Gpa's 80th Birthday!

So here are a few snaps shots of the last four or five days. the second one is pretty significant to me (James, me and a stuffed green bear) because I have long teased James about winning me a prize at a fair. One of the things I told him when we started dating (eons ago), was that i was so excited he was a QB because then (clearly) that means he is great at fair games and should be able to win me lots of prizes that i can later give away. haha. finally, on April 6, 2013, he won me a stuffed animal prize!! no, we weren't at the fair, but we were at a dive bar in Small Town, Minnesota and he won it in one of those arcade games called Clean Sweep... also known as "The Claw" for those of you who love the movie Toy Story. Anyway, it was a really fun trip to the dive bar, big family photo, and grandpa's birthday celebration. definitely a great trip!! I love my family!





BLINC brand voluminous mascara...not worth it, save your $. sorry Blinc.


at the Side Bar in Cold Spring before Grandpa's 80th Birthday Party...
my quarterback has finally won me a prize! 
of course, it is a CHEERLEADER! hooray!


Cool Cat Olivia on our way up to Grandpa's...this kid has it ALL!



Grandpa's Birthday cake! MMM! Marble...it was so yummy!

We are forecasted to get 6+ inches of snow over the next 36 hours...so far it's dry outside, about 38 degrees. I cannot believe we are getting SNOW so late in the year! What the heck! it's a major bummer, but as long as spring gets here in the next couple weeks I think I will be ok. :) maybe. Sure am getting impatient though! I am so tired of putting on a jacket and gloves every time i walk Nash!! (I tell ya what, in a world where our worst worry is about the weather, i would say I am pretty darn blessed. you can't control the weather, so you may as well deal with it the best you can. things could be much worse...so I'm counting my blessings here!)

It's tuesday! workout it done for the day, so it's an evening i get to spend doing whatever i want!! wahoo! probably finishing taxes! holla. jealy? 

haha, didn't think so!

happy shoveling!
