HOLY SNOW, BATMAN!!!!

Last week we got a ton of snow!!!  It was awesome because it was wet snow, so we were able to build snowmen, snow forts, and throw some snowballs (just an FYI for those that don't know, CO has very dry powdery snow that you can't make anything with).  The snow was so plentiful that the boys even had a snow day and that never happens ( I only remember 2, maybe 3 snow days in my entire school years here)!!!  It was such a blast and we were outside for over 3 hours!  Plus the weather has stayed cold and it has even snowed another 1/2 inch or so yesterday, majority of the snow is still sticking around 5 days later which also rarely happens here!!! 

This amount of snow fell in about 3 hours!!!

The cat thinking she might want to go see what the snow is all about, but she decided she didn't want to venture out!

working on the snow fort..we eventually made 3 of them and had a snowball fight!

The dog being crazy and running around...she loves snow!

Having fun with my boys!!

Did I mention??

...that we (or more specifically my brother) got a dog!  Since he is staying here too it is the family dog.  We rescued her from the humane society and she is seriously an amazing dog.  She is calm, sweet, good with the kids, only barks when necessary, and walks great on the leash.  We renamed her Kali, because she was a stray and didn't respond to the name they gave her (which was Brownie).  She is about a year and a half and even my mom and dad who weren't too excited about getting a dog really like her.
