McKinney's Sight Word Success

McKinney - you are doing so great learning your sight words. Many days you really do NOT want to practice them, but you always do. That determination has paid off because you are learning them so quickly. You are a smart boy and one of the best readers in your class. I love you!!

Snow Jam 2011

Wow - what can I say that hasn't already been said? The snow was amazing. We had so much fun being home with no where to go. We enjoyed relaxing days by the fire and meals together 3 times a day. This gave me a true glimpse of the simple life where hectic schedules don't dominate our every hour. I truly believe this snow was a blessing from the Lord to allow us the opportunity to spend real quality time together as a family. I would love another week!!

Our neighbor, Mr. Beaver, took the boys on a ride. Here is McKinney ready to go!

Micah waiting for his turn.

Rebekah loving the snow almost up to her knees.

Over Christmas Robbie built an awesome bridge over our creek. It was the perfect spot for snow pictures!

We decided to enjoy the hot tub during snow week. This was super fun. The kids loved it and didn't want to get out. It was a neat treat for all of us!

Our snowman with Rebekah's shirt on - for a contest for her orthodontist.

And this is the picture we submitted for the contest - thanks Uncle David for altering it a bit for us.

A little down time. Watching our new movies was a fun treat.

Robbie and I snuck away for a few minutes and used the handy timer on the camera for a rare picture of ourselves.

Sledding fun.

I love this picture - Micah is wearing a GT hat, sunglasses, a home depot apron, GT football pants, snow boots and a coat. Too cute!!

On Saturday (day 6 of the snow) Robbie and the kids built another snowman in the front yard. This one was a bit turned around! Hee Hee...
