Our First Snow to bad it was in March!

Josh and I were so excited it was snowing. It ended up snowing for 5 hours and we really thought it would amount to something! Sad to say it didn't, it was our first snow of this year. It snows a lot more up north but where we live it normally doesn't ever snow. If it does snow it doesn't amount to much. We enjoyed it while it lasted and then the next day it was in the 60's and it all melted!
Josh and I love the snow! We were praying we would get a good amount by the end of the night, but we didn't! Oh well maybe next year.

Here is another picture of our snow fall here on Depot!

A Night of Bowling Fun!

Not the best picture of us hahahaha:) We had such a great time bowling though! We went to Zama bowling alley for a hail and farewell party for Josh's unit and invited Denise, Jeremy and Miss Abby! We do not go any where with out them, hahaha:) Fun Fun Fun :)
Josh having a fun evening of bowling! He is proud of his pink bowling ball! We all got a kick out of him bowing with a pink bowling ball. It started off as mine b/c it was light in weight and Josh ended up loving it b/c it was so light! Any way a guy with a pink bowling ball on an army post is always good for a laugh!
Abby was distracted by the person bowling next to us, and when he knocked down the pins Abby stopped what she was doing and clapped for him! She sure is a team player!
Denise helping Abby bowl for her first time. It was so cute Abby loved just watching the balls go down and come back! When she would hear the noise of the ball hitting the pins she would just laugh and clap her hands, it was great!

Babysitting Abby

Josh and I bought a Dyson Vacuum cleaner and still had the box. Well then I babysat Miss Abby and found it made an awesome toy!!! She loved it, we put some pillows in it for comfort, then we needed some cheese crackers in one of Gunner's dishes he doesn't use, hahahaha:) Yup you guessed it, it was then up to me to push her around the house, as you can see she was under no stress and enjoyed the relaxing trips around the house!!!! To be a kid again!!!!!

Well, Well, Well, what do we have here, some cheese crackers, my favorite Gunner was thinking! He followed us around the house as I was pushing Abby around wondering if she was going to share. When it was time for me to take a break, Gunner went in for the kill!

It worked she fell for it, just the size of Gunner alone was enough to threaten her to give him some of her crackers, hahaha! Abby loves to share though. Gunner loves it when she shares!
