I'm a blogger....ahhhhh!

Okay, so I've been thinking of blogging for awhile...and I thought now that Ryan's parents have officially moved to Arizona now's probably a good time. It'll be a good way for me to write and a good way for family to see what's going on in the Shaw household. Both girls are in school today (Brooke - Kindergarten, Hannah - 4th grade) so I thought it'd be a good time to actually get out there and get my bloggin' on! Not that I don't have enough going on...with work, Ryan out of town (although these are hopefully his last few weeks...yippee!...until layoff), and kids homework....blah, blah!

I'm hoping to go get my treadmill so that I can get my fat buttowski movin' before our Hawaii trip (hey dale and carol....only 2 months!!). My goal is to start running everyday on it along with continuing beginning again to eat healthy....grrr! I was doing really well...and then this chilly weather hit, apparently that means I can eat whatever I want (to me).

Oh! We got our first snow this weekend! The girls Hannah built her first snowman of the year....my mom said it was Frosty's cousin "Leafy"....it was kind of a terrifying version of a snowman. But the girls LOVED it! They were soaked by the time they came in, it was a very WET snow! We warmed up to a nice glass of hot cocoa (I may or may not have infused Ryan's and mine with a shot of Bailey's with Caramel!...mmmm!) Here's a pic of Mr. Leafy:

Notice below...that apparently Leafy was hungry for a stick??



Ignore Ryan in the background....I have NO idea what he's up to! Notice that proud smile on Hannah's face though!

Oh! And notice the family pic at the top of my blog?? We got our pics taken this weekend also...by none other than the wonderful Lisa Timm!! She will also be creating our Christmas Cards this year! I just love her and cannot say enough good about her! Anyone in our area MUST go see her!! She makes you feel like you are the most important family in the world! She's the best! Her website is http://www.expressionsportraitdesign.com/ if you want to check it out....Hannah's pic is on there from last year too...with the old Black Beaut!

Okay...one more pic to leave you with...Here's Ryan and Fat Pablo...watching the Vikes game. Does Pablo look as annoyed as I was with their big fat loss? I think so!

Bahahahaha! Happy Monday!

Much Love,
