Now that's some snow....

After last years disappointing show of ice....these two were very happy to get the real thing this year. Even the schools and businesses didn't believe we would get as much snow as we did. In fact, many people ended up spending the night at work, school and so one the side of the road. It all happened so fast! Snow flakes started falling, then the temperature dropped. People were stuck! Thankfully I have a 4-wheel drive and we don't live on any type of hill. We were able to spend quite a few days comfortably at home just hanging out and playing in the snow!

Our cute little house covered in snow!

The front and back of the house.

Snow angels in the making....

Snow angels!

Tree house snow.




Even the dogs had a blast running through all this fluffy white stuff!


Puppy love.

I got him!


The snow got a little to deep for this one. Someone had to pick her up and carry her or she would have disappeared!

The creek was so peaceful!



Now those are some sweet, lovable faces!!


Shelby Ann kicks it into 4-wheel drive.


Now that's the way to travel in this mess.

Beautiful trail before the 3 wheeler tracks!

Muscadines


I just love our "camp" sign entering the woods.

And now its time for some fun. our neighbor has the best hill around for some sledding. Heck I think he even provided the sled. This is what snow days are all about!






Mommy even got in on the action.




One of my favs. The fences just add so much depth to the scenery.



My modeling divas. Little Bit wasn't as into it this time around. She wanted to play in the snow, not pose in it!









Snowman time!






That broke out into a snowball fight!


Great snow days with the family. Thankfully we were able to go play in the snow and come back in to get warm.  No power was lost and we enjoyed every minute of being home!


Treehouse update

The amazing treehouse is coming along nicely. With a handrail all the way around, mommy feels much better about letting the girls play. They now have stairs going to the top bunk where Daddy will soon build beds. I think these two will be spending lots of time in this tree mansion....I mean house! ;)

It's 2014 and we're off....

New additions to the garden areas and I couldn't be more thrilled. You know the Woodsman can't sit still and he uses every minute of these nice weather days to get a head start on growing season. This year we have added a lot of new raised beds for hopefully a better crop. Can't wait to see them in use this summer!

These two beds will be the new home of all of our tomatoes. Yummy. I can taste the BLTs already.

These four beds will be for green beans, cranberry butterbeans, various greens and herbs.
And check out the start of the greenhouse next to the chicken pen!

The most exciting addition is our hoop house style greenhouse. It will be small, but it will help provide a place besides my kitchen table to start all of our seeds. Big plans for this small area!!

Another project we completed this year was the driveway. Whoohoo! No more gravel and bumps. This just made the front look and feel complete!




Miss Priss turns 11 - HaPpY BiRtHdAy!!!







I know I say it every year, but man where has the time gone? This beautiful girl.....I mean young lady is amazing. Fiddle lessons, choir practice, being a straight A student in the honor society and girl scouts are just a few of the things that keep this one busy. We are very lucky to have this responsible, fun-loving chick in our family!

 
This year on her actual birthday, Miss Priss had a school choir performance. So as usual we went out to eat afterwards, but this time we let the birthday girl choose the place. She picked Awful House, I mean Waffle House and we all ate a wonderful dinner!


 
Someone LOVES her big sister!
