What's With The Mess

What would make my kitchen look like this.......
Boxes and trash everywhere.......

And all my furniture in the garage.......
Check in tomorrow.

Chinese New Year.........In China!!!!

Ron is still in China on his first rotation.  Check out the pics of his new city!  Way different than his offshore platform in Nigeria.

He says there is mud everywhere.

Foot bridge to town.

Fireworks on Chinese New Year.  I could hear them in the background when we skyped.

New Toy

Christmas 2012

Just a few shots of this year's Christmas morning!

 

 

 

I know this one is unfocused but the shot does show the chaos that was Christmas morning.

Abby got a donut maker and treated us to a yummy breakfast!

California

I have finally found a minute to download the pics of Mark's boys we took on our recent visit to California.  It was a crazy time.  Loading all their possessions into a moving van, waiting for the house to close so we could get the key and finally moving into the new house.  Once all our nerves recovered, it was time for the boys to become acquainted with their new home and just have a little play time.

Here is Ronan in his superhero cape.  Notice the GQ pose.

Archer and Grandpa in the TV room relaxing.

Odin in his new room.

Ronan again.

It is great to have a grandpa who helps a superhero get ready.

Odin checking out his toy box finds.

Time to go shopping for a few things!  Doesn't Archer look excited?  We had such a great time visiting Mark and his kids that we can't wait to go back soon. 

Wind and Snow

This is what I woke up to this morning in Ohio after a stormy night of high winds and rain/snow.  So pretty and we sure got off easy when you consider what the rest of the east coast went through. 

No loss of power and no flooding.  Just a drop in temperatures that had me running to the thermostat........and a cup of hot chocolate. 

Hebron Car Show

Well, The Blue Pony went to it's first car show......It was at the Hebron Arts and Music Festival.  We didn't know how we would do because wet went up against some beautiful cars. 

We passed the time until the judging was complete by shopping at the festival and eating.

Eli

Abby got inside for a picture op.

She was in her soccer uniform because she had been in the parade.

And look here.....we actually won!  Couldn't believe it! 

Tomorrow we hope to go to First Friday and show off again.
