Monster Jams!

CraneWorks was one of the sponsor's for the Monster Jams this past weekend, so Chris was given some passes to this event. Of course Luke was thrilled to be there. It's all he's talked about ALL.WEEK.LONG. He has all of the trucks and LOVES the big monster trucks. Kaylyn was just kinda-sorta excited and just happy to get out of the house after being trapped inside by the frigid cold temperatures. The show turned out pretty good, but COLD and LOUD inside the arena. I guess they had to open the doors and vents in order to let the exhaust fumes and dust out. Anyway, it was cold inside and I was glad I made the kids wear their thermals under their clothes. I, on the other hand, opted to not wear my thermal, but I was warm sitting there with my big coat, boggin, gloves, and Ugg boots!

He was just happy to be there!

Of course the winner was GraveDigger. I don't know the first thing about any of these trucks, but I do know that I hear the name "GraveDigger" all the time, so he must be one of the big names in the Monster truck world!

Our Big Snow...

This is it?? So the 1-3 inches of snow didn't happen. Somehow that seems a bit unfair since we've had to endure bitter cold temperatures for so long. I mean...really...is a mere inch of snow too much to ask??

I guess I really shouldn't complain too much. I had to work Thursday and Friday (did the picture of the "Emergency" sign give that away?) and if the 1-3 inches of snow had really occurred, there was a good chance I would have been stuck at work, which would not have been fun. My kids sure were disappointed about the lack of snow. I guess we're going to have to travel north in order for them to get to play in the snow!

I Can FINALLY Post These!!!

Whew! I've been keeping these a secret for a LONG time! Back in September, we decided to have some group pics made for my parent's Christmas present. We had them made at Tannehill by an excellent up-and-coming photographer Lyndsey Cunningham. She did a fantastic job and was so patient with our very large and impatient group! If you are looking for a photographer, check out her blog!

Get ready for photo overload! I couldn't decide which pics to post, so I posted ALL of my favs! Enjoy!
