SNOW
Ok, who ever is shaking the snow globe can stop now...we ended up around 13 inches of snow. It started Thursday night with everyone and their brother at the grocery store buying whatever they could get their hands on. Friday morning I got up at around 5:45 to see if this big storm to hit and we had nothing. I got on the computer and checked the weather and the BCS site and the storm was coming and the schools were already cancelled. So, I talked to Jonathan & Ho and went back to bed for a few. I took the girls around 8:30 to the Bear's and headed to work. Without a problem I got to work. All day long it keep snowing and snowing. Called to everyone and was finally told to come home. So I headed home...the long way, it took me 45 minutes to get to a 10 minute usually drive. It keep coming down, I was at the Bear's and was talking to Jonathan and he was stuck on the interstate..it looked like a parking lot, After 2 1/2 hrs he was stir crazy. He finally found out that they would not be able to clean up the rd until the morning and he called Ho to come get him. Dad had asked if I needed anything he could bring home for me and that was the most important thing I could think of. So, HO drove to get him and they got home around 8. We had dinner and then a big slumber party. We all sleep at the Bear's bed & bagel inn. We got up and played in the snow & hung out all weekend. We have a few tubing trails, a beautiful snowman outside and a fire inside. I give it 4 stars ****, if you are in the area you need to stop by!
girls on the run
Sam is in a club at school called Girls on the Run. It is for 4th & 5th grade girls. They talk about growing up and exercising. At the end of the season the girls and their buddies do a 5K.. I was Sam's buddy but I don't run real while. It was cold and windy. It was in the 30s but we had a great time. Goody's hair product company was there and they colored our hair and fix it (couldn't see it because we all had hats on)...I would have done better if there wasn't so many hills.
Man Im out of shape and old...run Forest run
4 H bake off
The girls did a 4 H bake off with the help of the Bear & Ho. Tori made fruity cupcakes and got 2nd place, Jenna made shortbread and she won 1st place, and Sam made sourdough and won the cloverbud award. They all had a ball! Way to go!

Christmas help
With Christmas here everyone is out helping everyone get everything that has to be done before the 25th. Jonathan helped with the gifts, the girls with baking, the Bear taking everyone where they needed to be, but I got some extra help the other day with putting up the Christmas lights. Monty wanted to put his paw in and help out.
Bristol lights
Jonathan took the girls and I over to Bristol motor speed way to see the track in lights. There were over 600,000 lights and we were all uuuuu...ahhhhhing. It was like nothing I have ever seen before. In the in field they had a little Christmas village set up with rides, a bonfire to roast marsh mellows, food, & Santa. Yes I talked everyone in getting our picture taken with Santa after Sam talked to him. We had a great time watching the weather to make sure we didn't get snowed in over the mountain. Before we went into the lights we all rode the Chill Hill snow tubing out front. It is a 300ft slide that the was cool. You would get on your tube and they would push you down and you would go flying by. It was a amazing night.

mud dogging in SC
You know you might be a redneck when you go out and play in the mud. We did that last Saturday with a few of Jonathan's friends. We packed up and headed to South Carolina to go ride the trails. Everyone came back safe but covered in mud. It was so fun and we got to see some rock climbing while we were out there. We can't wait to go back.
nemo on ice
The Bear called and asked if I know that Disney on ice was coming...do you think the girls are to old? I said how cares I am not. So the girls and I went to nemo on ice. It was so amazing. This is one of my favorite Disney stories. I feel like Dory so many times. The skating was cool but the costumes and effects were amazing. You know I speak whale... fish are our friends not food...dude you have to let the little squirt ride the current...you made me ink... I don't think you are ever to old to enjoy a good Disney story.

Christmas Parade
I know it is not even Thanksgiving yet but the girls and I went to the Christmas parade this past Saturday. Only in Asheville can you see roller derby girls and llamas in the same parade. We got lots of candy and even a coupon for a free waffle from the waffle house..life is good. It wasn't real cold but my butt was frozen after it was all over and the jolly old fat man rolled by. What a great way to start out the holiday week!

family gathering
Ok, when you say we are all getting together the first thing out of our months is where are we eating. We got to go to Quaker State & Lube...a chicken wing place. We use to go to them when we were traveling the US, they are from PA. Very good. We all got together to celebrate a few birthdays, I know we were a little late. With every one's busy schedule it is sometimes hard to all get together but we all did. So we celebrate a very late B-day for Tim and a week late for Ra. We all had a great time and left very full.

carved pumpkins
We did a carved pumpkin contest to raise money for relay for life. We had a table set up and the pumpkin that raises the most money wins a pizza. The winner gave the pizza to the lambs group at the church. We raised about $25.00 for the funny farm's account. Craving for a Cure!
