weekend and Abigail and I got out to try to get some play time in. She insisted we build a princess snow man which I did and as I headed inside to finally get warm she lets me know..."but mommy! Every princess needs a prince!!! We have to build a Gaston Prince snowman for her across the driveway!". So being the big fat sucker I am, we started over and built snow man #2 across the driveway for our princess to wave at. :) It was all good fun. Brian kept Chloe happy and warm inside but I'll let him off the hook this time, after all he did have hot cocoa waiting for us when we came back in. I tried to get the Bit into sleigh riding. Had much better success w/ this recent snow vs. the fluffy 18 inches back in December but even w/ 2 successful rides down our hill, one in a tupperware bin and another on an inflatable raft she laughed and said "oh that was fun mommy"...."do you want to go again"....."no, I don't think so mommy.' Oh well. We'll wait for Daddy and a real sled to make that one fun for her. I on the other hand had a ball sliding down the hill on that raft!

"Fadowww Abwaham"

Some King therapy
































We got together with sweet Aunti D and Uncle Greg to help us survive winter boredom. We played some good quality Wii games and ate lots of chicken wings and pizza. It was a blast. Abigail was quite good at sword fighting her daddy, especially when he didn't fight back. :) Poor Chloe just is learning to adjust to the noise of our family fun nights. :)
