Drastic measures

Saturday night, 2/22/15 snow finally took out our TV viewing.  Well, I sweet talked Rob in to going outside to clean off the dish.  Poor thing walked out with his boots barely on and pants not quite tucked in and the snow came up almost to his knees!!!!! LOL!!!!

2015 February Snow

Made Debbie Carter's chicken noodle soup one night.  Boy it was good!!!

Snow days = Slug days

Alex was tired of TV so he set up his army base in the living room.

January Cousin Sleepover

Started the night with Little Cesar's pizza and bread sticks.   Yum!

Then we got a little sugar rush of KK.

Then frick and frack played dressup.  

Alex had a couple dates.

Ellie was thinking Lily needed a lesson in style.

Sleepover continues....

Bath time.  Lily got a bath too but later with Emily.

Love this one!

Girls striking a pose for Granny in their matching Christmas photos.

The faces are priceless!

I am not kidding, this DID happen.  They were watching a movie while I was making their beds and I came in here and found her out cold .  So precious!

The first and probably the LAST TIME this will happen.  :)   Lol!

Little girls with Emily.

Old Blue

Well tonight, January 12, 2015, Old Blue hit a milestone.  She rolled 100,000 miles.  I took her off the car lot brand spanking new and together we made it to the huge milestone.

I know it's silly, but this car means a lot to me.  It was the first big purchase I bought after starting my first REAL job at Timber Truss.  I started at TT in June of 1998 and got Old Blue in August of 1998.  Needless to say the car lasted longer than the job....

Rob and I took this car on our honeymoon.  I drove it until I couldn't get out of it when I was about 9 months pregnant with Emily.  Eventually it became Robs car to go back and forth to the a Food Dog.

She is not too good in the snow.  I've had a few times where I questioned if I'd ever get home when I got stuck at work when it started to snow.  But with prayer and "peptalk" she got me home.  I can't remember any scary moments while driving her.  I always kept in mind that her tail can get loose if it's rainy and if need be I could blow the doors off most anyone I wanted to . ;)  I've managed to avoid getting any tickets while driving her.  My dad and Rob say that's a miracle!

Well, I'm thankful she's paid off (with a little help) and she runs well for a 17 year old Stang!  I pray we'll be able to hd onto her so that the Yearout Mustang tradition can continue.  Maybe after SEVERAL years of practice I MIGHT let Emily and Alex get behind the wheel.
