New look

So I thought that for Christmas I would get a new look. This is before my trip to the salon...
(Sorry for the funny look...Mike was in charge of the camera)

A look from the back

And the new look......


I think it looks better and feels A LOT better!!! I don't get headaches anymore, when it gets that long it is heavy and gives me headaches. I use to complain about my hair but I have had too many people bite my head off for complaining about my hair being too thick, so I try not to do that too much.

Snow pics

Here is the final tally for snow in our backyard...
That is right almost 6 inches of snow in Henderson NV (Mike's parents got about 10). It was a record snowfall for the month of December and the largest single snowfall EVER!!

This is something Mike never thought he would "get" to do again when we moved down here.

Here is a beautiful picture of the snow falling.
This is the tree in our back yard. Luckily after I took this picture I had Mike shake as much snow off it as he could. The snow was REALLY wet and heavy. There are several trees around the neighborhood that are broken and Mike's mom actually had a tree uproot and fall over. Luckily it didn't damage anything, but now she needs to get a tree company to come remove it from the backyard. I bet they are pretty busy the next couple days!!

Winter Wonderland!!!

So today in Henderson NV we got SNOW!! It started just before noon and snowed the rest of the day and I think it is supposed to snow all night so I will take more pictures in the morning.
We have had a lot of fun playing in it today. We have missed the snow since we have been here, but we are glad that it doesn't come often and it doesn't stick around too long when it does come.
This is a picture of a palm tree in our neighbors yard so we can prove that it IS Henderson.
This is us with the snowman that we built in our back yard.
We drove by the park near our home and there were a lot of kids there playing. They were building snowmen and forts and having snowball fights. There were also a couple firetrucks that stopped by to play with the kids. The firefighters got their body boards out and were using them as sleighs. I thought that was pretty cute so we took pictures.

This is them getting ready to go down the hill.
This is the firefighter with a little girl climbing the hill to go again.

This is the car and the truck out in front of the house enjoying the snow.


This is Mike enjoying the snow...Maybe a little too much!!
