Let it Snow

Yeah, finally some snow to play in or something like that :) We traversed outside to shovel the driveway for Chris while he was working and so his car would make it up the drive when he got home. Alison didn't really like the cold blowing wind/snow in her face so she hung out in the garage most of the time.

All bundled up!
But my prefered place to be.....she REALLY wanted to go on a wagon ride...just didn't quite comprehend??!!!
But Mommy did a snow angel
I did get her to sit in it...okay, I plopped her down and she looks thrilled hunh?! She actually sat and made a few snowballs with me and then inside we went

Life around the Bishop house

Life has completely setted back into routine around our house. Feels good!
We were in need of some new pj's this weekend. I can't believe how fast she is growing. One eye on these and she HAD to have them. The princesses are becoming more and more popular everyday around here...especially Snow White and yes, she does know and can name all the Seven Dwarfs.
I think we had our first tempter tantrum today...such a proud Mom moment. We've had plenty of sassy moments but this was a kicking, screaming, sobbing mess. ALL over reading books on the potty....oh my!!!! What have I gotten myself into :)

Gymmastics class

So to help fight off Winter's cabin fever I have signed Ali and I up for a gymnastics together class at the Y. Today was our 1st class. She did great....followed directions and overall enjoyed running, jumping, and doing somersaults.
Here we are on the bench before starting:


And after class....doing her best TA-DA...she has the hang of that!!!

2009 is here!

Hi all. We hope that everyone had a safe, fun, and memorable New Year! I was lucky enough to get to stay home from work that night and enjoy time with my hubby, daughter, and best friends! It was sooo nice.
Well today officially ended the Christmas season for us. The house is de-Christmassed, the gifts are being worn and played with, the get togethers are over, the Christmas snacks are gone, and the tree is sitting on the curb--it fulfilled its Christmas destiny :) Alison cried as we took it out the door tonight, so sad...she said, "My Chris-mas-tree". We told her it had to go help make more trees and we would see it again next year...okay..on to a new activity :) Life of a 2 year old!
We have had one problem around our house....sometimes Alison goes missing we have this Mrs. Potato-Head like thing in her place??????



From our house to yours...have a superb 2009!

Merry Christmas 2008

Oh what a wonderful holiday we have had!! We hope all of our friends and family enjoyed food, fellowship, and the spirit of Christmas this season. We started our holiday festivities on Christmas Eve. We went to my parents for dinner and gifts. Just a little bit of a zoo with 4 kids under 10 :) Giving Meme Wagoner a thank you kiss!!!Papa Tom's new BSU sticker for his truck!!!
Playing Christmas carols on the piano with Meme!

Chris and I traveled back home that night so we could wake as a family on Christmas morning. Alison was so precious. Slightly aware of the Santa concept, but not much. We enjoyed an awesome day of relaxing around the house. My parents came in the evening and we ate dinner and played games. Chris and I rocked the house in Euchre :)Santa has arrrived!!
Unwrapping gifts with Mommy! And the aftermath :)

Enjoying one of Daddy's new Christmas toys. Ms. Pac-Man for the TV...how fun!
