Weekend With Friends

We had our good friends In North Carolina come for a visit last week. Their dad had some work meetings close-by , and the kids were out of school Thursday & Friday, so the family came along for the visit. The weather, of course, was rainy(as always seems to be the case when they are here), but we made it outside...



for a few rounds of duck-duck-goose





and some bubbles



We filled our week with crafts, baking cookies, watching movies...oh, and video games for the big boys and a much too late night(G-r-U-M-P-y!!)!

Saturday we went took everyone to the movies and watched The Tooth-Fairy(7 out of 10 of us thought it was cute)and had dinner at Longhorns(yum).



Thanks for coming Ouzts Family....MAYBE next time it won't rain!

License to Drive

We have a new driver in our house...





Even though she was VERY nervous and almost took out a pedestrian on the way in, she passed with flying colors!



Congratulations Miss. Kates!!

Snow Day

Everyone gets excited around here at the thought of snow, especially after last year when we were only suppose to receive a few inches and ended up with 6-7. It doesn't happen very often, so when it does it's a real treat! Yesterday it was predicted we might have some snow/sleet, so everyone was very hopeful. However, we ended up only having a very little dusting and a 2-hr. delay.



Ryan was still happy with that. He got out early & played in the small amount that managed to still be in our yard this morning. Kailtyn & Cody chose to sleep in instead of enjoying our few flakes.

Static

We've had a lot of static electricity in our house lately





Ryan thinks it's funny to give everyone the shock treatment, so he loads himself up several times a night & searches out his unsuspecting victims.

Over the break

We cut down trees



drug trees



pulled trees



loaded



chopped

and chopped.



We stacked
