Bragging Rights

Andy and I bowl a league on Wednesday nights. Andy is a 220+ average bowler (he's been bowling since he was 4 years old!), and I am a measly 150 average bowler. Not so bad, since I have only been bowling on a league for 4 seasons. So for the people who don't know, we bowl a series of 3 games a night. I usually bowl a 450 series or so. For the last 2 weeks I have bowled over 500 for my series. I thought that was great and all, but then it happened. Tonight, I bowled a 603 series!!!!!!! I bowled a 203, a 219, and a 181!!! Two 200+ games!!!! I am using the exclamation point too much!!!! But, I am sooooo excited!!!!! Now, I have bragging rights!

Hair Cut*

I am unsure about it. I almost chopped it off since it was getting so long. But instead, I only cut 3 inches off. I might still cut it at my chin. We'll see.

No School? Let's go to the park!

Since the girls had no school today, Andy and I took them to the park. We actually just went down to their school, since the park we like to go to was packed, and because Syd and Andy wanted to play catch and basketball. So, off we went. It was a really pretty day. The sun was shining and the temperature was 50 degrees!
We all had lots of fun. In fact the only reason we came home was because we were all hungry. I had been cooking a roast in the slow cooker all day. So, all I had to do was make the mashed potatoes. We stuffed ourselves because it was soooo good! Fun day and a great dinner! What more could you ask for?

Ballerina or Gymnast?

I'm not sure which one. Maybe both?

Silly Animals

I love my animals. They amaze me, and amuse me just the same as my children do. The following pics are just a few examples.

The kitty is grooming Daisy.
The staredown.

Daisy says the kitty is hers.

He was actually comfortable like this. He slept there for an hour. The kitty, not Andy.

Anyway, as you can probably tell by the constant referring to him as "kitty," I still haven't come up with a proper name for him. I started calling him "Ricky Bobby" but the girls don't like it for some reason. Maybe it's because I say it with an accent, like the french guy in Talladega Nights, since that's where I got the name from. I know I am a dork. So I still gotta work on getting him a name that sticks for longer than 2 days. I'll keep ya posted!

Winters' Goodness

I love when it snows, how peaceful it is outside. I also love how beautiful it looks. Unfortunately, the gorgeous snow we got the other day has melted away, and now it is raining and the wind is blowing, hard. :( But before it did, I took some pretty pictures of it. I also got a special request from Sydney, to put the picture of her snowman on the blog. So here they are!

Kassie and Sydney with the snowman.
The tree next door, covered with the pretty white stuff.
Down one side of our deserted street. It was so quiet outside!
Down the road the other way. The specs of light in the middle of the pic are from the flash bouncing off snowflakes.

And, You Guessed It........

Even more snow!!! Yup, that's right.I'm not worried about school or work being canceled tomorrow, though. There is suppose to be rain moving in. But, from the looks of it outside, I'm starting to doubt it. It's coming down hard. That's exactly what I want, though, more snow! Yay! I love it!

With more snow, comes more snowmen, snow forts, and all around snow fun! And of course I had to take pictures of it! Here are some of the latest.

That's the view from my front window. I told you it was coming down hard!

The new snowman Andy and the girls made. It wasn't quite finished when I took the picture.

That's because it turned into a snow wall! Even as I write this, Andy is still not done piling snow on top of it! He has waaaay too much fun in the snow!

And finally, me and Andy in the snow. I LOVE it!!!!
