MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Ayva and Cheyenne had a great morning opening gifts from everyone. Thank you so much to all of you for giving to their Christmas.

Denver here we come!!!

For those of you who don't know yet, we are moving to Denver. We will be moving January 4th. We are excited for a new adventure but also sad that we are leaving family and friends.

Thank you to all of you that have helped us with this stressful time we really appreciate it.

Doughnuts continued!!!

Just wanted to inform you all that we did not eat all the doughnuts.

Doughnuts, doughnuts and more doughnuts!!!!

Have any of you ever been to the bakery department at the grocery store when they are getting rid of the doughnuts? Well I was at Hy-Vee tonight and I was sniffing (ha ha ha) around the doughnuts deciding whether I need one or not and the lady came over to get rid of them. She looked at me and said "Ten for a $1." I thought she was joking but realized she wasn't so me thinking "Oh my gosh, that's the best deal I've ever seen!" How silly is that? How many doughnuts do we need between two people? And do I really need to eat any of those? Certainly not but it's a curse, doughnuts are my favorite treat. There was this guy that heard what she said too so he dove in there and said, "oh my kids will love this!" And as I got in there I said,"Oh my husband will kill me!" So I filled up the box with ten doughnuts and then I saw another doughnut thinking, "well that one looks good too, and that one too, oh and I have to have a sugary twist one and so on." How stupid is that?!!! Again, how many doughnuts do you need between two people? So the lady and I counted them up and I got 20 (I'm so embarrassed to even write that) but yes, 20 doughnuts.

As I walked off thanking the lady for thousands of calories in a box I saw that she only put $1. So I got 20 doughnuts for $1. Isn't that just sick and wrong?!! The funny thing is after the first one I have I'm going to be sick of them. Isn't that funny how we do that. You have something that you love so much, you get a good deal on it, think that it's the greatest thing and you take more than you should have in a year! Well that's what happened to me tonight.
FYI...We are not going to be able to eat all of them (at least I hope) but I'll keep you posted.

I hope my stupidity brings laughter into your life.

Have a good one and enjoy a doughnut once in a while!!!

ICE STORM

For those of you who have not had the pleasure of experiencing an ice storm, this is what happens! There's ice everywhere.

This is looking outside our back door. We had snow

and then the ice storm came and now there is a layer

of ice on everything.

Those are power lines behind our house.

Because of all the ice, last night we lost power. It started to get cold so the four of us went upstairs (hot air rises) to sleep together.

Ayva had a great time jumping on her mattress.
