Hello Spring in February

It's absolutely beautiful today! High near 60 in February, what an awesome gift! The last few days after been awesome. Claire even got to walk around outside for a little bit both days, she was very happy. Although she wanted to get to her sandbox but that was still buried by the piles of snow that are slowly melting in our yard. As of right now, most of the snow is gone, all 22+ inches we got a couple weeks ago, so our yard looks more like a swamp but hey, the snows gone! I did notice that some of my plants are starting to bud, I love that sight! Means Spring isn't too far off but we're from Chicago, so we will take this special days, wear our light jackets and have the sunroof open! I know, we all know this won't last, I'm betting snow is predict or at least cold temperatures are coming our way again before we can officially say, "spring has sprung"! I love spring in February but again, who doesn't! Happy Thursday All!

We have a somersaulter on our hands (video to come)

Happy Birthday Baby Brother

I just wanted to send a shout out to my baby brother, Kyle. There were many years we did not get along. I would say from the time he was 10 to about 14! Now at 22, he's one of my good friends! He's funny to be around and an all over great guy! I'm proud to have him as my brother! Love you dude!

Enjoy some pictures of him:

Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Birthday 26th birthday to me and Happy 19 Months to Claire!

Today, Claire and I grabbed a Starbucks, did a little shopping and now are having a little lunch. We will be going over to my parents today for dinner and cake. Tomorrow night we are going out for Mexican (my favorite) with a group of good friends and then Saturday we are going out to celebrate me and my brothers birthday with our parents, Eric's parents, Kyle's girlfriend and her parent's. Then Sunday (yes, it's never ending) we are having dinner at Eric's parents house with his siblings and grandparents to celebrate me and Eric's sister's birthday! It will be a nice, busy and fun birthday weekend!

Wordless Wednesday

This was taken this morning at 9:30 - 3 to 4ft snowdrifts all over my yard!

The snow start back up right after this picture and we have probably got 3-4 inches more every hour!

Now it's noon and it's still coming down!

Blizzard 2011 definitely didn't disappoint anyone!

Blizzard 2011

Blizzard 2011 is coming....

Since Sunday Chicago and it's surrounding areas were put in a blizzard watch. I'm kind of excited to see if they are correct with all the snow they say we are in line to get. I've seen for my town (we live on the Illinois/Indiana border) any where from 18-28 inches of snow. They are comparing it to the massive snow storm of 1967. I really do hope we get all the snow, it's been forever and a day since we have had that much snow! The snow is suppose to start tonight and go all the way through Thursday morning! If we get a massive amount of snow like they say, pictures will be posted! 

Batten down the hatches and head to the store....

Here are some pictures from the blizzard of 1967:
