white out

i just had to change the blog header. the warmness of the old one almost made me sad when i saw it. i missed it so much. so here is the new winter header... i cant believe how much snow we have had recently! this is the most i have ever seen here and that has actually stayed for days. since saturday it has been snowing off and on here so the snow that hits the ground stays and the temps have been so cold, none of it is really melting off. the kids only went back to school for three days after christmas and have been off again for the 4th day in a row. probably wont have school again tomorrow either. our roads are pretty clear but since garret goes to a county school, the buses cant get to some of the county students b/c the roads are still bad, so they cancel school. garret loves it of course. we have actually been doing pretty good. i think having a little more space really helps this year. we were on top of eachother last year and it was a lot harder.

we went sledding on monday and i even got to go! we went out to the camp with some of our friends from sunday school and had a blast. kay was great to watch jori for me and even brenna when she just got pooped out. the hill is gigantic and super fast and then we take the all terrain vehicle back up the hill and dont have to hike back up. it is so fun. garret is a crazy guy on the hill, he just loves it. rae was very brave too. she loved going down by herself, she just needed someone at the bottom to stop her. a great friend gave us a little video camera for christmas and we took some little video. i need to figure out how to get it on the blog and i will share soon. i didnt bring my camera. i wanted to just enjoy this time :)
