My poor family in Wyoming!

My family in Wyoming is in the middle of a GIANT SPRING BLIZZARD! Last count was over 14 inches of snow! Here are some pics that my Mom sent me. Here in Virginia we planted flowers and vegetables in the 65 degree weather today! haha. First pic is of moms front yard..second is her dog Legicey lying in the snow, and third is Mom's boyfriend GARY shoveling the snow.

Attacking the toy basket

Looking at the new farm animal toys

I am a nanny during the week to two adorable baby boys. Torin and Caleb are only a few weeks apart and are 8 months old. They are so cute, and starting to get more mobile...so they keep me on my toes. Its so much more fun to be able to stay home, go for walks to the park, and play with blocks than it is to run a classroom....and I'm having a blast! Here are a couple pictures of the little guys!

What a wonderful trip to Washington DC! Our bestest friends "The Nutters" from Kentucky came to visit and we had a fabulous time! First we went to the IMAX showing of Dinosaurs "Giants of Patagonia" at the Natural History Museum..then we walked the 2 miles down the mall to the Capital Building and got to tour it. How beautiful it is! There are bronze and marble statues (2 from each state) all over the place, and we had fun looking for Kentucky, Wyoming and Alaska. I took over 100 pictures and here are a few of the best ones! Sheri , Lance and Cameron Nutter and Lance's mom MaryAnn....Daron, Hannah and I left at 8:30 in the morning and got home at 6pm. We took the metro and then had lunch in Chinatown at our favorite restaurant. If that place ever closes down we dont know what we are going to do haha. What a great day! Enjoy the pics!

Virginia's first HUGE snow!

The snow is coming down! Its freeeezing and we have about 6 inches so far! The dogs are hilarious to watch in it. Matilda (who lived with my Mom in Wyoming for 3 years while we were stationed in Guam) LOVES the snow. She is in her element! She rolls in it, bites it, and burys stuff in it! She is impossible to get to come back inside! THEN..there is poor Daisy who we bought in Guam. She HATES the snow. Keeps her eyes closed almost the whole time she was out there! She only stays out there for 2 seconds..and then comes whining at the door! It is hilarious to see how different they are! First pic: our backyard. Second Pic: Daisy with her eyes closed in the snow Third Pic: Matilda totally content to stay out in the snow for hours! Hope you enjoy the pictures!
