Please no more snow!


Snow is fun, but I am ready for spring!

I love playing with Daddy in the snow.

My best Frosty impression

Ready to go inside!

I love bath time

Look at me...I can stand up now!

We are ready for spring! Another snow storm hit us this week and with about 6 inches of snow. Kinley is quickly learning to follow her sister...she has started crawling and now must be watched at all times. She is standing up in her crib and standing up in the bathtub. It has been another busy week and we look forward to the spring soon arriving. No more snowmen...ready for lightening bugs!

A break in the Weather!


I hope my last snowman of the year! Go Kansas!

Uncle Doug & Aunt Connie! Thanks for coming to see us!

We love you Uncle Doug!
All the ladies -- we had so much fun!

Go Lancers!
We love you Aunt Connie!

I can stand up now...how fun!
Well...the weather finally took a turn for the better. Kate's last snowman in the backyard took place last weekend...and this week it warmed up and melted all the snow. The change in weather also brought Uncle Doug & Aunt Connie from PA out to visit. What a great surprise for us!! We had a great time together for the weekend and the girls loved seeing Doug and Connie. Mom and Dad were excited too, they were able to get Ms. Stephanie to come over and babysit Sat. night so they could spend time with Uncle Doug & Aunt Connie. Kinley this past week for the first time decided to stand up in the crib to let us know she was awake...looking out she will be jumping out before we know it! A special thanks to Uncle Doug & Aunt Connie...such a blessing to be with you both this weekend. Ready for spring...no more snow!

More Snow!


Mom is ready for spring!

I look like frosty.
Did I get dressed up for this?
This beats playing inside any day.

Cyrus...where are you?

Best meal I had all day!

Grammy thanks for my red jacket!
Too much snow!
Well...another winter mix decided to descend upon Indiana yesterday. Mother nature dumped another 10 inches on us yesterday. Thank the Lord for a snow blower and a warm house. We stayed inside all day and Kate enjoyed getting out with Dad to clear off the drive way in the late afternoon. We can only catch our breath as another round of snow is to hit Monday night. Kate has enjoyed helping Mom do some cooking and she has enjoyed the Wii downstairs. We were able to get out to church today and Kate shared that she learned about Jesus today...no greater words to hear from your child! Happy Super Bowl Sunday to all. Uncle Doug & Aunt Connie...good luck today!

BLIZZARD of 2011!


Fun in the snow!!

It is fun being inside when it is cold outside!


Ready for bed time...

Daddy help me build a snowman!

Too much fun...no school tomorrow!

I sneezed and look what happened! HA!
The first blizzard to hit our area in a long time rolled in last night. We were blessed with about 14 inches and more on the way today. Love northern Indiana weather! All classes at the college were cancelled today and we were able to stay home and have fun with the family. Daddy was able to put to good use the snow blower from G-Mom and G-Dad that he received for Christmas! Thanks so much!! Kate and Kinley have loved watching all the snow fall and have been playing lots of games inside. Kate has taken her friends on an imaginary trip to Disney World each day for the past week. She is in her Disney world everyday...it is so fun to watch! Kinley is learning to eat more and more foods, she decided to sneeze after a bite yesterday and as you can see...she put it all over her and the kitchen! Have a great February, hope for no more snow...we are ready for spring!

Harlem Globetrotters Game!


Kate & Kinley with Globie!

Kate loved all the fun tricks the Globetrotters could do

Kate, Kinley & Mommy are in the background 3 rows above Globie
We had a special event this week, instead of the regular Grace basketball game...we had the Harlem Globetrotters come to the OCC for a special event! It was fun to watch Kate as she enjoyed all the basketball fun surrounding the show and she loved watching Globie the mascot! The night was full of great dunks and cotton candy...it is all we have heard for the past two days. We were able to get our picture with Globie and Kate loved having a chance to meet him. The new year is off to a good start, Kate is back in school and loving it. Kinley continues to grow and survive her big sister each day. We thank the Lord for a new year all his daily blessings!

After Christmas...New Year celebration -- roller skating!
I can't roller skate by myself...WOW! Happy New Year!
G-Mom & G-Dad took me skating with Cousins Cy & Nolan!

New Year's Eve...great family fun!
What a great Christmas holiday. We were in Virginia and Indy over the break and enjoyed time with all the family. Kinley's first Christmas was fun to watch, but also Kate at the age of 3 it was all "real" this year! All Kate wanted was a fishing pole...and that is what she got! Now she is ready to go fishing with Grandpa Cole this summer!! Virginia was wonderful this year...actually snowed on Christmas day for the first time in a LONG time. So fun to see all the cousins together! Tate, Mateya, Tregan, and Mia are doing great. We enjoyed roller skating with Uncle David, Aunt Megan, Cy, Nolan, G-Mom & G-Dad too on New Year's Eve! When Kate found out she was not good enough at the age of 3 to skate alone...you get the picture above! She is Miss Independent at age 3! We are so thankful for a wonderful and safe holiday and thank all the family for a wonderful time together! Happy 2011 to all, we thank God for his blessings and safety in the year to come! Happy New Year!
