these 2 are always ready for a little golfing action

our sweet girl :)

well, tyler could not let the remainder of the snow go without making a "bigger and better" snowman. the kiddos had fun snowball fighting and building the snowman. i had a fun time trying to get some more pics. i imagine that the snow will be completely melted tomorrow. i have high hopes that it will snow again here. a girl can dream!!! :)

snow day 2!

playing by the frozen pond behind our house

ice skating on the sidewalk...scott had a not-so-graceful moment! :)

just in case you didn't notice, we LOVE snow! it so rarely happens here that we have to experience it to the fullest. tyler and the kiddos had fun bouncing golf balls across the frozen ponds on the golf course, throwing sheets of ice onto the frozen pond and watching it shatter, ice-skating on the sidewalks.....they had a ball today. i have been keeping (trying to, at least) up with laundry. we have gone through it the last 2 days. but, i won't complain. these past 2 days have been so amazing......i have been captivated by the beauty of the snow, the joy on the face of my children and husband and the excitement that we have shared. thank you, God, for such a wonderful blessing!!!!

winter pic

i took this pic early this morning...with the new camera (ha ha!). tyler and i liked it for some reason. the contrast is really neat and it just looks cold..... thought i would share it.

after a fun day in the snow...

being a snow bunny is tough! :)

more tubin' adventures

tyler wanted a few more action shots, so here we go! you know brooke and scott, of course. the others pictured here are some friends of ours....gavin (scott's age), rebekah (gavin's aunt) and billy (rebekah's boyfriend). anyway, notice the cute dog in the tube with rebekah. that is her yorkie, haley. the pic you see with the snow flying....that's billy. can you tell that we LOVE snow!!!!!! :)

tubing (in the snow!)

uncle charles took us tubing behind his truck today....and boy did we have fun!!! the kiddos loved it and i really loved it because i had the best seat. i was in the back with the heat on and camera in hand. well, not my new camera... we took our old one because it does video. anyway, after tubing, we came back here and uncle charles made snow-cream (vanilla for the kids) and added a little kahlua for the adults. yum!!!! did i mention how much i love living "in the country" where you can do this type of thing??? what fun!!!!!!!
