New Year's, Snow Days, and One Sick Grandpa.

I am behind on my blogging. This past 2 weeks, to say the least. I forgot to blog about what we did on New Year's Eve. Matt and I are on the Entertainment Committee at church and each year the church books the local bowling alley and celebrate the New Year with our church friends and family. It was really fun and next year Matt and I are in charge (just writing that made me kinda nervous). Anyway, we are soo glad and blessed to have such a great church community, especially the girls having kids very close to their ages.

New Year's Eve...Some of the girls talkin strategy

Go Grace

January 1st we had a surprise birthday party for my dad and my aunt the both are/have turned 50, so we HAD to have a party. They were both surprised they each thought they were attending the other's surprise party. We sure did get them...unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of my dad and aunt. But we had a great time.
Here are some pictures from that night.

My cousin Deanna and I

The last time we took a picture, we were about 7 months pregnant with the two lil darlings below.

The KING Lives;) My brother found the Elvis Mask.

The next couple of pictures are some of what the girls did while on break and the Snow Days.Izabelle heading up the steps to slide down. Grace putting more snow on the slide

Snow Angels Girls getting ready to go outside. Gitty Up!!!

Grace, Matt, and I were playing UNO one evening and we looked over and found Miss Izabelle fast asleep on the floor.
Well Matt was away on a Tractor Pull over the weekend, the girls and I decided build a tent, so here is our finished project.
The girls watching Pippy Longstocking.

We enjoyed being home and not doing anything at ALL!!!

Also over the past week, my grandpa became ill. If you could please say a prayer for him, he is still in the hospital, but says he feels lots better. Matt and I went to visit him yesterday and he seemed to be getting some of his humor & stubbornness back. He did get a blood transfusion and he was happy to hear that he would soon feel alot better after that. Matt also got him laughing alittle bit by teasing him about his Dodge truck. Him and Matt have always tease each other about each other's trucks. My grandpa is a Dodge man, while Matt is a Ford man, so you could see that they love picking on each other. He is suppose to be getting a bone marrow test done tomorrow. The blood specialist isn't liking the look of his blood but doesn't think it's Acute Luekemia (sp?), PTL! We won't get the full results until tomorrow or Wednesday. So we will be making trips to the hospital as well as checking up on my grandma. She is at home by herself and she has health problems of her own. So, if you could say a little prayer for her as well.

Until Next Time, Stay Warm!!!

God Bless
