Snow, snow, and more snow!

Happy Leap Day and probably the most snow on record in one month. I think the second highest snowfall recorded in Feb, for those of you who like statistics.
In the background is Elder Tod, playing the piano and singing rock songs as LOUD as he can!! I guess that's how he relaxes, but in our small house... need I say more? Less than a week left for him to leave, I will miss that boy. Phoenix, I hope you're ready.
I have a lot to be thankful for, especially my patient husband and all 8 of my wonderful kids. Each one adds so much to my learning about life. And those grandkids are the light of my life.
Rock on!!!

Granny Gross

Trying to get a good pic of grandma wasn't easy, but these aren't too bad. Wish she could enjoy these, but at least she still knows the kids. Cousins Abbie and Alexandra share a laugh with granny. Don't know how many of those she has left.
Gross is really my maiden name, no joke. A few years back, we found a Ghostbusters figure named Granny Gross that opened her mouth wide and looked really GROSS, when we gave it to Mom she laughed and laughed. We miss your sense of humor, Grandma!

Birthday Buddies

Two snow days in a row, and two birthdays coming up. Abbie, 10 and the Valentine Boy, Tod, turns 19. His last birthday in Ohio for a while. I guess I had two children born in February to beat the winter blues. These two are always good for a laugh. Happy birthday kids!!
