Coming out of hibernation

I think it's time for an update. No more falling snow, no more ugly sweaters, it's SPRING!! WooooHOOOOO! Here's some snippets of what we've been doing while we were hibernating.

I've been taking some classes in Photoshop and Photography. It's so fun.


By the way, my blog is a mess. Could somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong and why I can't get the words to line up nicely with the pictures? I'm too tired to figure it out right now.

















Bailey got her hair cut. She doesn't like it. Lots of tears, saying "WHY did I cut my hair?!?"

Moki had a birthday. We think she is 11-ish.

Cade had a birthday and we sluffed school to go skiing. Turns out he LOVES it.

Avery learned how to ski too!

Avery decided she needed a makeover after seeing "Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakwell". She was so inspired by Jeanette that she really wants to BE her. She found some purple glasses at the mall, and has been wearing them for weeks. She thinks she looks smart. And her new favorite color is purple.

Girls night out at Disney Princesses on Ice.

Dave and I have spent the weekends working on the basement. I replaced the stinky carpet and pad in my excercise room and painted the trim white.

Now it looks like this, and it's my new favorite room in the house!

Dave continues to amaze me with his handyman skills. Here he is installing a toilet. Who knew he could do THAT? He completely finished this bathroom all by himself. He is a sheetrocker, ceiling texturer, tiler, plumber, painter, finish work, electrician, and oh yeah, the cabinet builder too.
