Playing in the White Stuff!

I'm a little behind in blogging so be prepared for lots of new posts coming this way!


We spent Christmas in Eagar with Josh's parents. I left on Tuesday trying to beat a snow storm that was coming in and Josh came up with his Dad on Wednesday after they got done with work.

I barley made it before the storm, in fact by the time I was driving into town in was coming down so hard and the roads were completely snowed over. When I can't tell where I am on the road is when I'm done. So I was very grateful that I was in town! With in about 6 hours there was like 6 inches on the ground, and it kept on snowing all night long! The next morning we woke up to a lot of snow! My kids were so excited all they wanted to do was go out and play. We kept having to tell them to wait a little bit till the sun came up so it would warm up just a little.

Here is our adventure in the snow!

Emmy was my little snow bunny, lookin so cute and always willing to pose!

Tucker was so excited I couldn't ever get him to look at the camera. He had so much fun eating the snow and then telling me over and over "Mom don't eat yellow snow". I don't even know if he knows why we don't eat yellow snow! LOL Rylenn didn't really know what to do, She was just happy to be out in it!

This little girl I couldn't get enough of! She looked so cute all bundled up with those chubby cheeks sticking out! I think she should be on the cover of a magazine(ok so I'm a little biased)!
I tried to convince my kids to wait to make snow angels, So they wouldn't be soaking wet right from the start. We didn't have real snow clothes on, and I knew they would freeze. But they couldn't help themselves! The snow was so fluffy that it made perfect Snow Angels!

Tucker and his snow angel
Even Ry Ry got the idea and wanted to make an Angel!
The kids thought that it was so funny that the swing set was covered in snow! So they spent sometime playing and having a blast on it. It was a little different then when they play on it in the summer time with the sprinklers turned on!


Tucker taking his turn down the slide! This kid is fearless! He always has to do things back wards, upside down, head first, you name it and he'll do it! You can't really tell but the slide is on a hill so when you get to the bottom you kind of fly off. It was so funny watching Tucker fly like Superman and then do a belly flop in all the snow! He loved it and did it again and again and again!

I don't know why but this is one of my most favorite pics of our whole Christmas week! Tucker loved the snow!!!!

Good ol fashion snow ball fight. Grandma even got in on the action! There was so much snow on the tramp that the kids just stayed up there and made their snowballs!



Rylenn was just picking up the snow and throwing it, no time to make snow balls!

I love how Haydenns arms stick out like the Michelin Man!

I know everyone is wondering where we got our adorable beanies! ha ha ha!They were a gift given to us from my brother. He brought them home to us from his mission in Peru! Thanks Cam they worked great and my kids looked adorable!
