Alestair

He did get dressed himself.
Yes the shorts are on inside out
Yes there is snow outside.

Alestair's "birsday party". All his friends came.
like a billion of them they ate cookies, spilled
water and left. 

Who says boys don't do anything like "tea parties"
Yeah right. They just call them birthday parties!

He has an idea! So super cute!

Emmett...He is cute.

Snow Day 6

It hasn't stopped snowing. Until I went out to take these. I wanted to play with the boys instead of carrying my camera so we didn't take pics the last couple days. IT IS SO COLD! 

My foot prints. kinda almost making it to the cement.
This is under a bit of tree cover as well.

The wind came with the snow. Snow Boy tried to stay up...
He is failing.

Just beautiful!

Yes we ended up with a little more than a foot.

Under the eves. Our wagon is completely filled and stuck. 

Our "cleared" walkway. As soon as we would clear it;
the snow came back to it. Like a magnet.

So

Snow Day 3--Videos!

Snow Boy was put together today. 

Yep still snowing! You can see in the videos how it snowed. It pretty much snowed like that since the 15th of Jan until it stopped. It was wonderful. We are very happy. Wish Robert could be here with us more but still very very happy! As you can see...it snowed a bit after we took pictures yesterday and continued through the night. These were in the afternoon.

Yes Emmett is still driving in the snow that is as high as the
wheels of his car...because that is safe and how we do it here.

"We stopped. Why?"

Tried to build another snowman but this snow was so powdery
we couldn't get it stick together. We just rolled a ball of snow
around until it fell apart. Emmett tried to pick it up. He is super strong!

I tried to sled with Emmett on a garbage can lid. It didn't work .
Emmett and Alestair got to do it and had fun.

Snow Day 2

Well it stayed past church and kept snowing. Still hadn't gotten under the trees very well. We were happy! It was freezing! Robert has to work to get all of his workers out and make sure they are doing their jobs safely and all that so we don't see him as much when its snowing. He usually comes home for dinner and ends up leaving sometime in the night to come back for a possible nap in the afternoon and then to leave again. 

Emmett wiping off the car. You can't drive in
the snow with snow on your car. Duh!

Can you see the "OH NO" face he is making? Just a bit? He lost his boot and
got stuck..OH NO!

Alestair really liked my scarf and insisted on wearing for
the rest of the day.

And we have snow! Day 1

It snowed. Only a little more than a dusting...you know like it happens here in Washington close to the beach and all. So we made sure to play in it before church thinking it would be gone when we got out.

He has a really good arm! Not to mention some aim!

I think this is my favorite picture right now!

Emmett HAD to drive in it. He is a daredevil!

He was just looking at the snow. Told me he loved it.

Our neighbor's second tree fell down.

Just over a year from the first one falling down straight across the cul-de-sac. This one fell sideways into our yard. Missing our house by 7ft and a tree. The landlord next door tried to tell us it was going to take 3weeks to clean it up. Our landlord didn't like that and talked with the school (building across the street) and they got the city to call out and tell the next door landlord he had three days to clean it up. When I took these pictures. It had sat for 2 days and dropped 6ft. People were walking under it not noticing it was there. They thought it was just a large bush. I am so glad no one got hurt. 

Roots over 6ft.

Roots...

see looks like a bush. This is from the roots to not even
showing the top of the tree.

again really bush like due to poor lighting. I didn't want the
boys out there. You never can tell with boys. Anyway this is the
full tree. from half of my front yard to the stairs of my neighbor's
yard.
