• We've had lots of stuff going on.  I guess I'll start with pics from last night.  We went to a Super Bowl party at Bill and Tami's house.  We ate and watched football...and ate...and talked...and I took pictures...and we ate some cake....you get the idea.  Here are some of the pics....

  I made a cake for Tarabeth's birthday.  She's a big Steelers fan, so I went with that theme since it was also a Super Bowl party:

  

  The birthday girl and her cake:

  

  Tarabeth and Shannon, sampling a cheese ball:

  Bob and Reagan (and Tarabeth in the background....not sure what she's doing here...she'll love me for posting this one. haha):

  

  We did get a little Super Bowl party surprise.  One of the girls in this picture is pregnant.  I'll let you figure that one out yourself. haha:

  

  Shannon snapped this lovely photo of me (and Jana):

  

  Here's Roxie, right after she found out that somebody is having a baby:

  

  Someone (Joseph) wanted the piece right out of the middle:

  

  The kids ended up being off school the entire week last week, so we spent a lot of time at home.  It snowed pretty much everyday.  The kids did lots of sledding and frolicking in the snow.

  Here's Roxie, ready to go outside:

  

  

  

  Okay, here's a video of Roxie making a snow angel...apparently, I was holding the camera wrong, so it's crooked.  Sorry. haha

  

  

  

  

  I told the kids to lay in the snow and make snow angels.  They were less than enthusiastic about it. haha:

  

  

  For some reason, Roxie was having a few issues...not sure what her problem was:

  

  

  

  

  

  

  As I said, Roxie was having issues while we were outside.  She kept breaking out into tears every few minutes. lol:

  Okay, here's an interesting story.  On Friday around 1:30 p.m. as I was getting ready to get into the shower (yes, I was just taking my shower at 1:30....haha) I heard a huge explosion.  It shook the house, and the stuff on the shelves rattled.  It scared me to death.  The electricity went off, and so did the cable.  I had no idea what had happened.  I went ahead and took my shower and got dressed.  I heard lots of sirens, fire trucks, police, ambulances, etc. going by the house.  Then I got a call from a lady at church asking if we were okay.  I said we were fine, and she proceeded to tell me that she'd heard that a plane had crashed next to us.  Okay, well, that explains the explosion I heard.  I looked outside, and sure enough, all of the emergency vehicles were parked right down the road, and traffic was backed up.  Here's what it looked like:

  

  

  We haven't found out a lot of details about the plane.  There were six people on board, and none survived.  The plane was flying from Delaware and was running low on fuel.  It wasn't supposed to stop here, but I guess they were going to stop and re-fuel.

  Anyway, Friday after Jamie got home from work, we decided to venture out into the snow and go eat at Texas Roadhouse.  I took a few photos along the way of the snowy scenery:

  

  

  And then we made it to the restaurant:

  

  

  

  

  I got some new hair-do ideas from the websites that Lori posted.  I tried one of the styles on Roxie.  It's supposed to look like a heart.  I thought it was pretty cute:

  

  I also had an order for another Macy's cake last weekend:

  

  This week is when I'm taking the two-day cake decorating class.  It's 8-5 for two days.  That's a lot of caking.  We'll see how it goes.  I hope I enjoy it....'cause if I don't, it will be a miserable two days. haha
