our new favorite appliances

Ever since we moved in our washing machine had been acting up. We finally decided to have it looked at and the sears man gave us a quote of 470 bucks!!! Yikes! We decided to then go looking for a new washer and dryer. We found one at the best price overall at Best Buy right by our house. We got the new h.e. front loaders. Superb performance! We love to do laundry now! I have now gone around the entire house to wash everything in site(kinda just for the fun of it). Our home is spotless, smells wonderful, and the new washer and dryer are to thank.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!!

The snow sure did come down over the weekend here in Ohio! It was quit beautiful to see the big flakes coming down. I was calling it "movie snow" to everyone. Nate had to work a 48 hour shift this entire weekend so Sam and I enjoyed it together. She really loved watching the snow fall, and the bright sun we woke up to on Sunday morning! I had to do some shoveling too, it was a good workout I must say! What a pretty weekend!

Holiday Decorating

It is a tad early, but I guess we are that household that just can't wait. We spent the entire day decorating, listening to Christmas music, and drinking hot chocolate. It was the best time!!! Sammi helped too.

The First Snowfall!

Well, it's that time again and for us today it meant something else.... Decorating our tree! Nate promised the Sat. after Thanksgiving we would put up the tree OR the 1st snowfall so that's what we did today.

Imagine if...

Thanks to Hay and Rich the Sharps have stepped back in time as well... circa 1966-68. Nathan wouldn't let me publish the best picture of him, I can't imagine why he got so offended when I was laughing incredibly hard for five minutes straight! hahaha! Anyway thank you Ash family for the website and an evening of laughs(at least for me). Enjoy our yearbook pictures!

our BBQ bit the dust

After many great barbecued dinners this spring and summer our poor little fiesta grill finally is on it's last leg!!!

The racks have rusted or burnt through (maybe a little of both) and it literally crumbled just moments after these pics were taken!

I guess we will be in search of a new grill SOON!

our niece the genius!

Sophie loves to take pictures, and when I got my camera out at our sleep over she of course wanted to take pictures of everything!!! Well, last night before bed I erased all the horrible pictures of me, Nate, and a bunch of things we couldn't figure out. I must have had my back turned when Soph got ahold of the camera again because much to my surprise after we returned home from dropping her off there were some very interesting, and I must say a little genius, pictures on my camera. Nate nor I have any idea when or how she did this but check out these pictures.... I took the picture of the entire coffee table just to show you how detailed this little girl is. The rest of the pictures were taken by her, in order from one end of the coffee table to the other. Pretty amazing huh? In the EXACT order! Kinda artistic pics too I think!!!
