We spent last weekend visiting my parents and as always we had a wonderful time.  While we were there they got some snow, so my dad and Rich convinced me that it was time for Hailey to go on her first toboggan ride.

Hailey and Rich are ready to come down the hill.

Rich and Hailey stop to smile for a picture.

Now it’s Pa’s turn to take Hailey down the hill.

Hailey thinks about making the long trip back up the hill.

 

Hailey gets ready to throw a snowball.

Hailey loved playing in the snow and we had a great time this weekend.  As always it felt sad to leave to come home.

 

      

 

It’s time once again for Meme Monday where we save up all of our memes and awards and post them each Monday.  Then everyone comes here and signs Mr. Linky so that we can all visit each other and see what we have been tagged to do and the awards our friends have given us.

And guess what- in case you didn’t notice- we now have a Meme Monday button.  If you want to grab it and add it to your Meme Monday post you can certainly do that.  To make it easier you can click here to get the HTML code for the button.

I have a really easy week this week- I didn’t get tagged at all to do any memes.  I did receive a couple of awards this week.  First I got this one from Pam.  Thanks for thinking of me Pam!  I love my award.

I am going to pass this award onto JennieBoo, Sharon, Deb and KC. 

Then I received this award from Deb.  Thanks so much Deb- I think your blog is loveable too!

I want to pass this award onto Kellan, Jennifer, Zam, and Crys.

Now if you played along this week, sign Mr. Linky so that the other participants can come and visit your Meme Monday.

 

      

We made cookies for Valentine’s Day and it has taken me a little while to get around to posting some pictures of the fun. But, better late than never- so here are some pictures of Hailey decorating some Valentine’s Day cookies.

Hailey had a great time and even though it was quite messy and required a trip straight to the bathtub it was fun.

 

      

For this weeks recipe exchange Pam has asked us to share our favorite breakfast recipes.  The recipe I’m going to share I got from my cousin Beka after she made it at one of our New Years parties several years ago.  It is so yummy that I often make it for dinner to.
