The sunshine after the snow!

This is how we welcomed Spring! Nothing says Spring like 12 inches of snow! It was pretty watching it snow though! I've never seen such huge flakes! I tried to get a picture but my camera just isn't able to do that! Or maybe it is able to do that but I'm just not able to figure out how to make it do that! That could very well be the case! It was a good weekend to stay indoors by the fireplace and watch basketball games. Little Buddy was in Little Rock visiting friends since he was officially on his Spring Break so it was very quiet around here. To be honest though, Little Buddy really is pretty quiet even when he IS home. We usually only know he is around when he is eating or asking about dinner!

Sonny Bono, Little Mama and Chloe were supposed to come up for the weekend but after I saw the forecast Friday morning, I had to make that dreaded phone call and tell them that we were under a winter storm warning. I hated that they weren't able to come up but was also relieved that they didn't because I would not have wanted them to be on the roads Sunday trying to get back home! It is all working out even better because Little Mama and Chloe are coming up early in the morning and Little Mama is leaving her with me Thursday! Little Mama has an appointment in Little Rock on Friday so I get to have Chloe even longer!!!! Little Mama and Sonny Bono will come up to get her Friday night so I really won't have her as long as I would like to!!!!! : ) Well, they will spend the weekend so I really will get to have her quite a while! I just need to not be greedy! Need to get her bottles out this evening and get them sterilized and ready for her!!!!!! Will be so good to have the baby things out again!

Last Thursday night, Travis Tritt was at the Cherokee Casino in Siloam Springs, OK so Bud was determined that we were going to go. I KNEW that it was going to be so crowded and KNEW that we would be lucky if we could get close enough to SEE him BUT thought we would at least be able to HEAR him. NOT! He wasn't even there with his band. He just had his acoustic guitar and unless you were standing right in front of the stage.....not to the left or right.....but dead center and weren't more than 20 feet from the stage.......you could hear NOTHING! Bud was so disappointed! I think a lot of fans were disappointed. I was concerned about fire code violations! There were so many people in that place and so jammed up......if there had been a fire......it would have been disastrous. They had no idea how many people were coming in that door......so I don't know, maybe they don't have fire code restrictions but they should have! I personally stayed away from the crowds and as close to the doors as possible! We did end up eating in the buffet which was very good. Here is a picture of Bud with Travis.......or as close to Travis as we could get!

This was a little sign on our buffet table! Here is a picture of my mom playing one of her favorite slot machines. They had gotten there earlier and she and Dad ended up staying at the casino ALL NIGHT LONG! I told them that Bud and I had gotten up about 7:30 a.m. and she said that was about the time that she and Dad were just going to bed! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

Can you put curfews on your parents!?! I do not think that I could have stayed awake all night long and I am 20 years younger! I'm sure that they were feeling it on Friday though!

It is a good thing that Chloe is coming tomorrow because I need new pictures to post!!!!!! I will sign off with a picture of Allie coming in after being out in the snow Sunday. She was not a happy girl!

Welcome Spring!
