Snow Baby!
I suck. Sorry. I have about thirteen posts planned but have been away visiting the folks so none of them are finished. My niece turned one on Saturday, which means in only nine weeks the boy will be 1. Can you hear me crying from where you are?
Back soon!

I’m ba-ack! Did you miss me? (Don’t tell me if you didn’t ~ my feelings get hurt easily.)
Remember when I mentioned we had a crapload of snow last week? Wanna see?
This is compared to this:
in the summer.
It made for some crazy driving, which always makes me really nervous because the BG drives on highways a lot for work. He, thankfully, was able to be flexible with his schedule and postpone some trips for nicer days.
We live in chinook country so it’s crazy ass windy here now but the roads are completely clear. That’s why we were able to travel this weekend to visit my parents and celebrate my niece’s first birthday. The boy had so much fun playing with his grandparents and he had his first chance to play in the snow since he learned to crawl!
and my mom dug out my old horsie to see what he thought…
He was definitely intrigued! It takes a lot more balance than any of his ride-on toys, but he’s got great coordination for his age and he stayed on.
We left the BG at home for some “alone time” - he really missed us so was very eager to play when we got back. My two favourite boys are complete insanity when they’re together sometimes…
We’re off for our daily walk with the dogs to check the mail and explore the neighbourhood!

I’ll try to be back much quicker this time - I’m swamped over at TOP so come on over and enter all of the great contests! There are several valid this week and many more to come - I’m posting every 2 days, including weekends, now to try to catch up!

It really does go by fast! Just yesterday we were at a bday party and my friend looked at Kayla and said is she really going to be 4 soon? (um, yeah, but in 5 months so don’t rush it!) then she said “I’m really not handling that well!” LOL

Aww. . .he looks so precious! The snow looks beautiful. I can’t believe it’s already been a year!

I guess we have to remind ourselves to keep enjoying every moment… I know that doesn’t help, but it reminds us to take advantage of each second, which I know you all do out there.
Lucky little guy. 
We don’t have as much snow as you do at the moment - I did hear on the news tonight that it’s cold enough to kill a lot of the summer bug larvae! That’s a good thing!

I hope you enjoyed your walk! I love the snow but I really can’t wait for spring time to come. Hope you enjoy the snow while it lasts.

My God, you have an adorable child! But that snow? Suddenly Florida doesn’t look so bad (ask me again in July…lol)

Snow is pretty, but I can’t handle the cold or wet.
First birthdays are so hard on mommies. Just keep in mind how fun it is to watch them smash cake.
So cool your mom kept that toy, Rylan seems to like it.
