Wishing for Spring

I don't know about you but I am totally wishing for spring right now. I am so done with winter!! I just get so excited to think about warmer weather, green grass, buds on the trees, flowers popping up out of the ground. I could go on and on about all the things but it just makes me sad because spring is still a couple weeks away. I catch myself looking out the window so many times during the day willing it to be spring. The kids are climbing the walls and desperately need the spring air. I can't wait to go to a park and sit in the sun while watching the kids play!! Oh spring won't you come soon!! We really really miss you:)

Look What the Dogs Found



One morning Scott let the dogs out early morning and they just would not leave the grill alone. They were barking and pawing at it. So Scott turned on the back patio light and saw this. A scary looking creature was huddled under the grill. I think it was an opossum. By the time I got up, it was gone. I really didn't want to deal with a "wild" animal.

Update on Mom

Hey Blogger friends! Just wanted to give you an update on my mom. She fell first of the month and broke her arm. When she fell she also injured her knee. The week after her surgery on her arm she went to see the Dr. about her knee. An MRI was done and discovered the she had broken her tibia in two places. Vertical breaks!! So her right side in now pretty much useless. Her arm is now in a cast and her leg is in a full leg brace. I tease my mom by calling her Crash:) Don't know if she just has really bad luck or if she just does things that she shouldn't be doing. I am thinking it is the latter. She is doing fine, not too much pain. That is if she takes it easy and doesn't try to do too much around the house. I wish I was closer so I could clean for her, fold her laundry, do dishes (yes Mom I would do your dishes) walk the dogs and just about whatever she needed done. I am just so glad that Daddy is there for her.

Ice Storm





A couple weeks back we had an ice storm roll through town. It was pretty bad and thankfully we did not have to be out traveling in it. I was able to get a few good pictures of the ice collecting on things outside. I am just so thankful we never lost power!

Please Pray

Hey friends! Please keep my mom, Carol in your prayers. She was at work last night and fell. She broke her right wrist. Surgery will be later this week after the swelling goes down. Also, while she fell she somehow hurt her knee so moving around is quite difficult. Please pray that the pain meds will take the edge off of her pain and that she is able to get some rest. Oh how I wish I lived closer!! Thanks so much:)
