How we spend our time

 Playing on the mountain of snow with our cousins.
(This is the top of a planer machine I believe....well, it was an oven for the girls ;-)

Snow boys

Update from James:

*THIS is my all-time favorite activity....disregard mom's last post.
*It's especially fun because Dad & Mom have a whopper of a cold, so I have access to a whole bunch of Kleenex's!!!! 
*I could use them on my nose, since it's STILL runny but it's more fun to eat them.
*I will be 1 next month already, maybe I'll get a new box of Kleenex!

James new-favorite activity...with help from his big brother ;-)  I think the sound effects are part of the fun for him, or maybe both of them  =)

You know you're in a blizzard WHEN...

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET PLOWED OUT!!!!

Snow boulders!

(Thanks Linda for sharing some pictures =)


***Jacob, Emily & Meri were snowed in at Grandpa & Grandma's during the blizzard Saturday and enjoyed every minute of it.
***I remember when snowdays were actually...Fun...I admit, it was beautiful, but that's about it.  We spent waaaaaay to much time trying to get vehicles un-stuck...I think each vehicle had at least one turn being stuck and getting pulled out. I know once we had 3 vehicles stuck at the same time....luckily for us, we still had a truck that wasn't stuck!
***The snowplow truck didn't cut it for this storm, we are very glad the CAT started and we were able to clean this snow away. 
***I believe we got about 2 feet of snow.  And, it's ONLY December! 
***Hope you all fared well through this storm if you were in it!

You know how the saying goes.

So do you think he'll get them by XMAS?!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to you Happy Birthday to you, Happy birthday dear Larissa, happy 5th Birthday to you!

The great hunt...

 The boys were THRILLED to put it mildly with the deer, well, bucks, that were shot. 

Jake with a buck...

And the end result....yup, venison venison and more venison!! Hehe, lucky we all like it =)
