Yakkity Yak... Mary Talks Back: Blog slacker here!!

Blog slacker reporting!!!

We are very hopeful that the owl that met it's demise was not Hootie or Blowfish so we had to make sure that the nest box was ready just in case. Dave was brave and up he went!

I kid you not it is a long ways up and not the easiest to get to!

But someone had to do it and I can guarantee it was not going to be me!! Now we wait and hope for new owlets in the spring, we are still thinking about replacing the nest box camera, but hate to make that much of an investment if they don't come back!?!

Sarah and Dave went to the local mini dealer for the showing of the new 4 wheel drive mini....this is the one Dave wanted!! In my opinion...yuck!!!

Now this one on the other hand....... it's a beauty!!!

Shhhhhhhhhhhh............. g- ma left the computer running so thought I would chime in and tell you about part of my weekend. On Friday I got to hang out with g-ma...she said something about having shakes from withdrawal symptoms because it had been since Thanksgiving weekend since she saw me last. Here I am hanging out watching Polar Express....I LOVE this movie!!!!!!

Then I had some work to catch up on.....This is the most awesome drill ever!!!

Ok, so Polar Express was still on and while I really wanted to concentrate on my work I had to keep an eye on the goings on!! I may have broken my pliers....which gpa fixed....and now they are way cool to chew on!!

Gma and gpa put up the tree and there is a lot of cool things to look at! I had to show brown puppy and lemur all the lights and ornaments.....and maybe I realized that lemur made a cute ornament and left him there!

After we did some art it was a chance for me to sit in my box and watch some Thomas....

(Gma disclaimer to follow)
Seriously, I stay really busy and gma does not always just have the tube on for me to watch!!!!!

This time she even let me have a snack in the box with brown puppy!

I even shared that treat with brown puppy....he really is my bestest buddy!

Soon after gpa came home from work I suited up and headed out to help him shovel the driveway.....my work is never done!!

What do you mean you don't clear the snow off the driveway with a broom and a rake....it makes really cool patterns!!

Then gpa helped me make this snowball!!

That just got bigger and BIGGER...and BIGGER !!!

And after we made 3 of them and stacked them up it made this thing gpa called a snowman. Gma brought out some clothes for it, so I helped get him dressed!!

Here is the finished product....pretty awesome if I do say so!!

On Saturday Ward family, northern edition came down for a visit. We went and checked out the train barn......it has TONS of trains and tracks that have been there for ....well forever!!!

I am waiting for gpa to build me on of these!!!!!!

Another reason they came for a visit was to celebrate my mommy's birthday! We went to this place called Kumo's where they cook right in front of you....I was waiting anxiously for what they said was a big flame!!

OH MY GOODNESS.....they were not kidding!!!

Although it was cool.....it did scare me a little bit so I may have hidden my face in my mom's arms for a few seconds!! I would like to know why everyone in this picture seems to be laughing!?!?!?!

I decided to brave another peek....just to make sure that nothing caught on fire!!

Ok, that's a little better and not out of control!! The food was awesome....I think I did a great job feeding my self all that rice, chicken, broccoli, and especially those mushrooms. I was a little disgusted when the man cooking the food started to throw it at everyone!!! Man my daddy can sure catch a lot of stuff in his mouth!!!! He was AWESOME!!!
