My LOVE for Etsy

Have you ever browsed etsy.com if not you are totally missing out. They have EVERYTHING you could ever imagine on there and I just LOVE it. And if you are someone who is good at making stuff like this, you need to look into getting yourself a etsy account and make you some money!!

And no this headband is not for my daughter, it is for ME!! I LOVE it and the seller was VERY prompt in mailing out which is a plus! She even sent a nice Thank you Card with 15% off my next purchase. You can check out her etsy@www.mineforthemaking.etsy.com

Go Packers Go

Me and my mama getting ready to pig out!!

Aunt Di and Paige..not sure what she has..don't ask the child dresses herself lately and it is scary.

Troy stirring up the goods

Not sure why I did not get any pictures downstairs while watching the game. I must have been hanging out with the food upstairs!!

Go Packers Go. We had a great time watching the Game. Lots and Lots of food, even more reason I need to quickly jump on that exercise band wagon...if only I could find that motivation. Now I will enjoy my Football break before baseball season begins. Don't get me wrong...LOVE to watch baseball game in person just not so much on TV.

A Warm up insight

We still have LOTS of Snow, but the forecast is calling for some warmer temps come this weekend...at this point 40 for us is a heat wave!! In the mean time the kids are building a tunnel with all this snow. The little ones usually do not last long out there, it was very cold yesterday.

FURY FRIENDS

I am a SUCKER for animals, a total trait I inherited from my mother!! Ruthie is our cat we adopted from the Humane Society.

Zeik is our Boxer we rescued through a local rescue. He really has a love/hate relationship with the cats of the house.

Zeik and is "usual" spot. Such a BIG baby!!

Smokey is the newest member she was also a rescue from the Humane Society. It took awhile for him to warm up to BIG ol Zeik...as you see here he still peeks around the corner too see where is big friend is.

iPad Madness

I stumbled across these pictures the other day while emptying my camera, I seem to always use my phone these days for pics. Mason's class went to the Apple Store for a study trip. He just LOVED it and learned so much. I must admit the iPads are neat and I would not mind one myself. However everything we have is Windows driven, and I have a Android Phone. We stopped into one of our local electronic stores the other day and the dude "almost" had me sold on the Verizon version. It is just one of those things, do you don't you....how many electronics are too many??

Mason enjoyed the iPad so much it was on the TOP of his Christmas list. Needless to say Santa must have lost that part of the list!!.

Blizzard of 2011

We here in West Michigan got hit pretty hard by the Blizzard of 2011. This meant 2 Snow Days in a row for my kiddos. Troy and I could not even make it out on Wed. This is how deep the snow was on our road before the plows came through.

Side of our driveway. The kids really actually have a hard time playing out there right now because the snow is so deep. However Mason is working on a cool tunnel.

We had to immediately go out and shovel our deck, our poor Zeik (dog) could not even make it out there.

Steps off the deck, so MUCH snow. OK you can melt now I am READY for Spring!!

SNOW

We here in Michigan are wondering if we will really get hit with this BIG Snow Storm. I really am keeping my fingers crossed it just by some chance misses us!! ON the flip side January FLEW right on by and February is here which means SPRING is getting closer. I really am just sick of snow. Winter just seems to drag on and on at this point. I am ready to pack away those snow pants, boots, etc...and dream of wearing those comfy flip flops and NO coat!!! Soon enough!!
