Snowman!

4 and 51/52nds

That's how old my baby is!
Do you remember when you were a child and you would say, "I'm four and half, and then four and three- quarters, and then four and seven-eighths?" Well, our Boo Bear is 4 and 51/52nds years old. Ha!
I'm stretching out as long as I can. I can't believe my baby boy is going to be FIVE in a week!!!

Five next week, and off to college the next, right!?

I love him so.

We all do.

Lil Bit is a Lil Helper

This morning after the boys where off to school and work, Lil Bit and I decided to get outside. We got a couple of inches of snow last night, so we hit the shovels (the 4 wheeler is experiencing mechanical difficulties right now).  She loved it and we rewarded ourselves with a piece of chocolate afterwards.

Happy Anniversary

It's Been A While

I know it's been a while since my last post. I don't know why it's harder and harder to sit down at the computer and type. Life just gets busier, doesn't it? Hmm.

So, this post will mostly just be a ton of photos to catch up on what we've been doing to get through the winter. I don't mind the snow. I don't terribly mind the temps (it hasn't been so bad this year). But, the darkness is definitely a force to overcome. When it wasn't even getting light outside until 11:00 a.m., I was struggling to get the day started. And when we finally did get moving, it was almost dark again. It took a lot of effort to get out and about. And some days we didn't make it. Ha. But there's been a change! It is 5:30 p.m. right now as I type this and it is still technically light outside! Woohoo! This is doing wonders for my attitude. The days are thankfully getting longer here.

I decided at the beginning of the year that I would do a 365 day challenge...to take a picture every day for a year. Yeah, what was I thinking? I haven't been able to follow through on a commitment like that since...ever?! Lol. I made it through January with only a couple of days missed, but then I just stopped altogether. My reason for starting it was because I wanted to really, finally, for the millionth time, learn how to use my camera on manual settings. Well, maybe next year. Or maybe I should be more realistic in goal setting. Maybe a 30 day challenge or a week long challenge would be better. Anyway, a lot of these pics were from the challenge that I mostly took on the automatic setting of my camera or with my phone! Go Figure!

I love these little piggies.

Mom's Club!

Horseplay.

B-man is getting his uniform ready to take an updated DA photo.
He was showing Boo and Bit all of his awards.
I got a little teary. I'm so proud of B-man.

Bowling, bowling, bowling...

Running back to look at the TV screen to see the crazy graphics.

She loved it too.
She mostly loved the bowling tap shoes!

Working on form.

Making snow angels!

More Mom's Club fun.

And that's all folks!
