Nice family pic...

But that's all I could get out of Charley. Teenagers! She looked totally cute tho! Adorable outfit!

Tootie had pockets in her outfit and she kept walking around with her hands all stuffed in! It was so funny! She looks so grown up!
Im cute as pie.
Caden working outHere's Lizzy eating ice cream! She is so funny! I totally missed the funny moment of the night tho... apparently Caden hates cold stuff... I gave him a bite of ice cream and the look of horror on his face was hilariously pitiful! He walked around saying 'cold, cold' for the next 10 minutes! Poor guy!

lub ooo....

music to my ears... lizzy has learned how to say I love you, pronounced "lub oooo". I've officially melted! We went to visit last night and played until everyone was plum tuckered out! Lizzy warmed her vocal chords on up and let loose! She clearly said 'nite nite' in the middle of her come apart, so mom and dad followed orders! I went in to tell them goodnight before we left and she looked up from her crib, runny nose and all, and croaked out "lub ooo." Ohh my. Break my heart in half...

From precious to hilarious, here's her hairdo this morning...

ARRRRRGGGGGG!

Ha! He's so funny and cute! Im so lucky!

Pics of Clyde Hollis

These are so precious! Katie's been sending me pictures over the last week and here are some adorable ones of baby Hollis! He looks just like dad!

No way! Hilarious!

Allie is so 80's!

She likes to wear her t-shirts tied at the waist in true 80's style...

She's still up for the taking if anyone wants her... she's so sweet but HATES it when we leave her alone...

Our snow pales in comparison...

We'll, if we didn't love mel so much, we'd totally be upset that her snow pictures KILLED ours but, we LOVE her and we were just excited to see snow! How exciting!
It snowed all morning here yesterday! It was awesome! It was just enough to make snowmen, have some serious snowball fights, then melt off by the end of the day when everyone had had their fill!

Fun husband powers went military game plan on all the kids at church! They didn't have a chance! I had no idea where he was most of the day but all the soaking wet kids would run through squealing his name so I knew he was having fun somewhere! Poor charley had to sit through church soaked to the bone! The babies didn't get out and play in it, but they were totally intrigued and asked about "no???" all day! (Were still working on S's!) It was an all around awesome day!

Incredible!

Ok, lets get to it! We've got lots to update!

First off, a post from Melanie Beyer, Powers's sister. The snow BOTTOM fell out in arkansas this weekend! Holy Cow! Here's an email and pics that Mel sent to everyone...

"Some pictures from our snow yesterday/last night. It started snowing about 2:00 yesterday afternoon and snow pretty hard for several hrs. It was still a very light snow when we went to bed at 11:00 last night.

In one of the pictures you can see our table on the patio. In another picture, you can just see the top of the ruler sticking out of the top of the snow on that table. In the shallowest spot we measured in the yard, it was still 6 ½ inches deep! It is beautiful but very bright! It’s not supposed to get much above freezing today, so we’ll see if it melts enough for school tomorrow. Of course, it will be in the low 20’s overnight, so whatever melts may very well freeze on the roads. I hope the kids don’t have to miss another day of school. At this rate, we’ll never get out for summer!!!!"

Derek, Ashley, Andrea, and Brooke

Mel and Brookey!

Can you believe that? That's incredible!!
