What We've Been Doing

Wow it's been a while since I've posted!  My life has gotten even busier than normal and there never seems to be enough hours in a day.  I'll try to get caught up on a few things.

Last Friday we had some friends over for dinner, the Smith family.  Before dinner most everyone went ice skating at Liberty University's ice rink.  It sounded like they had a really good time.  It was great to spend some time with this special family.

Over the last few weeks it has been snowing on and off but we haven't had any snow that amounted to much lately. 

On Thursday nights I am attending a girls Bible study with people from the college and career class from our Church.  We always have a good time and we are going through a really great study of Ephesians chapters 1 and 2.

I've also been working on my new website design which has taken a lot of my time.  If you'd like to take a look you can go to http://www.ashleyscreativecakes.com/

The kids have been keeping up with school and their music lessons.  Today I helped them make gingersnap cookies for their cooking class. 

With the cold weather it's been encouraging for me to hear everyone start talking about our beach trip comming up this spring.  Yeah!  There's an end in sight for winter!

Super Bowl Party and Even More Snow

We have had even more snow the last few days!  I just can’t get over this weather!

We decided to buy some sleds since all our old ones had broken. Unfortunately everyone else in Lynchburg had the same idea so we had a very hard time finding any. I think my Mom called all the stores around and everyone was sold out! Finally we stopped at a little hardware store and they had two sleds left. Someone had put them on hold and never come back for them. Everyone was very excited and had lots of fun with them when we got home.

Sunday night we had our annual family super bowl party. Babum, Nanny, Grandpa and Grandma came to watch the game with us. I’m not a big fan of football but the guys enjoyed the game. My favorite part is always the food LOL It really was a fun evening and I’m so glad the weather was good enough for everyone to come over.

More Snow

The last few days have been very different for us Virginians.  We got another big snow last weekend and we are continuing to have wintry weather throughout the week.  We are definitely not use to this.  I think every one has enjoyed it though.  When you are snowed in it forces you to take time to rest. 

The kids have enjoyed playing in the snow and this time I even went sledding.  It's been a lot of fun but I think I am ready for spring!

Here are a few random pictures for you to enjoy.

Snow Days

This week it snowed at our house.  We got about 14 inches which is very unusual for Virginia.  I never remember having that much and definitely not this early in the year.  I heard that we haven't had this much snow in ten years!

The kids have had lots of fun playing in it.  I hear it is great for snow ball fights!  I think everyone was glad they were off from school for Christmas break so they could enjoy it!

Because we live in Virginia and it doesn't snow like this very often some of the roads were slippery.  Many of our plans were canceled including the Christmas cantata at our church.  I had made a very large cake to bring to the cantata  practice but since it was canceled we will be eating a lot of cake over the next few days! 

We were unable to have an evening service at our church because of the roads too.  So, we went over to Grandpa and Grandma's house and spent some time with them.  Daddy and Tyler shoveled their drive way for them while we were there. 

Both Grandpa and Grandma seem to be doing better as far as their backs go but please continue to keep them in you prayers if would.

Snow Day

Everyone thought spring was coming early this year with how mild the weather has been then last night it started snowing. This morning we woke up and for the first time in about three years we have four inches of snow! Tyler, Amber Trent and Trey loved playing in it (so did the dogs)! Amber, Trent and Trey have gone sledding and had snow ball fights with Tyler.
