1st Snow fall

We didn't get our first snow fall until mid-November, so the boys were very ready to have some fun in the snow.  Ty went out while the big boys were in school and then again when the big boys got home from school.

This is what happens when Ty asks to make the hot chocolate all on his own!

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!!

I had forgotten it was winter

We have had such nice weather I had forgotten it is actually still winter.  We could not pass up the opportunity to play in the freshly fallen snow. 

This boy is such a stinker!!

My snow boys!

The boys were in snow heaven! This was the first time in years the big boys have gotten to play in more than a dusting of snow. Ty just walked around looking for good snow to eat. Trey and Tucker were busy making snow balls. I am happy I did get them to sit and take one good picture for me.



By the end of the day we ended up with a good amount of snow! Grampa went outside with the boys and he did a little bit of shoveling and of course the boys wanted to help shovel too, so Grampa went and found each of the boys a little shovel for them to use.

Ty playing in the snow

While the big boys were in school Ty wanted to play outside in the snow again. This time we bundled up, he let me put on his gloves and his snow pants without a fight. He was so excited. He was cracking me up because he would play then stop walk over to the tree and stand there and just take in the sights...it was so cute. His favorite thing to do was eat the snow. A couple of times he had a leaf or two mixed in the snow, but he didn't care much. I had to force him to come inside to warm up. He is my snow baby!

Spring has sprung!

I have been pleasantly surprised that winter has been much colder and longer than usual, but Spring is finally here! Spring has always been one of of my favorite seasons and I just love the weather here right now! It is very short lived, but we are definitely going to take full advantage of the amazing weather before the dreaded heat and humidity return. My daffodils have bloomed and are tree is sprouting some new leaves. I think the boys and I are going to try out some vegetable gardening this year...we are still in the planning process, but it sounds like fun!
