A man and his moose

A few years ago my dad found a young female moose in the woods.. he thought she had lost her mama most likely to a hunter so she was pretty vulnerable and alone.

So my dad, befriended her. He spent over a year in the woods with her, and over time she got to the point where she would allow him to pet her, and they even laid down in the snow together on occasion.. playing with apples they'd role back and forth.

Eventually she grew up... and she took off in the woods, most likely to mate. He still has hours of video of her though, and it truly is amazing.

Is there anything funnier than a toddler dancing to "I wanna "%$#&" you like an animal"?

(helps if paste the correct code lol)

Feeling Beachy :)

We Headed to the Beach today... it was 80 degrees outside... in April!!! In New England!!! It rocked.

So Rowan and I packed up our sunblock, some snacks, a teeny weeny bikini (for her of course) and a beach umbrella and headed over to Hampton.

We dug in the sand.. put our toes in the water the 43 degree ocean water, and walked the board walk. It was phenomenal.

A february stroll

It was rather warm yesterday, probalby about 40 degress. So we went for a little walk around the ole' cul-de-sac.

Rowan kept climbing up to the top of the big snow piles... she loved it!

Choo choo!!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas morning was a blast! Oddly we lost power at around 3 am, and I laid in bed praying to God that it would come back on, because otherwise we were having leftover Chinese food for Christmas dinner... it came back on around 5:00 am... Thank you God!!! And thank you to the poor utility worker that had to be out fixing powerlines on Christmas morning.

Rowan came down the stairs and made a bee line for her new doll house.... She did really well opening all the presents but it took forever! Everytime she opened a new toy, she would play with it for quite a while before she was ready to move on.

The big hits of the day were her doll house and her Barbie doll horse stall/pony toy.

Now we're all sitting around, watching Christmas movies and playing with toys. :)

God Bless you All and have a wonderful wonderful Day!!!

Video Goodness

ABC's

We've been practicing singing the ABC song lately with Miss Rowan. She's not perfect at it yet, but she tries like heck! Here's a video of it... yes she's naked... and yes she spends quite a bit of time at home naked haha no worries, I was careful not to let her flash you.

White Christmas

Well it's going to be white alright! Last night and into this morning we got about 6 or 8 inches of snow. It's the beautiful white fluffy kind that flies away in swirls when you step in it.

Last winter we spent quite a bit of time outside with Rowan in a baby sled, but this year she's old enough to really enjoy playing in the snow. I had gotten a new purple big girl sled for Christmas but once I looked out the window this morning I knew we were going to have to surprise her with it today.

I sat her on the couch and told her to close her eyes, ran upstairs to grab it from it's hiding place, and then SURPRISE!!!! She opened her eyes with a big smile and said.. "mama, its a big one?" hahaha

So outside we went. We were out there for a good hour before she finally caved and admitted to being cold... thank goodness because I was getting darn cold too! Especially after she stole my scarf haha. It was fun though... she went sledding down a few hills and even made a snow angel. My little snow bunny!

Here are some pics and a few videos.

Reason number 178 why I love my Husband

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

This video is Rowan... she sang and then I got her to recite the 1st commandment.

SHe misses a lot of words but its still super cute.

Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

ps... if you listen really closely, you'll notice that at about 4 seconds in, my husband rips ass.
