Iced In

It's hard to believe that just a few days ago it was warm enough for the kids to spend an entire day outdoors, and today here we are with school cancelled due to an ice storm. We woke up this morning to everything covered in ice. I let the kids bundle up and go play in it before it began to melt. I honestly don't believe kids can feel cold because they were having a blast. Breanna braved the iced over slide, and nearly busted her face. Luke, Jolea, and the rest of the kids bounced on the trampoline or whats left of it. Thankfully we had no injuries.

Oh, and this is one of the newest members of our family. Luke's baby goat "Rosco." And no he doesn't normally get to come inside, but I heard him crying outside this morning and it broke my heart so we let him come in for a short time and warm up.

Outback!

The kids had an amazing day outdoors today. It was so nice and sunny, and they spent nearly the entire day outback in the woods. Yesterday Joey and my Dad bought 16 goats at the livestock sale to eat about 10 acres of woods outback. I think they'll be going back next weekend for more because that is way too much eating for only 16 goats. Luke is just fascinated by them and spent all day out there, and he is just itching to hop on the back of one of them. Jolea wasn't real sure about them but I did finally convince her to pet one. Now Brea, she tries to pet them but keeps her distance. She was horned in the eye by one of my parents goats when she was was around 5 years old. So she is a little on the cautious side. Days like this make me so ready for spring. Our family loves being outdoors. Anyhow, enjoy the pictures

Is she not the most gorgeous rottweiler you've ever seen?

The End

In with a bang!

The new year has started out with a bang! I haven't felt this good in a long time. I've been working out at the FLC in Caddo since last Monday, and it is kicking my tail, but I love it. I actually worked out 6 out of 7 days last week. One of my friends, you know who you are, says I'm getting obsessed! So just for you friend I'll try to eat a little better.

The kids are doing great. Breanna is playing basketball right now, and will start softball again in Feb. That's when things get crazy. Jolea has her 5th birthday coming up at the end of this month. She knows it's coming and asks me everyday if it is her birthday. She is ready for the party! And Luke, he is so into hunting right now. He wants to go to the deer lease every weekend with his Daddy. He is such the little hunter, and he really enjoys the time with his Dad.

Happy Birthday Brea!

We celebrated Brea's 11th birthday last night! I can't believe she is so stinkin big. We took Brea and 5 of her friends to Kyoto Japanese steak house, and then we stopped in Shananigans and played some laser tag. It was a blast! The girls climbed the rock wall, and played arcade games the rest of the night. We had so much fun! Enjoy the pictures!

When the dogs away the cats will play

With Joey and Luke gone to the deer lease the girls could do fashion show after fashion show! We had a blast today with just us girls! Enjoy the pictures.
