Snow Day at The Parrish House!!

This turned out to be a big one! We are trapped at home! See how steep my drive is? No way out! We are just staying warm and catching up on some down time. Don't get much of that here!

Here are my four the day before it snowed. I let the two big ones go to friends' houses, knowing they would get snowed in there. I am not sure when they will be home now!

So...there were just two to take pics of in the snow. They had a blast. We were unable to make a SnowGor (as Avery says) because the snow was covered in a sheet of ice. It would not roll.

It also made the Snow Angels have to work harder :)




Alex had a "Wardrobe Malfunction".

Then came the sledding!

I love the excitement on Avery's face here. She was running and I got her in the air! Too cute.

We tried to slide on everything we could find. Alex was really laughing at me trying to ride down the hill on the teeter totter!

The snowballs hurt because of the ice, so Alex had a shield. We had to create a twist on snowball fights!

Such a fun time...just hanging together!

What is a day in the snow without hot cocoa with mini "smarshmallows"?

Hope you all have a great week! Stay warm....wherever you are! :)

Take Time to Laugh at The Little Things!

When I went into my basement bathroom yesterday this is who I saw...

Sitting on the back of the toilet. :) I can not help but wonder which of my four crazy kids did this and who they were thinking would see it first. It really made me giggle.

I am pretty sure it was one of my two littlest Angels who left something cute for my Mom (go check it out) the other day.

I am trying not to blink. My kids are growing up so fast. Trying real hard this year to stop and laugh at the little things.

Have a great day!

See ya soon!

Goodbye 2010.............Welcome 2011!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

From all of us at the Parrish Home to you and yours at your home...wherever you may be!

The Christmas Present That Keeps On Giving..

...was a seven pound, three ounce, twenty inch long, red-headed, blue-eyed bouncing baby boy! I received this present 12 years ago today and it auto-renews every year! Happy Birthday, my sweet Austin! You were always, and still are, such a good boy! Everyone was so proud to have you. Autumn was so excited to have a live baby doll in the house. She was your second "Momma" and loved every minute of it~

Here is my walk through twelve years with my "Little Man"!

With Ganky and Pa on vacation.

Pa's Birthday

Your 8th Birthday.

You and Josh in Gatlinburg. Remember, we got snowed in and had so much fun?

You have always been so good to your sisters! Alex loves to play video games with you!

Of course, you have always loved the beach!

Nine years old.

You were so proud of the trick we played on Dave, the Gator fan! I think he rode around for awhile with the Ga. Bulldog on his truck!

The Varsity should have used this one as a commercial!

You are so talented at all sports. I am so proud of you!

Playing in the camaro.

Of course, here you are with Ganky, who loves you so much!

Happy 12th Birthday, to my "Little Man"! We all love you so very much and are so proud of who you are and what a fine young man you have become!

I am so proud to be your Mom!
