I know you can't see it very well, but there are a TON of branches and sticks on the ground. We had some wicked rain and wind come through last night, and even I, who LOVES weather, was a little concerned that our roof would stay on!

By the way, it was 61 degrees this morning here! The temperature has been dropping since then, but hey- it IS winter!

Kris and Kacy made dinner last night- it was ADORABLE when Kacy pulled her chair over to "help" her Daddy!

This will definitely be a scrapbook layout- I took many more pictures! ;)

How many times can you say you've been swimming in January? At least when you live in PA? Kacy's cousin Caitlyn had her birthday party at the VA swimming pool! The water was 89 degrees- NICE!

January 22, 2010

Kacy with her friends Sidney and MaKenna at the iCarly event at Build-a-Bear! They each got an iCarly bear and an iCarly outfit! It was a LOT of fun!!!

My beloved electric blanket controller! Oh, how I love you!!!

I love these flowers that my friend Val crocheted- they make me so happy! I have them right next to my phone, so I see them often! :)

This is what $150 of groceries looks like. Sad, isn't it?

January 18, 2010

Stella-roo and Kacy, just hanging out! :)

January 17, 2010

Introducing.... Hannah Montana!!!

January 16, 2010

Kacy ice skating with Daddy!

January 15, 2010

Kacy still sleeping after her nap. How precious is she???

January 14, 2010

Crab legs at Heisey's Diner! Dinner with Sally! Priceless evening! :)

January 13, 2010

Couldn't live without either of these- truly.

Because Comcast is ridiculous, we had to buy converter boxes for our TVs with just basic cable. Whatever.

Wow! Guess what channel I now get? Weatherscan!!! Woo-hoo!!!!!!!!!

Okay- maybe Comcast *isn't* so ridiculous!

Micah. Sleeping. Need I say more?

Ah- it's good to be a cat!

January 10, 2010

Well, I missed January 9. I was away at an all-day scrapbook crop, and I even had my camera with me! I just forgot to take a picture.

Oh, well- no beating myself up! It's not worth it!

Here is the picture for January 10. Kris is putting a hardwood floor down in the hallway, and he was using a manual saw. Kacy hates certain sounds- we think she inherited my sister's sensitive hearing (yep, sounds good, doesn't it?). She often walks around with her hands over her ears at the slightest of sounds...

January 8, 2010

It snowed a little overnight, and it was just BEAUTIFUL outside! I love when it snows!!! This is outside my kitchen window.

January 7, 2010

This is the first time since we've lived here that we had decorations outside! Kacy said that our house was "so boring" without them, so Kris put some up, just for her! :)

Here are the three trees AND the red bow- love it!!!

January 6, 2010

We usually keep our tree up until the second weekend in January. The needles are REALLY falling off now, so I fear that I have no choice but to take it down sooner. :(

It looks beautiful- I loved our tree this year! :)

Micah can't stand Oreo- he attacks him for no reason over and over again. Poor Oreo's only escape was to the basement, where Micah never went. Until now, of course.

January 4, 2010

Okay- I'm cheating today! I'm sharing TWO pictures!

We were playing Wii Bowling tonight- Kris has a high score of 203! He has such concentration, don't you think?

The other picture is just hilarious, in my opinion! Kacy likes to go downstairs and "work out" with Kris. He took this picture of her- how adorable!

Welcome to my world! LOL

January 3, 2010

I had a whole other picture idea in my head for today- unfortunately, I forgot my camera! (note to self: Keep camera in purse. At all times. I should know better.)

Kacy has more toys than a toy store. That's not always a good thing, and it irks me when she doesn't want to play with 95% of them (yes, it IS time to declutter- thanks for asking!).

This evening, she had all of her Barbies out, and she was having a great time playing with them! She has SUCH an imagination (no, I'm not just saying that), and to hear her come up with stories with her dolls..... it's just bliss.

Here is a picture of her playing with her Barbies. I just love it! :)

Here is the picture from January 2, 2010.

The explanation? Our dryer, that we figure to be at least 20 years old, died around the middle of the month. We had this ONE drying rack to use to dry clothes for well over two weeks. I had clothes hanging everywhere I could find room- the shower rod, the closet, draped over the side of the pack-and-play.... it was ridiculous!

Today, our new dryer was supposed to be delivered. However, Home Depot said they couldn't back up our driveway because of the snow (yeah, really!). So Kris told them to put it at the bottom of the driveway and he'd get it himself. They did.

He backed my van down the driveway, put the dryer in it, and drove back up the driveway. He and his dad then installed it- I've done 6 loads of laundry so far today!

Here is my picture of the day- the final clothes hanging on the drying rack. May I NEVER need it again!

January 1, 2010

One of my goals is to take one picture every day, and post about it here! If I scrap it, great! If not, I have a history of the year 2010! :)

We spent New Year's Eve at the Wike's house. The Purcell's were there, too, and we always have a great time ringing in the new year! Here is our family picture, taken around 1 am!
