A REAL Photoshoot

Reading & Ropin'

I happened to walk in after a nap and this is how I found Wylie:

 what a smart kid!

Attempted Photoshoot (February)

So, my mother-in-law is an awesome photographer and usually does Wylie's pics, but I had the urge to try myself one day and this is what I got...

and that's a wrap!

Let it Snow! (Back in January, well, February and March too!)

So we've had LOTS of snow this winter and Wylie saw most of it through the window until I got her all bundled up and attempted to make a snow angel!  She wasn't really into it though...maybe next year!

One of the snow storms was so bad our power went out at 7am and was out all day.  I watched the temperature in the house fall a degree an hour.  Joe, being the good Daddy that he is, wanted us to go to town and stay with a friend if it didn't come back on by 4.  So it didn't, and we got all packed up and into the truck - at this point there was at least a foot of snow on the ground and it was still coming down hard.  We got to the back side of the dairy and there was a car stuck blocking the road.  So I freaked out a little and told Joe to turn around and that I didn't want to go anymore!!  So we got all unpacked out of the truck and back inside.  Thankfully it was the right decision, the power came back on a little bit later!
