Cute Kids.....

We went and had family pictures done this weekend - here's a sampling....

Shantel Eddy did them for us, she is very talented. If you love what you see, I can get you her info. I'm sure she'd be more than happy to have your business! PS I recommend waiting till the snow melts if you have kids - smiles just aren't the same when they're shivering :)


Birthday Party Fun

Saturday was Savannah's Birthday Party at Classic Fun Center. They rented the "DJ Room" which had a cool DJ booth and black lights. Happy Birthday Savannah!

Lunch with Small Fry Farms

Kristel and I decided to check our kids out of school and take them to lunch and spend a few minutes with them. Kristel also watches my kids and others at her home, so we had most of the bunch at lunch with us. All the people at Arby's were looking at us like we were CrAzY!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

Okay, so I know I've already posted today, but I just wanted to put a big THANK YOU out there to all the snowplow drivers. Working in the environment I do, I hear a lot of complaints about snow plow drivers and how they should be doing their jobs. However, we have guys here that haven't had a day off since before Christmas - even when it's their birthdays. And they do the best job they can plowing around cars that are left on the road illegally and trying to clean out cul-de-sacs. So long story short, I wish everyone out there would stop criticizing the plow drivers and just be thankful you have them, so that you can sleep in your warm cozy house all night long while they're out there plowing! Way to go guys! You're AWESOME!!!


Breaking in the "new guy" and stretching their legs - did you know just one of our plow trucks drove enough miles during yesterdays storm to make it to California??? Show 'em some love! <3

Cold Morning at the School Bus Stop

We got to the bus stop a bit early today so we took a few pics since it was too cold to just make the kids stand there and freeze



Fun day in the snow turns to super fun night in the snow!

When we got home today, we noticed that our little Lilly (chocolate lab) was wanting someone or something to play with. So, when Dave got home, we dressed up the big girls and they headed out for some play time.



Caught this one right as Bradee caught a snowball in her mouth and nose - oopsie!

Here's Lilly in the snow on the deck - Man there was A LOT!!

Mom and Marlee opted to stay inside since Marlee was FREEZING! Marlee insisted on taking pictures of mom :)

She did a pretty good job with the exception of the flash....

Not too long after we got in Kristel knocked on the door and asked if Bryce could play since she was out on her 4-wheeler plowing out driveways. Marlee and Bryce then put on a concert with the "PLANO" as Marlee calls it.

Then they proceeded to make a HUGE mess of her bedroom. Oh well! She wasn't too worried about it until bedtime, then she thought it would be a great excuse not to get into bed - ya know, she needed to clean her room then! Oh the joys of being a kid!

Uber Busy day here at the North Pole

So it's been snowing like crazy all stinking day, the roads were a mess this morning (took dave 1.5 hours to get to work) - the parking lot at the elementary school was RiDiCuLoUs! But I managed to get to work. We've had 1, yep 1, customer ALL DAY! Then we lost power and phones for about 2 hours. So since most of our work is computer and phone related, we decided to take advantage of an opportunity to get some blogging pics. So here you are:

Lindsay in our "dark" office - good thing we have windows :)


Next, we decided to make better use of our time..........



Be careful on the roads - it's rough out there! Thank heavens for 4 Wheel Drive!

Grandma Z's Christmas Present



Since Grandma Z has everything she could ever possibly need. The girls decided the best gift we could give her for Christmas was time with each other. We were lucky to have mom and dad tag along too! Our flight on Harisay travel :) departed from Mickey D's in Farr West and headed up north to Maddox.
Here's a sample of the delicious food:


and THIS, this is an inside joke (I'm laughing so hard right now!)

Let's Play Catch-Up.....Shall we

So here's a brief summary of what we've been doing for the last 2 weeks (or so) since it's been so crazy busy!
Christmas Morning - the girls waiting too see what Santa brought

Bradee got her Carnivorous Plant Set that she asked for (how exciting huh?!?!)

Marlee got a beautiful pink laptop computer (play of course)

And Kaycee got a Hannah Montana Dance Mat, she now knows all the slick moves to make her a pop-star :)

Here are the girls in their Christmas Dresses

Next on the agenda was Marlee dumping the remainder of a container of NesQuik all over her and the floor - She kinda freaked out at the prospect of being "vacuumed"



New Years Eve - Andrea and the girls ran assorted errands during the day and then stopped for lunch at Fazoli's. Then we hung out and watched movies til Midnight.


New Years Day - the family went over to the Dee's for snacks and Wii Fun


Let's see, I think that's all that I have pictures for! Just been running around like crazy - as usual!
