We love the Snow!!



So, as many of you have already read on the other hundreds of blogs...we got snow baby! And alot of it! At first it was just the snow flurries and we didnt think it would stick, but we were wrong! It was a winter wonderland! In fact, it snowed so bad that Jake left work to come home, which is normally a 15 min drive, and 2 hours later he called me to tell me he was stuck! His car got stuck in the snow! Luckily my brother in law John has a big 4wheel drive truck and came to help him! He towed Jake home and after over 2 1/2 hours Jakey was finally home! (Poor John was spotted towing Jake and got asked to tow about 4 other people! Sorry John but thanks a ton! We owe ya!) So, it started snowing that morning and was still snowing when we went to bed that night! My kids LOVED it! Especially Ryleigh! She has been asking for it to snow since October so she was so excited! She never once complained about it being cold or that she was wet or anything! She basically lived outside! For 2 days straight the kids woke up and asked to go outside so we got snow clothes on ( what little we had) and went out and played. Then we would come in after a while (only b/c Jax wanted to..not on Rys request!) and 30 min later after they thawed they wanted to do it all over again! And dont worry...we did. It never snows here, especially like this, so I was not about to tell them they couldnt go play in it! I let them go out whenever they wanted for however long. I knew it wouldnt last long and I wanted them to enjoy it! And boy they did! We had snow ball fights, built large snowman, built forts, all kinds of stuff! It was great and we hope it snows again real soon!

Love Jake's 6 foot snowman! Our snow has been too powdery to roll up. I want to borrow your snowman for Ethan. :)

Sure love you all!

So fun! Ry is such a cutie. It was such a blast while it lasted!
Actually I think that's the best part, is that it didn't stick around long at all. It was just right!
