Our fur-baby, Leo had been having a BLAST playing in the snow, so much in fact that he seems to want to go out about every 5-10min. It was also so cute to see him pouncing in the snow, but unfortunately I wasn't ever able to capture it with the camera.
Christmas 2010
We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and was able to spend quality time with their loved ones. We had a great Christmas, the boys and even our fur-babies had a great day.
Some of the treats we bought for our fur-babies, Leo and Mattie.
Kennon and Ian wrapping Leo and Mattie's gifts. It was hilarious because Leo would NOT leave the boys alone, he so badly wanted the bones right then and there, lol!
Our sad little tree with the boys' gifts, and their stockings hung with care.
Yes, we were finally able to find an Xbox Kinect, we and the boys are having so much fun playing the games... p.s we're also already very sore, lol! This is also a picture of the train set great-grandpa Bowe had bought for the boys only a few week before he had passed away. The boys love it, and I'm sure they'll cherish it for many years to come.
Our sweet fur-babies, Leo and Mattie getting their gifts
The boys having a blast with their new goodies, and Jason showing Austin how to safely use his new air soft gun, and boy was Austin surprised when he opened that gift!
This I decided to try something new...homemade cinnamon rolls, Jason said they were, "Absolutely awesome!" I also made my hash brown breakfast casserole that Jason and they boys love. Then we finished the night with a wonderful Christmas dinner.
A twist on a classic cookie recipe
This weekend I tried out a recipe I had come across...whole wheat chocolate chip cookies. I had the whole wheat flour, so I thought I'd give this recipe a try, and it honestly wasn't that bad. Due to the whole wheat flour, you don't get that "sugar rush". Here's the recipe if you'd like to try it for yourself.
Whole wheat chocolate chip cookies
Ingredients:
1C butter
1C dark brown sugar
1C sugar
2 Lg eggs
2 tsp. vanilla extract
3C whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soad
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
8 oz. chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mix in a large bowl the first 5 ingredients until just blended. Then add the remaining ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, and mix until all the ingredients are mixed well, finally mix in the chocolate chips.
Place scoops of the dough onto a greased cookie sheet, and bake for 16-20 min. Enjoy!

What a neat view
While watching the news, before getting the boys up for school, they had said you can see the planet Venus near the moon. I thought it was interesting enough to take a photo of the moon and Venus...
What Leo does when I leave the house...
A few days ago we've learned that our 4 month old St. Bernard puppy, Leo, can jump the gate to escape the laundry room where we keep him while we're out running errands, and he hadn't destroyed anything...until today.... this is part of what I came home to...
Note: all the items on the quilt in the living room were on the bookcase in the dinning room...the books were on TOP of the bookcase, and my yoga blocks were on the bottom shelf (you can see to open space). And there's the culprit...trying to play off his puppy cuteness...
First snow
Monday morning we woke up to a snow-covered yard. The boys were so excited as was our 4 month old St. Bernard puppy, Leo.

Leo just realized I was watching him, lol!
