Snow Days

Tanyard Creek - Bella Vista, AR

Charles and I took a drive today to get some cool pictures. This is the same creek that we had our family pictures made back in October (the same one's we sent at Christmas). I didn't get to walk down there, because it was too slippery for me and Emily to get down there, so here are some of the pictures that Charles took.

The bottom on is my favorite. Poor birdies, how do they get in their home?

Frozen Margarita Anyone?

We drove home from Texarkana, TX yesterday into what became the first ice storm of the year. Thank you everyone for being concerned with our safety and all the phone calls along the way.

Honey Dos

I'm sure every wife in America has this same never ending list kept somewhere hidden away for all of their hubbies to take on, and my hubby is no different. I love him for being quite the handyman to have around. I will say there is a lot of things that he can do, but he is no plumber, that is for another post, but here are a few pictures of some things that he has done around the house lately; and sorry ladies I am not loaning him out. As you see below I got a new washer and dryer a year ago and he built this wonderful stand for the two of them in my utility room. He did this for me when I was pregnant so that I wouldn't have to bend over so far. Ah...How Sweet.

I Love My Daddy!

Going Green

We have been going green for a while now, but this year we started buying rechargable batteries. I know the are very costly, but the toys...oh the toys...we now have no choice. Here is a picture of our new battery center. (Thanks again to my wonderful hubby.)

2009 To Do List...

Okay so I know how To Do Lists work, and I know that it will continue to grow, but #1 on the list is to become more organized. After becoming a mom this last year, I now know the importance of being as organized as possible. Here are a few pictures of me getting organized (I would like to say THANK YOU to my dear husband for all of his hardwork, and for putting up with all of the chaos...I LOVE YOU!)

And for the dogs...

Mary Mary, quite contrary,
