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.
