Let it Snow!!

The kids have really enjoyed the time off from school to create snowmen. forts, snowball fights, tracking snow and mud in the home and driving mom crazy. Here are a few pics of the scenery.

We had just come in from playing in the snow that was dumped on us. All the snow suits were still a little wet when we got a call at 8:30 pm. It was a friend in the ward who had some snowmobiles and wanted to know if he could come over so our families could enjoy them. I asked him what time he wanted to come over tomorrow. He said he wanted to come now! I got the OK from my boss (Carleen, and my landlord). So we got the kids all suited up for the third time that day. We live on 12 acres and we took advantage of all of them. The Carrs have eight kids but only brought 4. They tied sleds to the back and away we went. It was so much fun. By the time we ended that night it was 11:30. Kerragyn even stayed awake. She just rode in front of me while I drove one of the snowmobiles.

Mike Carr is in Young Mens so he suggested that we have the Deacons over 2 days later on Sat 12/20. We brought over half drums for fires, cooking stove for hot chocolate and chili. They even brought some snowboards for the back of the property. There is a hill you go down which hits a trail then drops off @ 8 ft. The boys snowboarded down then went off the drop off. Danyon did a 180 and landed hard on his bum. It hurt but he was stoked he made it out alive! The boys and Briaunna and Kerragyn and even Carleen had a blast riding on the tubes. I took it easy and just frightened them by my driving the snowmobile. It was a great time. Maybe he will let me borrow them to use for a family gathering with you guys!! We should have enough snow!!
