How cold is too cold????

Jackson and Chase...

Chase lives just 3 houses down from us and he and Jackson play on the same hockey team.  Once these two discovered how close they live to one another they've been hanin' out ever since.  Either Jackson is at Chases house shooting in his garage or they are over here.  Last night, Chase even stayed for dinner...Jackson's first friend over for supper...too cute.

It was -22 here yesterday but that couldn't keep these two off the rink...brrrrrr

And Baba D has been buggin me that I haven't been posting pics of her grandchildren...

so here is a current one taken this afternoon of Mackenzie in her sport shirt wearing a girly headband...she seems to have the same fashion sense as her Uncle Jason...sigh

Hockey Shots.............

I have been neglecting to post hockey shots of Jackson so here are some from his last couple of games...



Happy Birthday Madeleine Jane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maddie turns 4!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADELEINE JANE

It was a birthday party just for Princesses and Mackenzie was in true form.  Yep, you do not need to fix your computer screen~Mackenzie is in a dress AND stockings and to finish off the look, a beautiful Princess Crown.

  Oh, and one more thing...she's playing with baby dolls.

It's hard to believe the girls are already 4...

So Jenn, do you have something you want to share with the rest of us?

Pretty in Pink

Today I had an "ah-ha" moment with my camera...

Just a little something I've been working on...

I cannot decide which one I want to enlarge...hmmmmmm

and no they are not the same...post processing is different in each picture



Have I Ever Mentioned Just How Much I LOVE Winter!!??

Time to Catch up....it's 2011!!

 2010 seems to have literally gone by in the blink of an eye.  I feel like I've been on the go with my motor running on high~especially in December.  Really, I'm glad to see 2010 go.  It has been an emotional year..really at times it rather sucked,( but don't get me wrong...there were some good times too) and I hope that the new year can be filled with happier memories created with family and friends.

Right now it's time for some down time and a catch-up blog.  I will be brief and let the pictures do the talking:
1.  Christmas was great~good food and Santa was way to generous
2.  The flu bug hit us hard and poor Mackenzie got the worst of it.
3.  Mackenzie was actually excitied to put on a dress...NO REALLY!!!
4.  Jackson is spending every moment he can on our backyard rink--pictures to come
5.  Skype is one of the greatest inventions making it easier to connect with family..oh yeah...and uncle Vince I expect to see you on the next Skype hookup!
6.  Mom and Dad are almost done with the house~~now if only Dad could get the shitters to work we can have a huge house warming partay!  WHOOT WHOOT!
7.  I have to work tomorrow and Jayson gets it off...what is up with that?!
8.  New Years was spent with family.  Jackson and Mackenzie got to skate with their Papa in the very same rink Papa (Jayson's dad Dennis) taught his boys how to skate.
9.  OMG I turn 40 this year..yikes!
10.  this is a list of randomness (if that's even a word) for my sista wife cuz she loves lists...hee, hee!

OKAY, OKAY...HERE ARE THE PICTURES YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.........
