My mom called me yesterday and asked me if I had my phone on speaker phone? I did not but quickly did so. I let her know I now did. All of a sudden I could hear Ethan playing his Violin. I guess he had been practicing, and wanted me to hear him (or grandma wanted me to hear him). It was nice though. They asked what songs he was playing and I got them right. So I guess he must be doing pretty good. Just had to share.

Well, I have not posted for a while so I thought I better write something. My mom is down in Florida helping my sister out, so that has left me the not so fun task of taking down all of her snowmen and putting her safari decorations back up. Well if you know me at all you know I am not a decorator, so I am not enjoying this. Call me weird but I found some pictures she had taken and I am trying to fix it by those. The problem I have run into though is that I have pictures from a couple different times and she had changed some of her stuff around in the pictures. So I had been looking for one giraffe that I thought went on the counter and I could not find him. WELL, that is because I had already placed him somewhere else. OH, MY!!! This is so not fun. But I am plugging away at it nonetheless. The good thing is I think ALLLLLL of the snowman are packed away. Except for the plates, I think I will leave them for now. Well, that is what I have been up to, well that and all the other normal things that go along with everyday life.

My sister Sarah was able to come up on New Years weekend so we were able to have some fun while she was here.

Mom showing off her new cell phone cover.

Dad with His new cell phone cover.
Ok, there is a story that goes with this picture. My dad was goofing off, which is not unusaul, when I was trying to take this picture. So we always tell him to not ruin the shot. So he was acting "serious" and I snapped the picture. Or so I thought, as soon as he started to move the package the picture took. It was too funny!

So dad taught her to goof off in pictures too.

Christmas morning at our house. I had to work so mom and dad wanted to get up early and do a little Christmas before I left for work. Which by the way was 5:45 am.

Dad was pretty excited to get a cell phone. He said " Now I am in the 21st Century." I thought maybe he would think it was to hard to figure out thus not neccasary. But he has really enjoyed it so far.

Mom getting some homeade dollies.
