We've Got Ourselves a SNOW DAY!!

Yes - it's true. It is still October and school was cancelled today because of a blizzard that hit last night! It has been snowing all day long and the wind is blowing it into large drifts. These are the kinds of things we expect to see in Dec. and Jan., but OCTOBER??? I love it!!

So what have we been doing today? Here are my photojournalist skills at their best!

Jetta has not left my side, and makes a great foot warmer!

Brayden has read almost an entire book.

Devin has worn his Halloween costume and has played Ninja while destroying a cardboard box. (Very entertaining to watch!)

I made homemade bread to go with our sausage and lentil soup for dinner. (Carrabba's recipe!)


This is what our front yard looks like.

This is what our backyard looks like!

It's been a fun day! Who knows, if the weather keeps up, we might have another one tomorrow!

Catching Up

It would be impossible to recount everything that has happened since my last entry. So I'm not even going to try! Suffice it to say that we have been very busy, and yet very happy. We took our annual camping trip to Rocky Mtn. National Park in July. It was cold way up on the tundra, and the boys got extremely dirty!

Then we made a trip to Yellowstone! We met Eric's brother and sister there and had a fun time watching all the cousins play together and seeing all the amazing sites of Yellowstone.
We've now started a new school year. Brayden is in 4th grade, and Devin is in 2nd grade. They are doing well. I am working at their school again this year on a reading literacy team. I get to work with many students grades K-5 and give them intense reading interventions. Love it!
So that is where we are now. Halloween is on it's way, and then the Holiday Season is in full swing. I love this time of year! We've already had our 1st snow of the season, and we can't wait to get even more. Bring on the festivities!

What? I Have A Blog?

I have been informed by a few people (who shall remain nameless except for Janelle and Blaine) that I need to step it up in my blogging efforts. Apparently not posting anything in over a year isn't good enough! So I promise I will post something about our goings-on and maybe even put pictures up soon! Until then, enjoy the new background at least - Fall is here!!!
