Snow Days

We have become quite the snow bunnies here in Colorado. The weather here is very different from Arizona. It can be a warm sunny 68 degrees one day and two days later it's 3 degrees and snowing. After a good snow storm the kids are itching to go out and play...


I shoveld our driveway and the kids and I piled the snow to make a snowman. It took us a good 30 minutes to get it piled and shaped into this little midget. Then Crew says to me, "Now can we make the mom and dad snowman?" HA! I told him to go right ahead!

There's our little house in the midst of the snow... I think two or three days later we got plowed with another 7 inches...it was crazy!

There was lots and lots of powdery snow coming down since the tempurature was way below zero. It covered everything in this wonderful white fluff. This is the tree just outside our trailer... beautiful!

We took the kids sledding at a hill just by our place and it was so much fun. Here is Emma standing up! She is thisclose to being a full time walker (finally)!! She stands up and takes a few steps on her own, it's so cute.

Emma and Dad after a ride down the hill. Emma loves the snow!

Here is Crew and me about to go down. Notice his eyes shut tight? He was excited to go down, and even went down two times all by himself, but every time his eyes were shut tight!

The night before all this I made some jalapeno poppers and stupidly used my fingers to de-seed the peppers. It took 3 days for the oils of pepper to get out of my fingers and I couldn't put my contacts in, hence the goofy glasses...

Kaylee took Crew down the hill a couple of times, and they both went flying each time! They plowed into the snow, got up, smiled, laughed, and walked back up the hill. They are troopers!

Emma's favorite thing is getting a sled ride on her tummy.
