hey joel...this is hollie "larson" holyoak...saw your blog through jacob! u have a very cute little family! you can check me and my fam out at www.theholysmokes.blogspot.com its good to see you are doing well! hope to hear from you soon! would love to keep in touch! i am currently living up in show low area but am moving down to tolleson (off the I-10 and 99th ave)at the end of this month!
I had just about given up on you blogging. Do you forget that I live in Idaho with nothing to do but stay inside for 5 months of the year. I need pictures! JK, but really, I have nothing to do but stay inside. So I love looking at blogs. Anyway- looks like you had fun in the snow. Hailey and JoLynn look so cute all bundled up!
Okay, so just in case Cindy isn't the only one who noticed that I change my blog like 4 times a year, I offer my appologies to those of you who check our blog daily, hanging on the edge of your seats in suspense, to find out what else we are doing in our exciting lives. There are two reasons for my lack of blogging: 1 is because most of the time we do things that are exciting enough to share with all of you, we don't have the camera with us, and lets face it - no picture posts are boring. And 2 is because the majority of all the other pictures we take, we are either in our pajamas, or half dressed. (I mean our kids a half dressed - not me & Joel...we don't take pictures of that.) So anyways, I am really doing you a favor. Plus it makes the rare occasion that there is something new on here that much more exciting, don't you think?
Looks like fun! I forget there are places in Arizona that have snow! Chicago is as bad as Idaho as far as that goes! We got spoiled in Tennessee where we complained when the temperatures were getting close to freezing. In Chicago we are excited for that--it means it is warming up! We do love it here though. There a TON of things to do and the city is just exciting! Ferris Bueller was filmed here (I saw your quote)! Anyway, I love your blog and you are better than I am at posting--as you can tell it has been 3 weeks since my last--so give yourself a pat on the back!
