Well, Folks...

...It's back to the old schoolhouse for me! =) In just two hours, I'll be hopping on a plane and taking a red-eye flight back to the other side of the country. I'm leaving this blog in Sarah's MORE than capable hands. HINT, HINT.

I hope y'all have a splendid rest-of-the-winter and spring. I'll see you in the summer, chicas!!

Much love!
Hannah

Quotables!!

Notable Quotables - December 2011
By the Pittelkows
Well.
Some of them, anyway. Joe didn't do much talking this month, I guess!

Dad: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.
Sarah: Yeah. A lot of the people can’t deal with the pressures of fame.
D: It’s never bothered me!!

Abby: Joe, put my hands together.

Hannah: Not now... later.
Sarah: What? Later?
H: Later.
S: Now?!

Sarah: I like these chips. They taste like July.

Hannah: I was benefiting the doubt.
Sarah: Don't doubt... the benefited!!!

Sarah: (stuffy British accent) I do not believe I deserve… (disgusted American accent) internet.

Hannah is singing in high voice outside when it's dark
Sarah: Stop it, you'll attract the coyotes!

Sarah: Oh, yeah? Was he a dweeb?
Hannah: No, he was engaged.

Sarah: When I cut Flame’s mane, I felt like I was cutting my first child's hair, ya know? I cried! I literally cried! I cried... I cried.

Mom’s getting ready to turn, and there’s another car approaching…
Mom: Don’t worry - I DO see this red truck but I'm gonna go anyway.
Sarah: Oh, it's a Dodge. It probably wouldn't be able to make it here in time anyways.

Sarah: *sarcastically* I just LOVE how they kill off perfectly healthy people in movies... just one after the other... chunk, chunk, chunk.

Roberta: WHY can't you be good for one second, Sarah?!?!?!?
Sarah: It's very hard... I find it strenuous on my health.

Sarah: Oh I like that app. It always sends me into stitches.
Abby: *totally serious* Where's stitches?!?
.
Hannah: I bet bees taste like soda. Fizzy, buzzy. I bet if soda could fly it would look like a bee.

AND! A special "guest" quotable from college...

Hannah: There’s a tailless cat running around campus.
Tyler: A tailless cat?
H: Yeah, like a cat without a tail.
T: I figured that’s what tailless meant.

yep. that's how they teach us intellectuals how to converse at college... hehe!!

Januaryness

It's about time somebody updated this thing, don't you think? Scratch that. It's PAST time!

-

So here's a little peek into what our lives have been like... at least since Christmas. =) Hope you enjoy, folks - and come back soon!! We'll try to keep you entertained. =)

Much love!

Hannah

for everybody... of course.

Do you see this? Our SAD lack of snow? Pretty bad, huh? =)

Okay, well... Christmas was awesome. I didn't have a "real" camera - *sniff, sniff* - so there aren't many "real" pictures. Toooooo bad.

We haven't been snowboarding/skiing *nearly* enough!! Maybe that's because most of the snow up there is pretty rough... :(

BUT! When it was good... it was good.

.

And the view is *gorgeous*, yes? I can still hardly believe that we live only 20 minutes from a ski hill. Can't get much better than that!

....

Despite the lack of snow, it's frigid outside most days. We've been going through tons of this...

....

And drinking TONS of this.
...

And somewhere in there... I got a new camera!! Yippppeeee!! My blog (and this one, too) will see the light of day again.

Sarah does some dog-lovin'.

...

And then we had to say goodbye to this dude. :( Yep, Joe went back down to ALERT... alllll the way to Texas - to finish the Paramedic course. We miss him!! *sniff, sniff*!

Dude, I'm doing a lot of sniff, sniffing in this post. Must be emotional.
...

Either that or I've caught a cold. Which might be why Sarah doesn't want us to see her - because maybe I gave it to the rest of the family. But it's okay, Sarah, because I put the picture in black and white.

...

Aren't I a good sister? =)
...

Oh, willya look at that creek? Yeah... when I first got home from school in December, it was up about a foot. See the layers of ice? It's pretty cool.

Oh, and this is the other side of the bridge. Same creek as up there, in the other post. Beauuuuuuty-fulll, huh? =)

.

Oh, yes. We have a toy barn that we can pick up and carry around. It's very handy.

Just kidddddding. But that would be great.
...Millie.... our... lovely... ish cow's daughter. =)

...

No, really. She is lovely. Really.
...

And she wants y'all to come back soon, okay? =)
