The incredible edible egg!!!

I just want to share with everyone! I have reached a new status as a mommy! I mean this is border line super hero status! I am as proud as a peacock! Are you ready to hear why?

Yesterday, I was making breakfast and the kids were in the kitchen cause they think that is the place to be whenever mommy cooks. Aaron stands there and says, "Mama, you are incredible with that egg." LOLOLOLOLOLOL Finally, someone who appreciates the little things I do. :)

Christmas time pictures

We had a good time this Christmas. The boys made out like little bandits and they are grinning from ear to ear. I just wanted to share some pictures with ya!


(Betty, my camera takes awful pictures when I don't use the flash! Grrrrr. I know you are just eyeing the shadows! LOL. When I get my Rebel I will work on it. K?)

I also wanted to share a couple of other pictures with you. This one of Aiden was taken about a year ago in out backyard in Memphis. I looked at it and instantly thought of Donald Trump. LOL! Aiden looks to be saying, "Your fired!" LOL! Couldn't pass this one up!


On this last picture, I took this this afternoon. We have another round of snow with another round coming in on Thursday night. Anyways, we looked outside and saw Cardinals everywhere. I filled up the bird feeders yesterday and forgot all about them until Rick pointed out all of our little visitors. I really had fun watching them today.

Just use your Imagination

Last night we were on out way to church and Aaron was in the back seat roaring with all of his might. This is something that he does regularly. If he is not doing that he is either barking or making some kind of animal sound as loud as his little lungs can make. As usual, this roaring was beginning to get to the rest of us and I told him to quiet down. He is quiet for a few minutes and then he said, "Mom I was just using my imagination. I was a dinosaur." I look at Rick and he is grinning from ear to ear. I can't believe how much he picks up. I told him to please just use his imagination quietly. Then he told me he was just thinking and then with a few minutes of peace the monster dinosaur came back out.

More Ice

Hopefully your not getting tired of the weather pictures cause this just continues to amaze me! I just went out to take some more and can you believe it is snowing again?

Ice Ice Baby!

Jack Frost has put us in a deep freeze. Since I am a SAHM I get to say... IT IS ABSOULUTLY BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE!!! It is like everything is encased in glass.
Hubby went into work a few hours late this morning so we went outside to check for any damage and look in admiration. Everything is fine here and we don't know of anyone losing power here. I was really sweating that cause we would have nothing if that happened. EXCEPT>> Our cell phones! WooHoo! I would be freezing and hungry but I can talk with the best of them! LOL! Here are a few pics I took this morning.

Where is that ice pick when I need it?!?

Well, if anyone has been watching the news, we have been slammed up side the head with winter. The temp is in the teens and the ice is everywhere. I guess we are going to get another round tomorrow night sometime. It is suppose to be an ice storm. That doesn't upset me too much cause I have things scheduled for Tuesday and maybe with school possibly being cancelled, I will be able to stay home cozy with the kiddos! Hmmmmm.
I went outside for a little while this afternoon to take some pictures around our house. The one with the house in it is from the side of my yard looking out in the neighborhood. The one with the grass is where I flung that spider last summer when he thought it was a good idea to camp out in one of my clothes pins. Grrrr!
Anyways, please help me pray to keep the people that have to travel in the nasty weather to please come home safe to their families. Mainly my hubby!!! ;) What can ya expect? I am kinda fond of the guy.

For all of my friends in the South!

It is snowing! This is our second snow for the season but this one is heavier than the one that came on Thanksgiving. Beautiful! We are suppose to get about 4 inches today. Who knows, maybe there will be more. Schools have been let out early also.

This morning we had to make an emergency trip to dollar general. We were out of diapers! Anyways, we got home as the snow was really starting to pick up. Aaron wanted to play outside in it. I told him that would be fine cause I knew he wouldn't last long. He had his hat down so far because he didn't want his ears to get cold. LOL! I think he was aiming to keep even his feet warm! Check out the pics. The ones of Aaron were taken shortly after the snow started. The next were a couple of hours later and still the snow is falling. Hmmmm...Peace. Everything is so quiet outside. I am ready for my hubby to be home, safe and warm.

Trimming the Tree

We finally slowed down long enough to put the decorations on our Christmas tree last night. Reactions were different all the way around. Dad was just fine sitting on the couch and taking pictures, I was putting hooks on the ornaments, Aaron was eagerly putting the ornaments all in one place at the bottom of the tree and Aiden was checking out the latest toy sales in the newspaper and could care less about the tree! Now the roles between mommy and daddy switched on and off through out the evening. I ended up on the couch and Rick ended up helping Aaron move some of his ornaments in fear of the bottom tree branches touching the floor and then the whole tree would follow.
Aaron was just totally thrilled with the whole evening. I think I hung maybe two ornaments and Aaron did the rest. I had a new appreciation of our ornaments because every ornament that came out of the package was followed by oohhhs and aaahhhhs from Aaron. He was totally amazed. Thank you Aaron for your sweet spirit!
Now, I want to explain the picture I am post with this blog. First, do you like the ornaments on the very flimsy looking branch? Aaron is my responsible decorator!
Another thing about my boy, he does either all the way or no way. We were in the dining room the other night and I asked Aaron to shut the tv off so we could sit down and eat supper. For some reason both boys find this task totally amazing and usually fight over the job. I have to now specify which child gets to shut the tv off so there will not be any knock down drag out fights.
Anyways, Aaron, with all of his gusto and speed yells, "Okay mommy!" and jumps down from his chair and runs through the kitchen to get to the living room to shut the tv off. Just before he gets out of the kitchen he smacks his face right on the edge of the kitchen counter in a full run!!! Ouch! I even heard it in the other room! Poor boy! Needless to say, he was a bit whiney for the rest of the night. Ya know, you would think this would make the boys quit running through the house. Nahhhh!!
