We Got Some Snow!

Wohoo!! We FINALLY got some snow!! We got about 4 1/2 inches of snow..it's a start, we're itching to get to some snowmobiling in!! It's 30 degress out now so we took the family out and went sledding,Libby kept saying oh man this is soo awesome, wow that was awesome!! Piper liked it a couple of times, after that she liked to watch her sister go down the hill! I think her not being very mobile annoyed her!! She has gotten very independant this last wk, We call her the NO I DO IT girl..ciz thats the only thing you ever hear her say now!! As I am writing this the girls are playing makeup I figure no harm done, we are hunkered down for the day anyways and they will get a bath anyhow! So let them paint away! Libs has really gotten into being a little fashionista..she wants skirts/dresses/makeup/tights/and pretty shoes...everything her mother isnt!! She still cant wait for her birthday..she keeps saying for my party it's going to be soo much fun, and Aunt Kimmy is getting her the best present EVER! Anyhow everything else is going pretty good, Josh was Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes about 2 wks ago, for a yr now we were under the impression and told he was type 2, so when his blood sugars and A1C levels kept getting higher, and his dr. kept being stern on him about not following his diet, we decided to see a specialist. I am not kidding or exaggerating when I say the specialist literally walked in the door and before he even sat down he introduced himself and said I think You have type one diabetes..we were baffled, but then he went into explaining it and discribed the honeymoon period of being diagnosed as type 2 and the meds working for about a yr, then it eventually falls apart, I could go into more description on here, but I'll save some time..he ordered a bloodtest to verify his type 1 diagnosis(yes theres a test for this and why his general dr didnt do this I dont know why..will we ever go back to his general dr. I dont know!) but yes the test came back positive and he his now taking insulin and watching his carbs, its been a huge adjustment but it's finally coming around and he his feeling waay better, and hopefully in 6 mos he can get a pump and that will mean less shots!! So I am hopefull for a cure!! It was hard to see him go thru all of this, but on the positive side we have an answer and hes feeling better!

Warm Weather in January?

My title says it all! We have been having some really odd weather lately..no so temps in the 50's? Our snowmobiles have yet to leave the warmth of the shed! It's bittersweet to me really, being able to take your kids out without freezing to the bone, pushing them on the tire swing, having a bonfire..it's all pretty nice..but I gotta say I'm missing my trip to Garrison and snowmobiling for the weekend! The girls are keeping us busy as usual, Piper now knows all her animal sounds! She's starting the whole process of potty training now, and shes doing pretty well!! My whole goal is to have potty training done by summer? That would be AWESOME!!! She's still a lil monster, she's into everything, very strong will powered lil girl! She loves watching her older sister do things,then give things a whirl herself! She's got a little sense of humor that I find hilarious! She will break out into a song and dance anywhere anytime! As for libby lynn, she's grown up to quite the smart little girl! She can spell all of our names on her own, she can spell the word love,hugs, and she is able to identify all the letters! Her big thing is her 5th birthday coming up, shes been planning now for a couple months! She went ahead and told all her friends at school she was having a party, and they were going to go swimming, so I had a mom asking me what the plan was! All her little friends are pretty stoked! She is going to have three of her friends join her after school and go swimming for a couple hours! She is super duper excited for this! As for family party for my side we will have a get together here at the house and she wants pizza, and this oreo pudding cake, ANNND her tinkerbell cake! This little miss is my party,event planner she LOVES get togethers, and going places, she is my social butterfly! So we have been keeping busy, I just finished making a cake for a lakemills event.(i did a basketball with the bulldogs label on the front and then all the boys names and numbers on it!) they had a contest for the cakes, and mine actually won best of show, and then it was auctioned off and it got 125.00$ that was pretty awesome to hear!! I love it when people are able to enjoy my work!! Till next time I hope everyone has a great week!!!

Piper fell asleep in her chair!
