SNOWWWWWW

 So we have had about 12 inches of snow. Its very pretty and I am done with it. We also had the flu mainly Siri and me. It was terrible!!!!!! I felt like death. But I have to give props to the guy in the next picture. He went to food city everyday, did many dishes and loved on three little people. In some ways the snow was a blessing. It forced him to stay home from work. It slowed down my work and I laid it bed. I would have much rather been well....  Jon has told me he is ready for me to be back to being "momma" we all know what that means.

  Way before Snow and FLU, Ilse went to work out with me. WE had a good time. How often do you get to box your host mom?? So we took a few pictures! haha We had a good time. Even with my pink boxing gloves!

Addison LOST her FIRST TOOTH!!

I told Jon when he got home that we had a tooth that needed to be pulled. I felt like this was something that daddies took care of. Clearly he felt the same way I did, that it might just come out on it own.... 
Well the girls thought they could do it. But after trying decided to leave it to the apple. A good bite of the apple and it flew out!! So here are a few pictures of the big girl! Who also got a visit from the tooth fairy. (Which is very hard to pull off in an old house!)

Crazies

I rarely get to be in pictures, so I took one of us. I love this guy!

 I cooked this crazy guy his favorite superbowl foods.

 Hint, Hint......

 This costume will never get too small. We still love it.

Ilse locked Siri out.... I have to watch these girls! It was 20 something degrees outside!

Helpful Kids

Here are a few pictures of the kids helping. THESE kids LOVE to HELP!!
We ran into my office to to grab a few things and Talon found opportunity to help while he waited on me. Addison made a few notes for my desk which are so special!! Best notes ever!! In the last picture Talon is holding the wood for daddy while he cuts!

New Exchange Students Come to Town

We now have students from Finland, Italy, Brazil, Germany, Norway, and Ecuador and Denmark. We have 4 and three more came last week! They will be here till May! (When I saw we I mean Big Stone Gap, the area, not our family. We still only have our two wonderful students. We just let the girls have a little welcome party.)

This girl..

 This is Sophia at her eye doc app. She insisted that Lion sit with her. We are so pleased with her new doctor. He does great with her and at her last visit she was 20/20 on her vision, with her glasses on.

Sophia, has many bags... she stuffs them FULL and drags them around. She then hangs them on her bed at night. She says I need my things to sleep. haha. Smart girl. One thing she also loves is HOMES magazine. We think it is because she looks for me in the book, but it might just be her natural love for shopping. One thing for sure, she knows what she likes and she lets everyone else know too.

Shopping Day with Nana and Memaw

 We shopped till we dropped and we really almost did. We did not eat till 920 something. So tired! The kids passed out before we made it to the interstate they were so tired!

 Siri had other plans Saturday so we sent her a few pictures along the way. Ilse, was not too pleased with my idea to take a picture of her and her ice cream.....

 This girl however did not mind one bit!!!!

Sophia was on the look out for Nana.
