It's 10 o'clock and all's well...

Well, I am really just checking in to report that there is nothing much to report! We have walked the mall, and done laundry, and I've even shoveled this morning... OK so that is the biggest news... It snowed! Wow! like 3-4 inches, that is pretty amazing!Grandpa and Grandma have been playing with the kiddies, they went to the mall to walk around this morning, Allie is going to get a second Webkinz for her poodle since it seems she needs a friend...Hopefully she picks something good! Luke and I are hanging out... He is so silly! So here are a few pictures...

I just have to mention this....

I would feel totally bad if I did not add to the spirit of Love that seems to surround this whole blog world when it comes to NieNie and her family.

I know many of you probably don't have a clue what I am talking about, but there seems to be this crazy string of small airplane crashes lately, makes me glad to have both my feet on the ground, but you may know I read a ton of crafty blogs, and one belongs to the above mentioned NieNie...On Saturday, August 16, 2008, Stephanie & Christian Nielson were in a plane crash with his flight instructor, Doug Kinnear, near St. Johns, Arizona. Doug Kinnear passed away soon after arriving at the Maricopa County Hospital. Christian has sustained burns on over 30% of his body. His wife Stephanie’s body was burned over 80%. They are currently undergoing the beginnings of several rounds of skin surgeries. Their four children are in Utah with family members while their parents are with them in AZ although they are in Medicaly induced comas.

Personally my heart is so broken, I just can't even imagine what their family is going through. And since I can't really do too much to help, I figured the best I can do is just share their story. Below are some things that have been set up to help out the family with their Medical bills and household management.

Just scary....

This above is my picture from this summer!
Below is Today's picture!

The fire, which was reported around 11 a.m., spread from the center section of the hotel across the roof before appearing to ease about an hour later. Fiery debris fell to the street below, and orange flames lapped at the casino's script sign.There were no immediate reports of injuries.

Ok we were just this summer staying at this hotel! It was really creepy to see this picture... I am a paranoid type anyway, but I just remember going up the elevator and getting off the ceilings are really low in the center section of the hotel...and I was struck with that Creepy What if! YUCK! Today was What if... thankfully it sounds like everyone was safe...Good thing it was during the day probably most rooms were empty! Creepy!
