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!!

No wonder she is so fat!

I posted a while back about our fat cat Mocha...well this is one of the reasons she is such a fatty...

That darn cat....

Tucker has been complaining about Mocha sleeping with him at night. He keeps telling me that she keeps sleeping on his head, but everytime I go check on where Mocha is sleeping, she is usually in his bed, but nowhere near his head...well tonight I caught her....poor Tucker.

Our fat cat!

We have 2 cats...we got Mila from a family who needed to get rid of her because their daughter developed severe allergies, she is about 5 and we got her just about 2 years ago. She is a very little cat.... Then last September we decided we wanted another cat...Mila is not the friendliest of cats..to say the least...Vinny wanted a cat to play with and love on and Mila usually doesn't want anything to do with anyone besides me. So we went to this local animal shelter (it is also where we got our dog Terry) by our house (not the city one, a non-profit, no kill shelter) and picked out this very pretty tiny kitty named Mocha! She was so little and made Mila look like a huge cat...but man did she change in a year. She is such a piggy.....we can't keep extra dog food in the bowl because she will eat it and she will steal any type meat or cheese and she loves eggs. We are monitoring her food intake very closely now because we don't want her to be an unhealthy weight, but she has seemed to stop growing now....however she has gotten so big that she can barely jump it up onto our bed and onto the bathroom counter (where we keep the cat food).

Our sweet little kitty at about 8 weeks old.
