Sun and Snow make for a Beautiful Day!

After yesterday's darkness and snow overnight, it was wonderful to wake up this morning to blue skies and sunshine! We did get a bunch more snow overnight, but it's breathtaking outside!!!

Taco Invention....

We love taco's at our house! A friend of mine does "Taco Tuesdays" and I am thinking we should do the same thing! I usually do soft tacos; I just warm them up in a pan. John's mom has always done small corn ones, that she fries up in oil and puts on paper towels. I've tried it a few times, but I can never get them to come out right, so I just don't do it. John decided he wanted to try it, so he made a "drying stand" so that we could have them folded like restaurant taco shells. I think it worked out great! He built it with left over pine at the job!

Let it Snow!!!

Here are some pictures I just took from our front porch.....we've got at least 14 inches out there right now..probably more!!!

Rub a Dub Dub...Who Needs a Tub????

Jacob has totally outgrown his baby bathtub...it seems like ages ago! I have been bathing him, with me, in our spa tub, but when I'm pooped out that seems like such a big production! I have to get in, Daddy has to hand him to me, then Daddy has to come back in later to get him out of the tub so I can get out of the tub....I love taking baths with him but I tried plunking him in the kitchen sink and he LOVED it! He's also been clapping for a while now, and has just started doing the "Queen" wave and I happened to get it on camera! Yippee!

Christmas Preparations!

We had a great time trimming the tree! Unfortunately I haven't used the camera in these "darker" times with lights etc. and most of the pictures came out bad, but our tree looks beautiful!!! Justin and Jacob (and Daddy) had fun taking a break and playing with Daddy's hat!

Jacob on his gym.

I just can't resist posting pictures of him when he is being so cute :-)

Some new House Pictures

John put the "mantle" part up on our fireplace and I think it looks great! Now we are just crossing our fingers that the TV will fit up there :-)

This is the shower/tub in the boy's bathroom.

This is showing the framing on the doors and closets.

This is the detailing tile in the master; as you see it matches the boys' bathroom and the master shower!
