Snow - V-day - Grandpa and Ooo-Fah

I have a little catching up to do - sorry - it has been crazy in the Gonzales household to say to the least. Here are some pictures from the last two weeks. First for Christmas, Heidi received from Val a nice very cute bow holder. Of course, Heidi did NOT want to put any bows on it, just play with it. Well I don't know what changed but now she has to wear a bow or clips or something to school every day and at the end of the day, she has to put her bow n her zebra holder. She loved it! She wanted to show it off...

 Heidi loves paying in my shoes and she is such a little poser!!!

Weird, yes it snowed again. Heidi is such a ham outside - she loves the snow. She was pretending that her lawn mower was like daddy's snow blower.

We received our Valentine from Heidi and we were a little confused. It says: "Heidi loves her Mom & Dad & Uncle Jack" Now who is Uncle Jack? We have no idea. We had a good laugh on that one. Her teacher probably thinks we have some random guy living in our basement that we make her call "Uncle Jack". Love it!

Heidi received several gifts for Valentine's Day and was having a ball...now a day filled with candy could contribute to her goofy-ness as well...

This past weekend, we were lucky enough to have Grandpa Jeff come and fly in to see us. Not only did Heidi get to play and have fun - but he also painted our living room and dining room! Score! One night we made our crockpot version of beef short ribs - they are delicious and I will share the recipe if anyone wants them. This is my dad letting Chris try some of the meat... nice.

Pause for a bacon moment...

While Grandpa was painting, Heidi got to play with tape. I'm still finding painters tape everywhere in this house!

We went to the Natural Hisotry Museum again and Heidi always enjoys being the tour guide...

I love this - Heidi wanted to pose next to the platypus....because she likes Perry the platypus from the show Phineas and Ferb so much. (It's on Disney - check it out - its not half bad)

Now for a little Ooo-Fah - sorry I have had these for a couple of weeks. They aren't that great of pictures but pictures just the same... Side profile

 Face to the right and whole body (creepy looking)

 I think that is showing a hand - I really don't know this one...

Now for some more random cell phone pictures... Heidi sometimes crawls into our bed in the early morning. My theory is she hears Chris leave and then comes on in. Hey - its for only an hour - and whatever - well this morning she crawled in and I got up to go to the bathroom. I come back to this. We have a giant king size bed and she takes MY spot... booger.

If anyone is ever in Cleveland - you have to try this sandwich. Its from a place called Slyman's - they are famous for their corn beef and other type meats. I think my dad was in heaven!

I got a new phone - an iphone - yep - I'm finally in the 21st century. I love it. I was hesitant to get it as Chris has one and I hate his. But then I realized its mainly how he organizes his apps and once I got mine to my liking - I'm in love. Here is my first picture...

A final random shot of Grandpa and Heidi at another one of our favorite restaurants - Fatheads! Everyone that has come to visit - loves it and so do we! It was so nice to have Grandpa here. Heidi was getting pretty home sick for the grandparents. It was perfect timing. We hope this will hold her over until we can get back to Omaha for a visit!
