Last weekend!

So this last weekend was a GREAT one! IT SNOWED~A LOT too!! It just kept coming down for hours and hours. Aaron and I decided that we would put the kids to bed and go out and play in it for a bit! He started a large snowball for the starting of a snowman. (The kids would later finish it!) I shoveled the walks....and then a huge snow ball fight was started (thanks to Aaron)...and ended in some white washes. (thanks to Charee) Great fun was had all around!

Aaron just couldn't pick up his snow ball!! Muscles and all. ;)
So...he kissed it instead!

The first finished SNOW BUDDIE of the year!! All my three boys made him while I was outta town! Such a beauty! **She/he even has eye lashes!!** (picture taken the next night!)
While my boys were home Saturday making the snowman...My sweet sister Cindi and I went and "Cristinapped" our other sister Cristi!! She had a baby a couple months ago and has been feeling a bit house trapped!

We came to take her out to lunch and a day on the town!

She had NO clue!! PRICELESS!!

This is the picture taken as we walked in the house! Her face was CLUELESS of what was happening!! We loved it!
We tried to get a closer picture of her face walking in...but she kept turning her head!
Finally we captured the bed head and no makeup on! HA HA!
We chilled with the newest little dude NATHAN!
Chatted and played with the darling little diva's...while Cristi hurried and primped quick!
We were then ready to STEAL HER!!! Fun times!
Our glorious destination first was good ol' TACO TIME!!
Long story here...but this particular location has the BEST salsa/everything BAR for our cheap little taco's!! YUM!
We loaded up on the goods...and ate ate and ate! Of course chatted as well! We enjoyed hanging and chatting and eating treats the rest of the day too. Not pictured! Sure LOVE my sisters!
It then was time to go with the GAL PALS for some BREAKING DAWN moments! I had to hurry and drive home to make it just in time for this strange/cheesy movie (I must admit)...but fun at the same time. Always still a good night no matter what when you are with the ladies!!

My ticket of proof!
My old T-shirt from the last movie...but I still wore it, for festiveness!!
Some of the ladies to my right! Just lovely!
Some of the ladies to my Left! So sweet! (sorry to not get all the ladies, you were all over the place!)
Thanksgiving is almost in full swing! YAY!!! Hope you all have a great one! The decor is coming down of the fall....and the tinsel is coming out! ;)

Gobble til you WOBBLE ya all!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!!

Randomness!

Just a quick RANDOMNESS post. The weather is COLD and BLAH!

What do you do inside? Make treats I say!!

*My sweet boss' wife is always so kind and gives us employee's little gifts from time to time. This last one was a package which consisted of a bag of brown sugar and a bag of pop corn kernels~along side an easy recipe for caramel corn! Too cute! Call me old fashion...but we only usually do microwave popcorn! We have never had an electric popper....so what did we have to do??? We did what the back of the bag said believe it or not!! (Simple ~ oil and a pan)... and guess what??? IT WORKED! We all were amazed! It was definitely and thoroughly a fun time! The simple pleasures!!

Just in case you were wondering, this is how you do it!

Put the kernels in the pan....
SO exciting!! They POPPED!! It's a MIRACLE!!
The finish product of CARMEL CORN! YUMMY!
Another day of cold weather....Pure bliss watching the kids enjoy making a TURKEY craft!
Cold weather also means....it is time for The LOGAN REC Center!!
Just inside this door is a BLAST waiting to happen!
WOLLY BALL!!! We get one room for the adults....
and one for the kids to run around and get all their wiggles out! GENIUS!!
We bring balls from home and they go wild!!
CHEESE!!
This cold weather also means.....bike riding with friends is about...NO MORE! BOO!!!
But hangin' the Christmas lights on the house is nice!! (YAY AARON in the process!!) Getting it ready for the HOLIDAYS!
BRING IT ON cold weather and the holdidays!!

(For my sake: notice the shrub beds...I did those myself! They may look like a kid did them...but heck, I tried!) HA!
