Happy Birthday to Grandpa Tractor, even though this is late. We love you very much and hope your day was wonderful. Thank you for letting us use your snowmobile, Blase loves it and rode it for the first time yesterday. He thinks it is so cool to have a snowmobile to ride next to Dad's four wheeler. We love you and hope to see you soon.

Daddy getting ready to teach Blase how to ride the snowmobile.

Blase loves riding the snowmobile! He was riding one handed and waving to me and Grammy the whole time. He kept chasing me in the driveway, and was trying yo run me over! It was a good laugh.

He thinks he is LIGHTENING MCQUEEN on a snowmobile. He said,"Mom, could you blog this with some Cars songs?" He is a stitch.

Blase has been card making for all his friends in the neighborhood, and has been wanting to deliver them. So Doug was brave and trusted Blase to ride the snowmobile while he rode the four wheeler. Blase thought that was Awesome. Doug, thank you for being such a great Dad! You are always spending time with the boys and doing fun things. Thank you for taking Blase outside even when you don't feel good. God has blessed us with the greatest Father/ Husband ever! You are the GREATEST and we love you.

Now Grammy came over yesterday to help us because Doug and I have been sick with a cold and like flu bug since Thursday. Coughing, aching, fever stuffy head, runny/stuffy nose.....etc.. I am just starting to feel like my old self, and Doug is still sick. Harrison now has the cough, but it doesn't seem to be too bad. All that leads us to my HEALTHY COWBOY HAT, PIRATE PAJAMA, CARS SLIPPER wearing Blase! He got dressed in his best outfit to bowl with Grammy. I am so thankful that Blase has not been sick...that is a blessing. He is at school today and is glad we are sick so he can spend time with Grammy. She slept on the bunk beds with him and he thinks that is great! Thank you mom for serving us this week. Thank you Pa Jon for letting her come. To everyone in Va Beach and Georgia your children would love the snow and the activities! Our neighbors made an ice rink so hopefully we can use that soon. I love you all and miss you.

These boots are made for walkin!

I just wanted to show off my new uggs. I took the picture myself as you could probably tell. I wanted the picture of my dad and (I to be side by side because we look so much alike when we or I mean I pout! The pictures of Blase and Harrison are from tonights dinner... A Happy Dinner! Blase ate all his food without grumbling and complaining, which does not happen too often. Things are looking up at our house! And well Harrison, he is just happy to eat ANYTHING...Thank God! I love and miss you all more than you will ever know.

Week in review.....

Snow man making weather is what we had today. Big huge fluffy flakes of snow!

Blase and I decided to build, not just a snowman, but a snow family! After taking pictures, Doug helped us. The snow was heavy and hard to lift.

How do we look? left to right..Harrison, Blase, Jess and Doug. Duchess our newest member is in the front.

Saying Goodbye to dad and Beth. Dad and Beth I love you both dearly and pray God will bless you as you move to Va beach. You will be missed, but we are so thankful that you get to go. Dad, thanks for always calling and being a wonderful father and pa pa to my boys. I can't wait to see what God has in store for you and Beth. He has done awesome things for our family and this move is so exciting. Love you and miss you already!

Picture perfect snow and that is exactly what it is!

Blase and Dad laughing at Harrison.

Beth bowling. We had a challenge on the Wii and Blase smoked everyone! He has yet to be beat and has a high score of 266. He has a record of 6 strikes in a row. Beth and Dad now want a Wii, or are hoping Isaiah gets one.

Blase the Magician. He got a Magic Hat for Christmas with 8 tricks in it. He doesn't do the tricks right, but when he does he is tickled!

Harrison just like the hat!

Harrison bending over and eating his toes. His head looks a little flat, but I hope it's only because his hair is so thin.......aagghhhhh!

Dad and Harrison

Thursday night Doug stayed with the boys while I went out with a friend. When I got home he had made a special dinner for me with candles and everything. He ripped a paper towel napkin into the shape of a heart. We ate, chatted and watched t.v. It was so nice. Doug I adore and love you so much! I am so thankful for you and all the little things you do. Thank you for always bringing me surprises. He also brought me home the Magic Bullet for no reason. I love it and it works awesome.

Amazing Grace

Hello everyone! Finally a new post. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. We enjoyed the holidays very much and I was ecstatic to get a pair of tall Ugg boots! I love them and wear them all the time....thank you MeMe and Don. I now need a mini skirt to go with them and a new set of legs heehee. Now I am getting ready to say Good bye to my dad and Beth. They are leaving next Thursday for Virginia Beach. Although I am very excited for them and Alicia, we will miss them terribly. I now have one more reason to get to a place that feels like home. I am so happy for them. We are having a Major Thunderstorm right now. A thunderstorm in January, in northern Michigan is not very common. All of our 5 feet of snow has depleted for the second time this winter! Mom, if you are reading this you will be happy. I took this picture of my boys this morning for you. We miss you and Jon and hope you are having a great time. Duchess is good and misses you too. I love you all and miss you so much!
