Catch up...

I know it's been a while since I've blogged, things have been crazy around here. I'll try to do a little catching up.

Spring is here! We had these pretty flowers all over our yard.

Too bad the grass is still dead.-lol

One weekend we visited the Oklahoma City Temple

This was our first time to attend this temple and it was great.

A quick little smooch at the temple.

Our nephew Jerrin from Colorado was visiting Ed's parents

and loves his birthday dinosaur.

Happy Birthday Jerrin!!

For those of you who don't know, this is my new ride as of Friday.

(My other one was black. Not going to go into the long story.)

Remember that tree...

I don't know if you guys remember that tree during our recent ice storm, that almost fell on my car before I moved it. Well... Ed "cut it down to size", literally. :)

My silly husband...

A Mardi Gras Valentines

This Valentines Day we spent it with friends in Bossier City, Louisiana. While we were there Valentines Saturday, we enjoyed the family Mardi Gras Parade. It was very fun and we caught TONS of necklaces. Here's a few pictures of our fun with friends there and our "Mardi Gras Valentines."

The Valentines I (Tiffani) got the Friday before we left for Louisiana.

Ed loving his chocolate Valentines fish. So romantic...

Ed got me a Valentines turtle. He's so cute, I love turtles!

Our friend Tamara and her son Bradley enjoying Valentines Treats at Chili's.

Ed & I at the start of the Mardi Gras parade with only one necklace each that we bought.

One of the many Mardi Gras floats.

They are very creative with all of the floats.

There seemed to be endless themes to each float that came by.

Ed, my friend's husband Ed and their son Bradley catching necklace after necklace.

At the end of the parade we had so many necklaces that we caught, we looked like Mr. "T"!

"I pitty the fool!"

All of us at the end of the fun Mardi Gras parade.

Pay it Forward

My sis-n-law has a great idea, so here goes.

Here’s how it works–the first 4 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise!
The catch is that you must participate as well–before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back, let me know you’re going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember that only the first 4 comments will recieve a gift from me, so be quick!

Snow Day...well, Ice Day...

(Sorry for all of the pictures, but there is no way to describe this Winter weather without them.)

Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning we got lots of freezing rain here.

We were amazed how ice was sticking to...everything.

It went from this Tuesday evening...

to this ice and snow mixture Wednesday morning.

So needless to say, Ed and I had the day off from work.

(Tuesday evening)

Ice started weighing down one of our trees I (Tiffani) park next to. I decided to move my truck because the branches were already starting to lean on my truck.

(Wednesday morning)

Good thing I did! Now the tree is touching the ground!

We lost our DirectTV signal, I wonder why!?!

Couldn't be the 3 plus inches of ice on it?

Having no televison signal inside,

we decided to enjoy the beautiful Winter weather outside.

The ice is sooooo thick on our branches!

We also decided to warm up the trucks,

since they were covered in ice and snow.

We are most definitely not in Texas anymore!

I think this weather is just getting us acclimated to snow and ice

since our plan is to move further north.

Ed having fun scraping off a thick layer

of ice and snow on his truck.
He just couldn't resist eating ice/snow. :)


"Once there was a snowman, small, small, small..."
(well something like that)
This is our attempt at a snowman on the back of Ed's truck.


We decided to play snowball baseball with all of the snow and ice.


Our pitching skills aren't the best, but we had tons of fun.

This is one of the smaller icicles from the side of the house.

I wonder how long this awesome Winter weather will last.

Hope...

Today, history was made and we have hope again.

Thank you Circuit City!!

I'm sure most of you know that Circuit City is going out of business. Well, we took a little trip over the weekend to Tulsa, OK to the Circuit City going out of business sale. We went there especially to check out their prices on tv's. I'm happy to report we are the proud owners of a new RCA HDTV flat screen TV. The tv we had before this one was free with the purchase of our entertainment center (that we purchased from a friend) and has worked well for us, but it was a deal we couldn't pass up. We went from a 27" to a 32" television. Not a huge change, but everything we watch is most definately clearer and brighter. Movie night at the Wilbur's!! :)(Just kidding!)
