Snow and New Found Love :)

Well we finally got snow at our house. I'm not very excited about it but I can't complain because this winter has been spectacular to drive in. Kamdyn FINALLY got to play in the snow! Each night when Troy picks her up, she begs him to put her down. So he does and she takes off to the snow.....with no snowpants or boots of course. Then she proceeds to throw a fit when Troy catches her. So she was in heaven when she finally got to play. And yes she ate some of it too...not any yellow stuff though :) She giggled when it would touch her lips. It was so fun to see her play in it since last yr she was too young to go out and play.

I have to say that I have found a new found love.....so long facebook, I am so over you! Now on to Pinterest :) If you haven't had the experience to log on, you should. It has so many neat ideas for EVERYTHING. I have created so many things from that website. There are many neat recipes and I cranked out and Troy and Kamdyn loved them too so that's a plus. I've made Chicken Cord On Bleu Casserole, Chicken Enchilladas, and a Taco Ring. I have many more to try. Also, this weekend I made a center piece for my cousin's baby shower next weekend and also 2 wedding towel cakes for showers coming up. I have to say they turned out super cute. I can't wait to make more things! This summer is going to be great when I have a lot more time on my hands.

We've had a couple of fun weeks. Last weekend we had one of Troy's cousin's little girl's 1st birthday party. That was fun to get all the kids together minus Kamdyn's fat lip. She thought it would be a good idea to sit on a balloon and it popped and she ended up with a fat lip. Then that night Troy and I had a night out for his Pepsi Christmas Party at Zenos. It's always fun to get together with all those people each year. This weekend has been pretty low key. Kamdyn, Sonya and I went to get shower supplies yesterday. Then last night we got together with the Guthries for supper. It's always fun to get our kids together since 3 of them are less than a month apart:) Now on to another week. I hope everyone has a great WARM week!!

Paul Bunyan and His Deer

I am happy to say that Troy got his deer for this season! YAAHOO! This past weekend him and my brother went hunting in Winterset with a friend of my brother's. That is where Troy got last year's deer too. He was there all weekend and got it right before dark Sunday night. I am stoked for the deer sticks and jerky! He was gone from Friday-late Sunday and Kamdyn was really missing her daddy. She was wide awake at 6:30 Monday morning (day off for MLK day) and I was not happy. She didn't get the memo it was a vacation day. I think she was hoping to catch a glipsy of daddy. He got home after work that day and she was so excited! We took her out to see the deer. Her first response was, "PUPPY!! ruff ruff!" It was so funny. Here are some pictures of her and the deer.

Flower Girl

I know what you are thinking, "wow 2 posts within a couple weeks!" I am hoping to update our blog more often...kind of like a New Years Resolution :) Well we are all back at our regular routines of school, work and daycare. Kamdyn was VERY excited to get back to see the Bergman girls. We walked in and it was instant smile/scream/mom let me down! We are truely blessed to have Megan and her family. It's so nice not having to worry about her during the day because we know she is in great hands and loving every minute. I on the other hand, wasn't ready for break to be over yet. This year has been a very ROUGH year. I am counting down the months until May. My motto at school continues to prove itself true.....If it's going to happen, it's going to happen this year. Each day what gets me through is knowing I have a wonderful family to come home to each and every night.

I forgot to post last time that on Christmas Eve, Kamdyn was asked to be in Troy's cousin, Brandon and Tiffany's wedding. We are super excited and very honored she can be a part of their special day. They asked her in a very cute way. They had a shirt made for her that said, "Flower Girl in Training." We are very excited for May to get here for their big day! I posted a picture of her in her neat shirt.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week!
