Major. <br />
18ish inches, big drifts and SNOWED in!<br />
I didn't love the snow, but kinda dug being stuck inside my cozy house for a few days. <br />
We are lucky to live on a street with fantastic neighbors. The sweet lady next door (who lives alone) invited a few families over for chili, beer and good company. Note that we all have 2-3 kids, so she had a HOUSEFUL! Check out all the boots! <br />
We woke up last Monday to more snow too and I've heard the Farmer's Almanac is calling for one more BIG one....Please, no. </div>The Rowden'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13603352483492223664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165374295947254679.post-46227345564000789732011-03-18T09:49:00.000-05:002011-03-18T09:49:02.426-05:00A Little Fishin'<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiki6Ls6MDP3CnzW3bLkmE8FhMmAcrq6UK-zwaTnnci8VsNtYAE-pjprgb0Et4t7BzviAqn1wnWpxtOZphHUsa6nY-UvyniCtvBcJm8Gv98qEIAYFhpmmPShOgtY9HYYDsLH0EAAtGcx1Y/s1600/DSCN2782.JPG"></a></div><br />

I can hardly believe it. <br />
He's kind of a know-it-all, but it's still cute.<br />
We had a kickball - dodge ball - baseball<br />
party at Got Skillz. <br />
Super fun. Super Boy.<br />
Cooper Fun Facts: <br />
- He's learned to use the phone. - This is usually obnoxious.<br />
- He would rather be outside than sleep, eat, etc. <br />
- He likes to "hunt." (anything)<br />
- His favorite food is steak.<br />
- He DESPERATELY wants to lose a tooth.</div>The Rowden'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13603352483492223664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165374295947254679.post-23885668654120816342011-03-14T13:30:00.000-05:002011-03-14T13:30:24.241-05:00This Girl...<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxe5WrlWjmvG7fcSNpMqbiOcLV5TEPHGXsPAN4vfSCdeh5YQ3T4Y3gn4XSxOFa9QHfspRZlBINdnn0J29vyBaOkQjYoMH0lwugAZAZu2tGEr9WhyeQekLZJbolq-dyA991Yow_QTfxU4/s1600/DSCN0890.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXxe5WrlWjmvG7fcSNpMqbiOcLV5TEPHGXsPAN4vfSCdeh5YQ3T4Y3gn4XSxOFa9QHfspRZlBINdnn0J29vyBaOkQjYoMH0lwugAZAZu2tGEr9WhyeQekLZJbolq-dyA991Yow_QTfxU4/s400/DSCN0890.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Has totally neglected her blog.<br />

I seem to forget every year when the trees turn green, so do my kids eyes, nose, etc. I've had poor Cooper attached to a breathing machine for 2 weeks! I'm sure the Whaley's pharmacist is super tired of seeing us. Just when I thought Sadie Re was feeling better...we ended up at the doctor's office yesterday with a DOUBLE ear infection. Poor girl! Well, here's to feeling better AND the end of the legislative session is next Friday...woo hoo!!The Rowden'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13603352483492223664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165374295947254679.post-7595473121854027042010-04-18T16:34:00.000-05:002010-04-18T16:34:31.445-05:00Just Another Saturday Mornin'<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA7mOMXEhUpT3ShNexRH2eL6SZO0-aIlXwaFjA9rvM0WWxTVRw3btBweLP2wMOorHRgU2cSF2w6qtml-PjQWowx3t5lfq9bA99lWKQDfZ1M_kkAY4X5AHCU_x-IVrE5s_9o_nTA5rMM8I/s1600/DSCN1653.JPG"><img alt="" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA7mOMXEhUpT3ShNexRH2eL6SZO0-aIlXwaFjA9rvM0WWxTVRw3btBweLP2wMOorHRgU2cSF2w6qtml-PjQWowx3t5lfq9bA99lWKQDfZ1M_kkAY4X5AHCU_x-IVrE5s_9o_nTA5rMM8I/s400/DSCN1653.JPG" /></a> </div><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">These are my 4 kids. <br />

Things have been super busy around here! I can't believe we are half-way through April. We had a great Easter weekend. We enjoyed several egg hunts and took most of our immediate family to brunch...it was nice to have everyone together in one place! Last week was Kindergarten registration for Cooper. He will be starting in the Fall as a West School Wild Cat..."West is the Best..." He's pretty excited and quickly checked out the playground, cafeteria and the bathroom. Those are the most important rooms, right? We have kept ourselves busy in the yard working on landscaping, planting flowers and cleaning up the deck and front porch. We have a TON more to do, but it will be nice when we can sit back and enjoy it. In other news, there is approximately 5 more weeks of the legislative session and I am ready for it to be over!</div>The Rowden'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13603352483492223664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6165374295947254679.post-87847259286014438522010-03-31T23:11:00.000-05:002010-03-31T23:11:42.149-05:00Beauty MarksThis morning as Sadie Re and I were snuggling, she kindly began counting the moles on my arm. Then my neck, boobies, face...I have a TON. She says, "Oh, Mommy...jew have a yot of owwies." I kindly explain that they are in fact moles, not owwies. Smarty pants..."Jew wrong, Mommy.

In fact, I know it is. But for the sake of capturing moments, I had to share this one. That's what my blog is all about, right? Capturing moments...or maybe...embarassing my kids?! I'm totally calling myself out on this one too. I <em>sometimes</em> leave the princess in the tub while I put away laundry. I don't really <em>like</em> to put away laundry, so this doesn't happen that often. She is usually singing or asking where I am, so I know she's fine. Anyway...last week while I was multi-tasking the princess decided to multi-task too. She pooped WHILE she was bathing. GAG. Then, she fished out the poo and left if on the floor. Such a good little helper. GAG. Yes, that is poo on the floor. I captured the memory. <br />

This was part of our conversation Friday morning while I was in the shower.<br />
<br />
Sadie- Mommy, I gotta potty.<br />
Me- (washing my hair) Mommy is in the shower can you go to your potty?<br />
Sadie- No. I big dirl. I go in big dirl potty.<br />
Me- Cooper! Will you come help me for a minute?<br />
Cooper- What's up?<br />
Me- Will you help your sister take off her pull-up and lift her up onto the potty?<br />
Cooper- Sure! (He lifts her up and says, "Holler when your done...I gotta watch my show.")<br />
Sadie- DONE! DONE! DOOONNNEEE, Bobo! (Because you can't say it just once??)<br />
<br />
Cooper comes back in to help her and starts to take her down. In the mean time she is SCREAMING for toilet paper.<br />
<br />
Me- Oh, wait! She needs paper for her tootch...not my word...her word. <br />
Cooper- That's it! I'm done! No tootch wiping here!<br />
<br />
Funny, funny kids....who I'm sure will love hearing these stories when they are older! And here's hoping Sadie will come up with a new word for her tootch.

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This ornery little boy had me wanting to crawl into a hole and...well, you know the rest. Today was Coop's field trip to Central Dairy for an ice cream treat. Tasty! So, being the overachieving parent that I am, I volunteered to drive and help out. In addition to Cooper, I had one of his classmates AND his teacher. On the way back to school (downtown) I scooted through a yellow light...because it was lunch time and a ZOO. As I scoot through thinking no one will notice, my child exclaims (at the TOP of his lungs), "Son of a B*#@&!" Lovely. So glad I took off work for that one!</div>The Rowden'shttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13603352483492223664noreply@blogger.com2
