Maybe you’ve heard the term already, but we’ve been in Snowpocalypse 2012. (Don’t know what that means? Check UrbanDictionary, of course.) I’ve been posting about the snow but I’m not sure you out-of-towners really know what we Puget Sounders have been going through the last few days. (Melodramatic on purpose. Promise.) I started on SaturdayContinue reading “Snowpocalypse”

JT’s goal for today was to build a snowman. The weather warmed a little and last night’s snowfall cooperated, leaving us with perfect snowman snow. Before lunch we walked to the park and came home to build our snowman. I looked over and JT was tearing branches off our Japanese maple tree for arms. Whatever.Continue reading “Snowman Day”

We’ve had a little snow the past few days. It really, really snowed while we were in church and JT was hoping we could build a snowman when we got home. There wasn’t as much snow at our house so we weren’t sure it would be enough. After nap, we went outside (in the dark)Continue reading “A Little Bit-o-Snow”

Friday morning our friends Gracie and Tyson came over to play extra early. So we stayed in our pajamas and had pancakes together… yum! I don’t have any pictures of that, but I do have pictures of the play time that followed. Reading in the armchair Gracie loved building really tall towers with the blocks.Continue reading “Pancake Pajama Party”

I remember really wanting the game Hungry Hungry Hippos when I was little. So when I saw it this Christmas, I bought it for JT. Sure enough, he loves it. The problem is that Haley loves it too, and she kind of sabotages the game. She is soooo excited to put the hippo food backContinue reading “Hungry Hippos”

If you don’t follow college football, you are woefully behind on how we spent our weekend – decked out in crimson. Alabama played LSU for the BCS National Championships on Monday and we started gearing up on Sunday. Here is what the kids looked like at church. We got a lot of comments, especially consideringContinue reading “Roll Tide!”

JT finally got to go shoot his new BB rifle this week. Jim and JT went to our friends’ house and used their large backyard for target practice. JT did a great job and loved it. He shot balloons and cardboard. 🙂 

We went to Portland last weekend for a memorial for one of Jim’s extended family members. While that is a sad occasion for a visit, we had a wonderful time with our cousins, aunts, uncles, and Great Grandma Hall! Okay, so the kids are tired in this picture. Some of the great grandkids Laughing withContinue reading “Portland”

Suddenly Haley loves hats. This is humorous considering her previous obstinate aversion to anything on her head. It has also been so fun watching her play with her new toys from Christmas. So first… How cute are her pigtails? Getting treats out of the oven Yum – spaghetti!  Here we go with hats… Watching forContinue reading “Hats”

So… I joined the 365 Project. I figure I take a bazillion pictures a week anyway, so I might as well become more purposeful. I love the challenge of trying to capture a day in one picture. Plus, you get some great photo tips and ideas to try. Here goes! http://365project.org/bkeene/365
