A Year Gone By

Yikes.

My kids got a glimpse of a picture from this blog today, and started scanning it like crazy to see what else was on it. Now that they can read and operate a computer, this little bloggy thing has HUGE appeal to them.

And of course, it has sat untouched for roughly a year.

Bad Mom.

OK let, see.... we had Halloween:

We had our family pictures taken

We got two 3-wheelers (don't ask)

We had Thanksgiving at our house

We welcomed a new nephew - Mason Dudley!

We had a Superbowl Party - GO PACK!

We made a HUGE snowman

and
I went to 'Tony & Tina's Wedding' in my crazy zebra dress

I think that gets us up to speed. Sort of. Missing a lot of the fun details - but this will have to do. :/

My life in Pictures

Since I've missed quite a few postings over the past months, I decided there's just no way (or time) for me to create back-dated posts for each event. And since a picture is worth 1000 words, I figured this would make up for lost time. Enjoy!
