SNOW DAY!!!!!

Notice Roxy in the photos, she loves the snow most out of anyone in the family. She is definitely a snow dog. I think she wants us to ship her to Alaska, that's probably why she is SOOOOO naughty. She chewed up all the sleds about a half hour after this picture was taken.

The girls got to experience their very first snow day in Ohio. There's been a lot of hype surrounding snow days and the girls were able to experience first hand why they are SO fantastic yesterday. Sleeping in, NO SCHOOL, and playing in the snow!! They went to bed knowing that 5-8 inches were forcasted to fall through the night and through the next day. LO, and behold, God delivered. We are now living in a winter wonderland. They were so excited, but I have to tell you, yesterday's snow day came after Jo being home sick all last week and Taylor coming down sick last Friday. Someone has been home sick with me for a week and a half and Jon was gone all last week. I just about skipped to the bus stop with all of them going to school today! Yipeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now I get to tackle the millions of things I should be doing right now and maybe go for a run. I love being me right now!!

Tahlia is going to the championships

Tahlia is finishing up her winter swim season with championships next week. She is swimming 6 events- She will be swimming all four strokes in 25's and two 50's in backstroke and freestyle. She was so funny when we told her what she was swimming. You would have thought we had told her she was going to be running a marathon. She is a great little swimmer but the season has run a little long in her book. She will definitely swim on team this summer and this has been a great experience. Here are some pics that mom took while she was here.

Jordan is on a roll

A winning salute with a first place vault!




Just wanted to put out an update on how Jo has done in gymnastics. My mom was out visiting a couple of weeks ago and was able to go to 2 of Jo's meets and experience what it's like watching her first hand. Sometimes nerves get the best of her and for all her preparation, she is so disappointed. Other times she absolutely nails it and is beaming! Here are a couple of pics. When mom was here she absolutely rocked on the vault and got the top score of the whole meet with a 9.4. At her last meet she almost reached her goal of getting a 9.0 and better on all events. She received on vault (8.6), bars (9.2), beam (9.35), and floor (9.35) with an all-around score of 36.5.
