The last of the snow

The girls decided to make a snowman before it was all gone. Today was the first day the snow was wet enough to make anything with! We tried the other day but it was so powdery it wouldn't stick together. It is melting fast, we now have a mixture of crunchy snow or ice, where the snow had been packed down. Still trecherous but definitely getting better. We decided we would trade all this beautiful snow for Grandma & Grandpa any day!

now which horse power is more useful??

And more snow!!

It hasn't stopped yet, and its supposed to snow all day again tomorrow...by the time we went back outside to bring the horses in we had accumulated several more inches of snow. We even braved the elements to take supplies to Lindsay and Jake who are snowed in at the top of Kelly Rd. Nobody has school tomorrow due to the "inclement" weather. Darn, guess I'll just have to finish all my homework!

SNOW!!!!

The first snow of the year! It's always so much fun, until you have to drive somewhere. We had a wonderful time with the Murphy's last night, it was so good to see everyone, the kids are growing up so fast. We got pretty much the most beautiful tree on the place, and we are choosing to believe it's one of the Radiner (sp) trees that Cody helped with one summer! It's in the garage drying off right now, awaiting its adornment. We were lucky we left when we did last night as the snow was coming down fast and made driving slow. I think it is supposed to snow for a couple of days, more than likely there will be no school tomorrow. The kids are horribly upset as you can imagine..:)

Happy Thanksgiving!!

A day late but still well intended. Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, we ate too much (big surprise) but everything was good, although I missed the green bean casserole, since I am the only one who will eat it I decided not to make it. Dave got to go fishing and the girls made their candy calenders. It was pretty quiet and low key, OK it was boring but we are looking forward to a trip up north to see the Murphy's on saturday to get our tree! That should be fun, I got a call from Cody who was having fun with his friends and new friend (the cute blonde) and thought you might all like to see as well. It's very cold today and apparently there is a cold front moving in, good, maybe it will freeze up all the mud! Hope everyone enjoys their long weekend!!

And it hasn't even been a week!

since I have last posted! It's friday night and we thnkfully have our power back, which includes heat and water as well! Our power went out wednesday at 1:00 and came back on sometime today (friday) we don't know because we spent the night at a hotel last night, at least the girls and I did. Dave bravely stayed home with all the animals in the dark cold. It was sooo nice to have a warm shower and watch TV, the girls even got to check their myspace on the hotel computer, and they swam! We do have a lot of work ahead of us tomorrow with cleaning up the debris and re-building the puppy tent. The weather man promised it would be nice tomorrow before the next storm comes in and I'm sure he wouldn't lie! We still have one puppy left but not the little girl, we got gus back! long story but hopefully he will be gone soon, I have had lots of e-mails. That's all the new news, hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

Who wants a puppy???

Since this puppy is so incredibly cute, somebody must want her!! She is the last one left and she is all alone, except for the other four dogs! Today has been a good day to get stuff done, house cleaning, barn cleaning, homework, all kinds of stuff! It is back and forth on the rain today, cold for sure but sometimes even a little sunny. I have to go to work tonite, boo! not looking forward to that, but oh well...Tomorrow will be another day to get homework done, and I will be making a drive down to standwood to pick up Hailey. Hopefully someone will want to come and buy this cute little puppy soon!
