Time Flies

I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged! Sorry!

We went to Big Bear last weekend to get our fill of winter. It was SOOOOO fun! We actually rented a teeny, run-down cabin, kicked back on Friday evening, went skiing on Saturday (it was Carlos' first time!!), and we were blessed with snow actually falling while we were there. The kids woke up on Sunday to see snow falling. They raced outside and played in the snow for a couple of hours. Then we packed up and went on a hunt for chains. By the time we left (around 1:00 p.m.), the kids were beginning to realize that snow is not just fun and games, lol! They were complaining about the cold and wind--and, frankly, they were just a bit scared that the car would crash.

Here's just a few pics to share:

This is us (minus the "photographer", lol!) at the ski resort grabbing a bite of breakfast before the L-O-N-G process of buying tickets (that included lessons!), and getting skis, poles, and boots in time for our lesson. We had a blast!


These are some pics of the kids sledding down these tiny hills made by the snow plow outside our cabin on Sunday morning.

And here's what I've done as far as layouts of our mini-vacation:


That's a photo of the cabin we stayed at.

and that background photo is the ski resort we went to (yes, I know, bad grammar, but ... oh well!).

HOW FUN!! I love that we live close enough to winter/snow we can make a quick trip up there when we want a 'real' wintertime! So glad you had snow falling while you were out in it. The pictures really show how much fun you guys did have!!

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
