New Haircut

I got a hair cut today. I just got one two months ago but my hair has been growing like crazy. So I decided to cut it even shorter. Here is also a profile shot of my belly at 22 weeks.

First Snow

Today was the first snow of the season. It started as rain and then turned into snow. The kids thought it was so neat, so they had to run out and play in it. They had a great time, and got very wet.

It was the perfect day for soup, so I cooked Meatball Stew for dinner. It was delicious. I also was in the kitchen all day cooking Salsa. I got 18 pints today. I have just about 40 tomatoes left from my garden that are just a little orange. I am waiting for them to turn red and then I will either make Spaghetti Sauce out of them, or Stewed Tomatoes. Hopefully I can get that done next week. Then I will be done bottling for the season. I really only ended up keeping up with the tomatoes this year and not canning anything else.

At Home Sledding

Yesterday my kids were dragging each other on blankets and calling it sledding. They were also trying to water ski while standing up, and Landon would tell Kylie she needed to say "Hit It" before he would go. I thought it was pretty cute so I got some pictures and video coverage. It sure makes having no carpet pretty fun in the house.

Landon And Kylie Sledding

For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to get the kids to feel the baby move. It seems whenever they get their hands on my stomach that he stops moving. But today they were finally able to feel him. It was pretty fun.

Our Maiden Voyage

We took our boat out for the first time today. We all had a very good time. I got to learn how to drive a boat. I was pretty nervous, but Marcus kept telling me it was easy. I am starting to get the hang of it, but I still don't want to pull it in and out of the dock. The kids got to each go tubing. I think they both loved it, but Kylie got tired of it faster than Landon. Marcus pulled me in the tube going pretty slow. I had a good time, but am excited to have this baby, and then hopefully next year I can learn how to wake board.

We got Marcus to hop in the tube with Kylie after she was getting a little tired of it, and I ended up dumping them by driving too slow. Who would've thought? Marcus was also able to wake board. He had me do a couple of practice runs on how to drive pulling a wake boarder. The only thing I thought was tricky was how sensitive the knob is when giving it gas to speed up, or pulling it back to slow down. I will have to practice more. At least I got to practice on Marcus, who of course got up on the first try, and never fell off. Over all it was a very fun day.
