It Snowed!

One day last week we woke up to SNOW!

The kids wanted to play in it so bad, but they all had to go to school.

After school they had a blast!

Weston has already had to shovel the walk, he loves it!

Playin' with the AZ cousins

On Sunday after the wedding we all went up to Gramie's to spend sometime with the cousin's. Lyn's cousins and their kids form AZ. Luckily I had enough extra snow stuff for everyone to play in the snow and not get too cold. The kids and the adults had a blast!

Kyle, he wouldn't wear his gloves.
After playing in the snow they all came in for some quite time(naps), my kids enjoyed watching and playing the cousin's gameboys. A novelty for my kids. Jacob and Weston had a good time together, and were sad when Jacob had to leave for AZ. Maybe we can visit them next!

Finally Old Enough

Weston has been anticipating the day he was Old Enough to help shovel the driveway with his Dad. So this morning he got up and ready for school and he finally got the chance to help.
He did a great job too, and Lyn even showed him how to spread the ice melt on after. He was beeming with pride when he came in to eat breakfast.
I was thankful Lyn took the time to show Weston how to properly shovel the driveway. Weston just loved helping his Dad.

On Sat. it snowed a lot and Lyn was off hunting and I had to go to the store and the driveway was full of snow. So Weston says "Mom we need to clear the snow off the driveway. Come on I'll help ya." So we head out to shovel and he shows me how to do it like Dad does it, I guess Dad's way is the only way. When we were done He says "Mom you can go in the house, Dad showed me how to put the ice stuff on and I'll do it!" He was so funny about it all, and I was so proud!

Snowman Snow!

A Couple of weeks ago we woke up to a winter wonderland. The snow only lasted one day, but the kids made the most of it! After Bekah got home from school, we all went out to build a snowman. Bekah started the bottom piece clear out in the middle of the grass lot, and it was huge and heavy by the time we rolled it to the corner of the house. The next two parts weren't quite so bad. Then Bekah helped me put the decorations on it with the snowman kit, while Ray filled in the sides with snow. When we were all done we took this picture, then came in the house for hot choc., because we were tired and cold. That was about 2:15 p.m.

By the time Ellie and Weston got home from school at 3:30, someone had knocked down our snowman. The highschool and middle school kids get dropped off by the bus at 2:45, so they must have knocked it down. I was mad, and Ray & Bekah were so sad, But thank goodness I love snowmen, so of course I took a picture. I'm grateful for that!
