new coverage...blizzard '08

we were starting to feel a little house cooped yesterday-
so thad decided we should suit up in our snow gear and
check out the outside world (aka our back yard).
it was fun watching mister trying to plow his way through
5+ inches...not so sure he thought it was as amusing as we did?

us in our snow outfits (in the back yard)

gotta love a SUPER frosty pbr

the blizzard of '08?

we woke up this morning to a total winter wonderland....
just when we thought we were going to get a break from
all the winter weather- another storm is on the way

benny sitting

this weekend auntie jess had the pleasure of watching ben for
a few hours while his parents had a little date nite.
he was such a good boy, and so super cute i couldn't resist taking
just a couple photos (sitting up and everything!!!) is this little man
cute or what?!!

hot stuff

poor mister...the subject of our constant, but loving harassment.
here he is last weekend when we decided to make him wear ben's
bib and sit in his new baby seat at the table. you can tell he's loving all
the attention...

kali is kool

kali's parents sent us some super cute new pics of her---
she is getting SO grown up these days and her newest
trick is rolling over?! super advanced and extremely cute.
