Snow Days and Catch Up

I have no time for blogging these days. Life is busy busy busy!!! Here is a quick catch up on our crazy life!!

Chris and Kristen are busy planning for their Oct. 2012 wedding. I am going with Kristen in a few weeks to start looking for a wedding dress. Things are moving along and we are all very excited to have Kristen join our family (although we feel like she is already part of our family).

Justin and Ashley have settled in to married life. Both are busy working in the city. They have purchased their first home and are very excited planning out all the details. The builders should break ground hopefully in March/April once the ground is warm enough to start digging. They should be able to move in to their new home around August/Sept. It will be nice having them live 15 minutes from us and Ashley's parents.

Kenny and Amanda are enjoying life after college. Amanda is busy working on her modeling resume and landing a few acting rolls along the way. Kenny is interviewing with production companies. He just got a call back with a production company in the city to read for the lead roll in their up and coming play. Kenny also has an interview with Second City. We are very excited for both of them as they work towards living out their dreams.

Tyler is working hard at school and enjoying college life!!! Tyler is taking his second semester in "Italian". He is loving it and has caught on rather quickly. I understand Tyler's Professor has changed Tyler's name to Vincenzo. Tyler tries to come home when he can...Miss Addison gets to missing him and is very sad when he leaves to go back to school.

Livi is in 3rd grade and working very hard in school. She loves to spend time on the computer, working on art projects and she has become a master at Kinnect "Wipe Out". Wipe Out is one of Livi's favorite shows...she laughs so hard when she is watching that show...and begs me to go on it..I think not! (although it would probably humor my family).

Addison is in 1st grade and doing very well. Addison is our little dancer. She is currently enrolled in 4 dance classes...ballet, tap, jazz and hip hop. I spent many many hours freezing my butt off on the bleachers through out the boys sporting events..it's nice to be sitting in a warm dance studio for a change.

As for me...I'm busy being a Mommy and running my small business Chasing Dreams. I am very excited to be going to Vegas in February for WPPI with my friend Michelle. It will be a fun week of learning and hanging out with a good friend.

It appears that winter has finally hit! The girls were so excited to finally have snow to play in. Livi is in her glory when she is outside in the snow..she could stay in the snow for hours!!!!! Today we are getting slammed once again with a big storm..I'm sure the girls will help us dig out tomorrow.





Miss Livi is an expert in snowball making!!!!








And you are wondering what Miss Addison is doing with her tongue hanging out....catching snowflakes of course! Addison spends more time trying to catch snow flakes then any other kid I know...





Addison cracks me up with her hat pulled over her eyes..I don't know how she sees a thing.



The lumpster is in her glory in the snow!!!!  What started out as a nice "let's build a snowman together" quickly turned ugly..as soon as Livi had a shot at Addison with a snowball..she took it!!


Hope everyone is enjoying the winter season!!!!!!! I'm trying to find the beauty in the snow and the cold...but I admit, it's not always easy to do...I think I would rather find the beauty on the beach some where.

You need to come on down south. We have the best weather right now...high in the 70's and sunny. :-) So happy to hear you and your family are doing so well.
