Coloring Valentines

Coloring Valentines cards...

...is very serious business.

See?

Let's Get It Started!

This is the way to enjoy the half time show...with your own personal dancer.

She was imitating Fergie's moves...thank goodness they were tame!

"Turn around and dance for us!"

The sunglasses "glam" it up.

Napping.

I went in to get her up to go get Charles from work and this is what I found.  Her "babies" asleep on the floor.

And "mommy" was out cold.

Of Squirrels and Elephants.

Chelsea had asked Sydney at one time what her favorite animal was and Sydney replied that it was a squirrel.  So, when Talia found one at Jo-Ann's she had to get it for her.  My parents brought it out one day when they had an appointment in Lincoln.  They asked Sydney what her favorite animal was and she replied, "An elephant."  Thankfully, the squirrel was still very exciting.

I got a new way to...sleep?

Snow Day

We had a couple of snow days in a row where Charles had school cancelled.  The first day it was still warm enough to go out and play in it for a bit.

Bragging

I'm so proud of my husband who got B's and A's this semester in law school.  Those are good grades normally, but with the semester we had with a broken toe and me being so sick for so long and then miscarrying, they look even better.  Throw in his job and he did Freaking AWESOME!!  Way to go, honey!

I took these while we were on our trip.

Back

We just got back today from a ten day trip to Tucson.  Family, games, Old Tucson Studios, Mesa, hiking, being sick, rain and freezing temperatures were all a part of the trip, whether they be good or bad.  I took over seven hundred pictures and will hopefully be getting them up, not to mention the pictures of our activities for the month of December.  So be prepared for a barrage of posting from me in the next couple of days.  Yay, right?

Cowgirl on Horse

Ever since we got Sydney her boots she has been dying to ride a horse.  Thankfully, the pony rides at Old Tucson are by donations only, so we let her ride while we were there.

Petting "her" pony.

Overexposed, but I kinda like it.

Last pet.  My favorite part was when Sydney was talking about how much she loved horses and Talia commented on how Sydney was going to be one of those girls who wants a pony and Charles told Talia that if we could at all afford the horse and the land she probably would have a pony.  Talia looked a little shocked, which was the very best part of the conversation
