"Mommy, Can We Play Out In The No (Snow)?" -Lydia

Well, surprise, surprise.....it snowed, and snow it did! We got at least 6 inches last night of wonderful powdered snow. The kids (Jim included) are still out there as I write traipsing around Smyrna. Here's a few pictures from this morning.

Jim decided to get the ski's out this morning and test them out while taking the girls for a ride.



I pulled Rhett around on the sled while he giggled and he even went sledding for the first time. This is the most I could get him to look up, he was too interested in the white stuff.

My Internet Strike Is Over...

Yes, I know, it's been a long time. I get so frustrated at our internet for being slow. There's just not many options in the country. Ugg! Okay, so, I'll give a brief update on what's been going on. Emmy started 4 year old kindergarten this year at the elementary school and loves it. She celebrated her 5th birthday in December. Yes, I have a 5 year old, still can't get over that! Emmy has remained her sure and steady self, always knows what she wants and who she is and is so sweet.



Lydia, wow, I don't even know how to describe Lydia, the one word that comes to mind is firecracker! She turned 3 in January, but holds her own with Emmy. They act more like twins than being two years apart.



Then there's Rhett, who will be 1 on the 26th. Wow, from what I hear of his childhood, I have determined he is his father's son. Some might say he's Mini Jimmy. Their baby pictures are remarkably similar. That boy is into everything, you can tell where he's been because of the trail of mess that follows him. He took his first steps the other day, and I am truly scared, I can hardly keep up with him on his knees let alone his feet. He spends most of his day torturing his sisters by taking the toys they're playing with. My favorite however, was yesterday when Lydia fell asleep on the couch and he woke her up by biting her toes. Yum..I know.



Well, since I've missed half the year, here are some of the best pictures. I'll try to get over my internet snootiness and continue to update the blog.

These were taken in the Mountains this summer.





Yes, I took a giant pot outside and sat my near naked son in it. And, yes, it is the cutest picture ever!



This is right before Thanksgiving, and also right before Emmy decided to cut herself some bangs...I do not wish to relive that day!







These next few pictures are from one of my closet friend's wedding. I was the matron of honor, the girls where the flower girls, and my dad officiated the wedding. All in all, it was such a special wedding, and thankfully, also before Emmy cut herself some bangs!







This is Rhett just before Christmas.



Well, this is the best picture I could get in their Christmas outfits. Boo Hiss!
