Look Who's 5 Today!

I know I say this all the time but WHERE DOES THE TIME GO????? How did this kid get to be 5 and going to preschool? This little boy is going to be sooo interesting to watch when he grows up. He is THE most energetic, driven, competitive kid I have ever known! As a very wise Amish woman said to me a couple of years ago at my garage sale while I was dragging Luke kicking and screaming away from the road because he wanted to "GO BY MYSELF!" ..... "If you can direct all that energy in the RIGHT direction that little boy will be quite successful one day!" All I was thinking at the time was ...You want him? Bring him back when he IS successful! But she is right, of all my grand kids Luke is by far the biggest handful but we all need to see his positive side and that is how he NEVER gives up, he is always trying his hardest and on his good days which are much more than we give him credit for, he is the sweetest most polite, caring little boy who loves all his cousins so so much. So a huge happy birthday Lukey, we love you!!!!

1,2,3 & 4 /52

Two of my daughters have started taking a "picture of the week" and I thought I would join the fun. I'm hoping this will get me off my butt the rest of the Winter and get me out to walk more. During the Summer I walk at least an hour every day and this Winter has gotten me close to being a couch potato, not good! So now I need to play catch up because I am behind! So these next 4 pictures I took this past week and 2 of them I was actually outside, one was from my window of my jeep (I had the window down so I think that counts for kind of being outside) and one I stuck my head out my door-it was early-early in Wisconsin is REALLY cold!So wish me luck, hopefully I can keep this up til Spring, then it'll be great to be walking again!


I should thank Courtney for this one, she called and woke me up or I would have never seen it! And yes, this one was from the patio door! Brrrr!

This one I was playing with my flash at night while it was snowing, it caught the snowflakes pretty good.

Out of the window of my jeep--open window that is!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Winter!!

Xmas and a Birthday.....late!

This Winter has got me really sluggish, lazy, bored. You name it, I just can't seem to keep up with the few posts I should be doing. So here goes with catching up. Hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their New Year. I myself.....can't wait til Spring.



















 And a very BIG late Happy Birthday to my awesome hubby! Thanks for putting a smile on our faces every day! Love you!
