Family

On a beautiful Spring Morning we stayed at Mom-maw's to attend church with her.

I hope we didn't confuse her too much.

At church Goldie was in a mood for matching.

Both her mother and her cousin! Happy Spring!

Gregg & Amber's Visit

This Beauty

This beauty of flower bloomed at our house nearly two months after Christmas. I think its supposed to be a Christmas flower, but I just started watering it right after Christmas when I saw green shoots coming up. So it was our post-valentine's day flower. It kinda reminds me of the Christmas Presents I usually send months or year later!

It sure was pretty.

The Mostest Snow

We were at Mom-maws and got more snow than we'd had all winter. So we went out to play in it.

At first we had lots of fun, but one by one I lost them to the coldness of it all.

These two turned back, not far after beginning up the holler. I told them to stay together and I went in search of some snow magic.

It was beautiful

But NOT the the inspirational, awe inspiring trek I'd had in years past.

And finally I realized why. When the construction crews came and built the road they took the nature and moved it ten feet back on either side. After walking three quarters of mile I arrived at the old road, found that it enclosed me once again like a mother hen, and I was inspired by the crunch of snow and the feel of light and cold combining in one ethereal moment.

With all the fanfare we could muster

We recently celebrated Ammon's first birthday.

We decorated cake
 
and cupcakes.

He opened presents such as toys and froggy blankets.

And then we sang.

And then we ate.

Happy Birthday one year old boy! We love you.

Get over it Mom!

I'm taking my shirt off whether or not you think I'm big enough.

So There!
