*~*Dream Big*~*: February 2010

Day 99 -- February 14

Valentine's day! And, more importantly, the 18th annual "Big Little Chili Cook-Off" at Milan Church of Christ! There's been a lot of trash talking going on about the top chili, especially between Cory, Nick & Shana.....well, SHANA WON! Nick (well, Stephanie, his wife) came in 2nd and Cory got honorable mention. I tied for third place with my Grandpa Campbell...but I didn't make the chili.....hahaha my mom did! So much fun though!

*I LOVE the olympics

*Announcing the winners! Way to go Campbell girls!

*Stephanie (2nd place), Shana (1st place) and Cory (honorable mention)...Cory's face says it all!

Day 98 -- February 13

Austin, Alissa, Brooke (Alissa's sister) and I went snowmobiling today! So much fun! Austin & Alissa snowmobile a lot but it's not every day that they ask me to tag along. I'm not very good (or daring) but it was so much fun! We went about 40 miles throughout the afternoon and made our way through the back roads and fields southwest of Saline. Great times! Hopefully we'll get to do it again! We just need a little more snow! We even spooked 9 deer (at least 3 bucks) that ran across a field RIGHT in front of us! I couldn't get my camera out fast enough to capture the beauty!

*Austin resting in the middle of a field.

*In my balaclava :) So much fun!

*The view from where we rested! Directly down the hill is US-12 & Harry's Furniture

*Alissa jumping a drift back at the Robison house

*I could never quite get my little camera to capture Austin jumping....I'll have to get out my 50D next time to see if I can capture the moment!

Day 97 -- February 12

Today at school was a PD day full of many adventures....good thing there's no school on Monday! It was also the 29th annual Banana Split Party! Yum! Good times (and banana splits) were had by all and the evening wrapped up with everyone sitting down and enjoying the Vancouver 2010 olympic opening ceremony. I LOVE the olympics! GO TEAM USA! (and sometimes Team Canada too!)

*Our orchid blooming yet again! Beautiful!

*Fire in the hole!

Day 96 -- February 11

Happy Birthday Sweet 16 -- Chey!!!!!!!!!!! Can't believe my little cuz is driving today! Man do I FEEL OLD!

*Austin actually took this picture -- he thought he'd be cool and use my 50D...He actually did pretty well! Look at those vicious teeth & eyes on Sekoia!

*Here's the Sekoia we know and love...a little calmer!

Day 95 -- February 10

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!! We finally got our snow day! Most of lower Michigan did, too! It was beautiful to wake up to. It was even nicer because we found out the night before! Enjoyed sleeping in and playing in the snow with Tundra & Sekoia while Dad and Austin rode snowmobiles. It would have been count day at school so tomorrow we have count day (run all 8 classes) and then a PD day on Friday and no school Monday :) What a fun week!

*Two hats I crocheted this week. Pretty pleased with them!
