Snow and Igloo memories in the making!

This has seriously been a record breaking winter, in my adult life at least.  The amount of snow we got has been unbelievable!  I do love me some snow.  It brings me back to my childhood.  My dad, who is still, such a kid, would play with us for endless hours, he'd build us the biggest igloo's, the best snowmen and he'd push us down hills to sleigh ride for HOURS on end.  After being outside, we'd come into my mom, getting all our snow clothes off to dry, and having some good hot chocolate with cookies (she never leaves out the sweets!).  I can only hope that what Ry and I are doing is going to bring them a lifelong of happy and fun memories that they will live to do for their children as well. 
SO, with all the snow comes snow days (well some, other days trying to drive safely enough to get into work).  The really bad week was the first week in February.   
We went outside to play when all 4 of us were home with a snow day, SO FUN!!!!
LOVE these little snow bunnies.
We had SO MUCH SNOW that I said to Ryan, you should really build them an igloo!  I always tell the girls, when it snows, how my dad used to build igloo's for us.  I feel like we haven't gotten a big enough (with the good snow) storm to do it, until NOW!  So, after contemplating he decided to do it.  So he started shoveling and shoveling and shoveling to make the huge pile. 
Husband/father/steamfitter/igloo maker....
I decided to take the girls in the back to sleigh ride a bit so he could build without them jumping all over the pile.  This makes me LOL, Mya with the sled in one hand and beach pail in the other.
so much snow!
Mya was having fun shaking this tree and just sitting under it to get all snowed on. 
AND.....the igloo has been hand crafted!!!!
It is freaking awesome!  Ry did such an amazing job.
WHOOOHOOOO!!!!!
When Mya first saw it she said, but daddy, I wanted 2 entrances....REALLY KID?  But Ry didn't hesitate and made a 2nd entrance.
chillin
Helping daddy finesse it.
Ash was busy eating snow.
How freaking awesome is this?!!!
We even had a snack in the igloo.
The next day, back to work.  Mya was taking pics out the window on our way to Marys.
Another day, another snow storm!
SOOOO, some more snow time!
I mean, can you even take these eyes?!
I had to stop and take this pic, just looks so beautiful to me.
Literally this is how February felt....the entire month!
Just when you think it's done, it starts again!
SOOOO....today is supposed to get up to 60.  It's Tuesday the 11th of March.  Thursday, it's supposed to snow!  Go figure!

Happy birthday Nunu!!!!

I feel like I am so out of wack with my posts.  Things are so out of order this past month.  WHOOPS!  I didn't pull out my actual camera alot, so most of my pics are from my phone.  It's just a hot mess.  Plus, we really haven't had tons of things going on cause Ry has been working crazy hours again. 
Anyway, we celebrated Nunu's birthday on Feb 5th, her actual birthday was the 1st, but that's when we were in Long Island on the wine tour. 
The girls were so ready to help her blow out her candles, of course!
 Making their wishes!
 CHEESE!
 We hope you had a very happy birthday Nunu.  Love you tons.  xoxo

Happy 4th Birthday SoSo!

Our adorable niece, Sophia, turned 4 on Feb 17th!  They had an amazing mermaid party for her the day before at their house.  Mimi and Jen did such an amazing job with all the decorations. 
So many adorable pinwheels throughout the house of this cutie pie, through the years.
They made those cute little fishes too, SO SO SO SUPER CUTE!

LOVE
They didn't miss a thing.
Seriously these fish were so stinkin cute.  Some of them even had lashes!!!!

We got there and when the girls saw eachother, it was like there was no time in between.  SO SO SO SWEET, I just can't take the relationship they have.
They had a magician come to the party too.  The kids just loved it.
Ash was getting a taste of it.
*MELT*
Who wants to be a volunteer??
Now smile really nice and raise your hand....
....my girl got chosen!  I love seeing her in front of the crowd.  She's such a shy girl, at times, so I was so proud that she actually went up and participated.  She was having the best time.
He kept making them all laugh by snapping a balloon on his hand and face.
Some of the kiddies watching.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!  She is so animated and I just couldn't love her more.
Sissy time up there.  Now cover this and I will change the scarves colors....
Ava, "ummmm, no it's still blue and yellow!"  LOL, I can't with her, you can't get anything past her!
He must be getting nervous.
And an adorable mermaid balloon for the birthday girl of course.
Peace friends....
Time for the cake and some photo ops.
Getting all set up for her cake.
Cousins, including cutie pie Carter in the back.  That kid is so freaking delicious, I want to squeeze his thighs.
Sissy moments....
And more sissy moments....
LOL!

Her amazing cake.
Singing happy birthday to Peepa too.  Love you.
Found this girl rockin Ava's heels in the basement.  Too funny!
We had so much fun celebrating you Soso.  Hope your birthday was every bit of magical.  Can't wait to see what this year has in store for you.  We love you tons.  xoxo
