It's Time

Well, it's time to update ya'll so this may be a long one. I'm sorry for the lack of blogging. I'm pretty busy nowadays, but life is good. So around Valentine's Day Brad took the girls to a daddy daughter dance, here are the pics:







It snowed a few times, in fact we had some record snowfall this year and they didn't even close school! We had about a foot of snow. I figured out the school board had never seen so much snow that they probably didn't know that they could cancel school and that snow days were called snow days cause you're supposed to cancel school when it snows. My goodness. If record snowfalls don't cancel school, what does?





For Brad's birthday we went bowling. i got a video of Tori bowling, it was so cute. It's pretty dark, but its worth watching, you'll get the gist of it.



We're heading to Kentucky to go for a drive and visit Mark (Brad's brother) and Mark's wife Sarah, who are visiting her family in Kentucky, so we're going to go meet them there and have a blast, we can't wait.

The last story is really hilarious, and I apologize for the delay, but here it is:

About 2 weeks ago I was working at my desk and Abbie was sitting on our bed, playing with some real handcuffs that Brad had from his days of doing transports for troubled youth (that's what he wanted me to tell you the handcuffs were for, I think they make him feel powerful, like he could arrest someone if he had to, but I promise he's never used them on me, I swear.) So Abbie was playing with them and all the sudden she says, "Mom, look what I did!" in a happy/proud voice. I looked over and saw that she had handcuffed her ankles together. I raised my eyebrows kinda like "wow, cool." Then her eyebrows furrowed and she said, "you have the key, right?" I started laughing hysterically because I knew I didn't and I hadn't even thought of that until she mentioned it, and she started crying. It was SO FUNNY. Man, if I had a camera crew follow me around to catch moments like these we'd be rich off of america's funniest videos. You know what I think would have won the grand prize? If we had caught the lizard escape on video. That surely would have won. Anyway, so I had to calm Abbie down and assure her that Daddy was coming home from work to unlock the handcuffs so she could walk. I carried her downstairs to watch tv to distract her so she'd stop crying, and that worked, and then she waddled her way around downstairs until he came home about an hour later. It was classic. Sorry I don't have any pics, I'll get better at that.
