6 months...

Oh... Owee!

6 months is a HUGE difference from not 6 months :)

I feel like we're stepping out of baby-hood & into toddler-hood.

At 6 months you are rolling over... ALL over. In fact you have now mastered it and are figuring out the scoot!

You sit up all by yourself...

you would rather stand than sit...

you smile all the time...

talk all the time...

talk LOUD... laugh LOUD... yell LOUD.

You are a loud child... and I'm afraid you come by it honestly :)

You make us talk louder and laugh louder too.

We SO enjoy watching you grow and discover new things. You light up our little cozy world... and we LOVE it!

valentines...

Happy Valentines Day!

Hope everyone had a fun day, filled with love & chocolate :)

We filled our day with all kinds of busy things. We had a fun day!

Owen got to hand out/mail his 1st Valentines to the one's we love.

And, it all started with one little pink piggy...

(made me think of a little pink niece)

I added a little touch to the piggy, then created an entire army of Valentines for our cousins & Grandparents.

Piggy's for little girls, moo cows for little boys...

sealed with a Valentine wish!

Hope your day was as fun as ours... maybe not so busy though!

icicles (snow days)...

Just thought I'd share some more cold with you :)

The sun was out today, that helps boost your spirits in weather like this.

But, looks are deceiving! You can't stay out too long or your face will freeze off.

more ice...

I hope the sun comes out for everyone tomorrow. It makes me smile...

this little cutie does too!

attack of the hounds (snow days)...

It's still cold, in case you were wondering! :)

Our dogs love to play in general, but something about the snow really gets them going!

snow hounds...

crazy hound...

(this is where the "attack" came from)

And she is straight up CRAZY dog!

the start of something BIG...

We had fun in the snow today... My awesome husband humored me! And, we started a snowman. This is the beginning picture. :)

More pictures from today to come!

Bundle up!!!

snow days...

blizzard?

ummm... yes!

I heard on the news this morning that we were under a blizzard WARNING.

They were right. The word blizzard always takes me back to Little House on the Prairie days. The Ingall's girls stuck out in the snow storm, in some old shack... that's us today!

Only, we're in a warm house, and safe.

I thought I'd give you some ice/snow stills over the next few days!

snow & ice...

icicles...


icy faces...



mmm, warmth...



happy & warm...

Stay warm!
