HOLY SNOW FALL !!!

Go away now if too many pictures is not for you.  This post is picture heavy!!  So we had our first Iowa snow fall.  Logan was in BOY heaven.  Loving the snow and not so sad over the days out of school either.  So Rick and I actually went and got snow clothes to go and enjoy the fun with him.  AND YES INDEED RICK ACTUALLY WORE A COAT AND BOOTS !!! So all bundled up we head to go sledding.  The first day we went was torture walking in the cold, wind and snow.  The hills were a bit too wet for good sledding.  I thought I'd die before we made it home.  My chest hurt, my lungs were on fire and fun wasn't in the vocab.  So the second day we drove and much better.  The snow was iced over and packed down better and off we go.  Logan and his friend had a blast.  Rick had fun.  AND even I had fun( if you can believe that)  I looked a bit like a bag lady -- but who cares.  Of course, there was a ramp-- but noone told me how much that sucker hurt.  I went flying over that thing, came off the sled, and pounded down into the snow -- and let me tell you my OLD body is just not made to do that.  My back, neck and shoulders still haven't found the right alignment!! A few times down was plenty for me but the boys just didn't wear out quite as fast.  So I had fun being photographer and enjoying the glee of the kids and Rick.  All FUN !!  I now have muscles aching that I didn't know I had but it was cool.  AND I was never COLD!! We were all so bundled up that we were sweating!! So without further ado.... PICS GALORE!!!
 
 
 
  If you actually made it this far--- Happy Holidays to Everyone!! Can't wait to see Everyone soon.  BETH!!!

SCRAPBOOK PAGES

Happy Thanksgiving to all!! Well I got motivated to scrap some pages,FINALLY!! Not quite sure why. So some of these are old photos and some are from this year. I can't believe my BABY is 11!!! I don't know how time keeps going so fast!! Iowa is finally getting VERY COLD!! No snow yet HOORAY!! but it was bitter today. I will be glad to have a few sunny days in Fla. soon. Logan had a nice yet quiet birthday. No party, no excitement. Presents with the family and dinner out but nothing too over the top. He got embarrassed when the servers at Applebees sang Happy Birthday to him. He got a set of golf clubs, a punching MAN(not bag) boxing gloves, some books he wanted, a Tommy 20 dart gun, 2 PS 2 games he wanted and some gift certificates. Not bad. He has been pretty happy here and seems to be doing well with all the adjustments. His report card was great and he has started his social skills therapy on Mondays. He is playing basketball with his classmates and Rick is an asst.coach which helps him out. He seems to enjoy it although he is not a great athlete. I am looking forward to watching his first game and will be sure to post lots of pics. Well enjoy the scrap pages. Talk soon. Beth
