The Piano Lesson

Today at 4 pm, I gave my very first piano lesson to Rebecca Blake! :) I was so proud of her, she is a great player, and her excitement with the piano makes me want to go and practice, practice, practice!!! I was so happy that I just had to blog about it! :) I hope that everyone else could have as good a day today as I've had! :D

Also, I just had to post a thanks SO MUCH to you, Kristie, for helping me out with staying calm! You are a big help to me!!!! I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful big sister! Thank you for talking to me three million times today when I had questions, "What about this, and what about that?" I miss you! Thanks for everything!

You Gotta Love Texas!

I woke up like normal this morning, ate breakfast, and took my morning shower...but just as I was getting out I got the lovely announcement from Daddy that "School's cancelled!" These pictures above (courtesy of Daddy... I sure didn't go outside with a wet head when it's 20 degrees) are documents to our "Winter Plight." :D

Imagine my surprise! It was around 20 this morning when I got up, but since I hadn't seen much ice or snow, so I figured that school would go on as planned. Nope! Weathermen in Texas are going crazy over the "severe ice storm and bad winter weather." Yay for crazy Texas people and weather!!! After I post this, I'm headed back to bed for some more shut-eye. I hope everyone has a great day! :)

Vacation Kentucky-Style!

Since Blogger doesn't post the pictures in order, let me start off by saying that Brian requested this specific picture of him be posted (it was his favorite...he is trying to scare Auntie M by being a monster...). Brian is such a cute guy! :)
I'm having soooo much fun here!! :) I'm loving spending time with everyone! Here's a picture of Weston...I'd thought I'd post this pic because Weston is just like--Me!!! :D He loves to read, and has done so quite a bit! I'm impressed by how well he reads!

This is Kristie trying to get a picture of Amber saying "Ta Da!" Amber usually climbs up on the chairs (and sometimes--if she's fast enough--the table) and turns around to someone and proudly declares, "Ta Da!!" She's so cute, and so is my big sister!!! :D

Here's a picture of Amber several days ago when she was using her hamper to pretend to be a "Ghostie"...she walked around saying "rawr rawr rawr rawr" trying to scare us as Ghostie Amber! :)

This was Weston around the time he went to Cub Scouts showing me his "cool moves." He's so funny, and such a great big brother!!! :)

I've had such a great visit, and tonight Kristie and I are going for a girl's night dinner at Ihop! :) I love Kristie!! Barth is going to hold down the fort while the kiddos are asleep while we enjoy our dinner! And maybe, if we're lucky, we'll get to see some more snow while we're out tonight!!! Thanks for sharing your kiddos, Kristie! I'm having a marvelous trip!!!

A Visit With the Best Sister In the Whole Wide World!!!!

I've been at Kristie's house for three days now, and am loving it!!! :D I'm having so much fun playing with everyone and talking and doing hair (Kristie lets me do some pretty crazy hairdo's on her)! :)

We had snow yesterday and last night, so I also got to go sledding with the boys out front!!! (It was sooooo much fun!) Plus, we've had quite the snowball fights...apparently everyone likes to gang up on Auntie M! :) I'm so glad that I got to visit the best sister ever this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks, Kristie!!!! Thanks, Momma and Daddy, for my amazing Christmas present (the chance to fly out here and visit)!!!! You guys are the best!!
