Miniature Golf

Miniature golf. Quite a good time. Riley was so determined to finish every hole, it was quite impressive. We all golfed, played video games, par-took in some laser tag - which was a highlight. Riley was so ready to quit - couldn't figure it out - I said, "shoot me" and he figured it out! He was IN!! Loving it! Yes, loved shooting his mommy. Nice. Ended the day with ice-cream. Very good day!

St. Patricks Day

Two Keoughs and their fabulous, darling little leprachauns. Yes, there was the fabulous meal, and I have decided to make it more than once a year, as little Riley now LOVES him some corned beef. No cabbage though.

Bowling with the kiddos

I'm not kidding, each ball down the alley took approximately 10 minutes to get to the pins, once it did finally get there, it would hit a pin and bounce off of it. By the way, you can still get a gutter ball even WITH bumper guards.

Who goes for the bowling anyway? Riley came for the fries.

Thank You

A very big Thank You goes out to all our friends and family who helped Riley reach his fund raising goal today. Down to the wire, and he ended up raising all $1,200.00!!! Woo-Hoo!! Let me say it again... WOO-HOO!!!! He walked nearly the 1.9 miles, except for when his sister pulled him, and was quite the champ!! There was face painting afterwards and bounce houses and quite the celebration!!

Easter Seals. Who ever would have thought they would be such a big part of our lives? They are just fabulous with Riley, and he loves each of his therapists so much!! And just wait, because Riley is on the Easter Seals BASEBALL team!!!! Just wait! He's had two practices so far, and it's been just too durn cold to bring out the camera, but just wait!!!! I'm warning you!

Bruiser

Bruiser. OH - what to say about Bruiser?

• We have play-dates set-up for him.
• He is 6 months old and weighs 62 pounds
• He went through training classes and we held our breath when we learned whether or not he would graduate.
• He is determined to get a squirrel, which means i nearly have my arm ripped out of the socket when one is near.
• Various nick-names are; dog, scooby-doo, puppy, snoopy, pooper(??).
• He loves ice-cubes.

He's just as crazy as always.

We wouldn't have it any other way!!! We love Bruiser!!!

Spring

I have been babbling alot lately about how I love winter, because, well, I LOVE WINTER. I thought it may only be fair to give a little shout out to Spring. Here are a few things to write about for spring:

• New leaves growing on the trees.
• Spring /summer fashion shows.
  

Garage sales! Oh--I missed garage sales.
The sky is actually a beautiful shade of blue, and not gray as I was beginning to believe.

Eh--Spring...it's not so bad.

The post I forgot

This is the price you pay for getting behind in your blogging...the snow post I forgot.

When you live in Alabama, and it snows once a year if you are lucky, you use a rubbermaid tote for a sled.
Then eventually, after tipping over seven hundred and fourty times....I'm sorry, I mean laughing as the kids tip over seven hundred and fourty times.....you go and get the lid for the tote.

It is so sad that I brought my camera inside for the sled ride with Dave and Bruiser, but you can believe that it did happen and it was quite possibly the highlight of the day.

I love snow.

I love winter.

Winter.

I love winter. I love everything about winter. I love trees with no leaves. I love jeans. I love sweaters and boots. I love sweater tights on my little girl. I love your breath coming out all smokey (aka: dragon breath). I love wearing socks all the time. I love drinking hot tea in the middle of the day. I love the possibility of snow. I love the red berries on my tree outside. I love using the fireplace. I love cuddling for body warmth. I love everything about winter. Everything.

But then comes the first day that it's not cold and I sorta like that too.
It was 67 degrees yesterday so we decided a quick picnic at the park was in order.

I am king of the world!!!

That is an awfully long walk around this lake. Why don't we sit for a minute?

Oh, I like spring too. Look at those little daffodils. I like summer too.....but its nothing compared to winter. I don't think it's over just yet. I'm hoping for one more cold blast. Maybe a threat of snow. I love winter.

Snow Day!!!! 2010!!!!

My little Angel!!!!

Sha-Sha....ready to strike....luckily I am not in the line of vision.

Bruiser tried all day long to chew on a snowball. He had a fabulous time!

Smooby. Cold Smooby. Happy Smooby.

And my little princess had the greatest time! We could barely get her to come inside to defrost.

Valentines Day Parties

Riley's fabulous festivities - a holiday candy ice cream party--then home with two sugar filled kids !!!

MMMMmmmmmmmmm..........cookies.

Oh! Look at my little princess saying her prayers. When she first learned the verse at school, she would say AAAAGAin, instead of AAAMEN. Too cute!!

Superbowl Party

What started off as a fabulous New Orlean's themed Superbowl party somehow ended up as most of our parties do....a Princess cookie decorating Party. And then Baby Adam got into the beer. (Ha!! I crack me up!)

Wii !!!!!!!!!

We love our Wii. Never in a million years did I think I would enjoy a video game as much as I do. We have the game... "Just Dance" which is one of my little girls favorites. Here they all are dancing together. So fun. Who knew?? I had no idea!
