Hopefully this link works! I made a Christmas video that we thought you'd all enjoy! Have fun with it! lol! Merry Early Christmas!!!

Blizzard and Moving don't mix well!

Ahhh! We just got a blizzard warning for tomorrow! Yikes! Supposedly we'll get like 15-20 inches! That is absolutely unheard of here! We were supposed to rent a trailer and move on Monday, but now we've postponed it until Tuesday. We're really hoping that it'll at least be better by then. We know of one death from our icy road already this week...so please pray for safety! Stay tuned for updates on what the weather's really gonna be like!!!

My hero!

Just thought I'd share some pics of Brandon in his...umm...I forget what this uniform is called...but this is the one he wears on the boat! They were going out to do some training in some TERRIBLE weather the other night and I just thought i'd snap some shots of my hero in all his glory! I am So proud of what he does out there and just thought i'd share that! I was kinda dressed up b/c our neighbor had a going away party for us! So nice! Brandon could only be there for a bit...but such is life in the Coast Guard! Alrightly...

Welcome to our Winter Wonderland....

Rascal's really not sure what to think of the snow at first...lol... Our cutie patootie with snow on his face...

Some pretty, snow-heavy trees...

This was early this morning, that is Canada in the background and my snow-covered car in front...

This was Rascal a couple days ago when we just had a bit of snow...

Hello everyone! This morning we woke up to a beautiful winter wonderland outside our frosted windows! It is just beautiful! We woke up early to play before Brandon had to go to work! We were like little kids running and jumping around in the snow! I was able to get the hubby with a pretty good snowball...and then he got me back with some lovely snow down my pants. How nice. = ) Rascal was a bit unsure of what he thought of the snow...but once he got running around, he decided he liked it! I got the cutest video of him jumping through the snow...I wish I could find my cable to get it on here! Sorry! Enjoy these pics of our snow! xoxoxo

Countdown To Our 1st Anniversary!

Count Down Toys & MySpace Layouts

Spare Time... = )

Just thought y'all might like to see what one of my many hobbies are. I love to make things with Sculpey(a polymer clay). Not just any little things...very intricate little characters. When I was in AZ, I made Noah(from the Ark) and here I made a bunny for a baby shower gift. These are the first things I've made in a couple years, but thought you'd like to see! Enjoy! ...hmmm....I guess I didn't take a picture of Noah...bummer he was really cute! Oh well, here's the

bunny!-I added the sign with the baby's name on it! A personal little touch. She is only about 2.5 inches tall! I do the intricate details with a pin. = ) I LOVE doing this!

Pre-Christmas Cheer!

Merry almost Christmas! It's the most Wonderful Time of the Year...And we think that it really is! Brandon and I are loving the fact that we are able to decorate our own home for our First Christmas together! We love it! Our house has been transformed into a winter wonderland! I've got icicles hanging inside and out, Christmas teapots spread throughout, and a tree centered in our living room! On our tree we have some special "First Christmas" ornaments given to me at my Bridal Shower by Brandon's mom and Grandma. And as a special little tradition, we've decided to get a Christmas ornament from every place that we're stationed in the CG. That is what the little life ring picture is. Also, I have a fetish for penguins! I just love them. And my amazing hubby has spoiled me with several special penguin friends this Christmas! I LOVE it! Rascal isn't so thrilled about them...he's still a bit scared of them...but we're working on that! And yesterday Brandon was able to make the outside of our house match the inside. We now are glowing both inside and out! The lights were his thing! We love it so much and are proud of our little home! Well, have a blessed day and enjoy making your own little Christmas cheer! Just want to remind everyone to be thankful for the true meaning of Christmas...Jesus's birth! He is the reason for the season and His Birthday is what we are all celebrating! Ok, love to you all! ~Cortney
