Photo Blizzard page 3

We'll we couldn't have a photo blizzard without pictures from our "real" snow blizzard!  Everything was shut down and Rich's office even closed for two days so I enjoyed having him home to help entertain the kids! :)  We jumped ahead and got to work on some more projects that Rich had originally planned on doing the next weekend.

The snow was about 8-10 inches, but the wind was crazy and had blown it around and built it up into some pretty good drifts!



 Putting the new home theatre seats together, and vaccuming out the spider webs that come from sitting in a garage for a while.


 Jojo is NOT a fan of windy cold snow!

Snow bunny all bundled up and ready to go out in the snow.  Only problem is it took her so long, the big kids were already headed back inside and no one wanted to play outside with her.  She still was a little sick, so I didn't mind that she couldn't be outside very long, but she wasn't too happy with it.

It snowed on Monday night, and the kids were out of school Tues, Wed, Thurs, and Fri...  Rich was home Tues, and Wed and then went back to work on Thurs. 

This week the snow waited until Tuesday night to come.  Today is Wed, and I'd be shocked if the kids go back to school tomorrow, or even Friday... we shall see. 

Here are some pictures of the girls out playing in the snow today.  It's not nearly as windy as it was last week so they lasted outside a lot longer!

Rocky Mountains and Idaho

We left Rich's sister and brother and their families in Keystone and headed on to Julie's family reunion in Island Park Idaho. The drive was gorgeous. I can't get enough of the views as we drove through the mountains. I was surprised at the quality of pictures I was able to get through the windshield of the car while we were speeding along at 60+ mph!  (sorry for the wierd formatting of pictures... trying different options of hosting sites here! :)) Upon arrival at the cabin in Idaho we wasted no time and started the games and fun. Grandma (my mom) had some things she shouted out and everyone that fit in the group would go and sit by the fireplace for a group picture... "A" names, Born in Utah, Born east of the missisippi, etc... it ended with all the girls and all the guys taking group pictures. The next day we went on a gorgeous hike. The kids surprised us and just took off on the hike. We had to send Rich off to catch up with them instead of tagging bac...

House projects

After a few weeks of Rich working from home, we decided that we needed to do some moving around of stuff in the house.  The exercise equipment needed to be taken out of the office, and we made the decision to dismantle Alex's room since it's downstairs and that would become the new exercise room.  His stuff got packed up, and the room was painted and the treadmill was put into that room (which was a feat of it's own!  It won't come out of that room until we move away, and maybe not even then! lol! The office got a coat of paint as well and two of the bathrooms.  Now the entire house (except for closets) has been painted since we had moved in 3 years before. But then the biggest house project was thought of, and debated and decided on.  We had always said that we would like to redo the kitchen in this house, and decided to tackle the project.  We found cabinets online we liked and worked with a company to decide on our cabinet layout, and we ordered them....

Our Dog Tale...

So... we have spent the last three weeks looking at puppies online, finding one that would be great for our family. We found an adorable little 4 month old black lab from a lab rescue in Tulsa, about an hour and a half drive away. We contacted them, and filled out the adoption application paperwork. Sent pictures of our fenced back yard, and got approved to adopt her. The lab rescue had named her Regina, for their records mainly- they generally called her puppy and girld so that she would easily adapt to a new name. We bought a large crate (she would get big!) and food bowls and a collar, leash and tag for her and on Saturday we drove to Tulsa to pick her up. The lab rescue was doing an adoption fair, so they had all the dogs they were trying to adopt out at a Petsmart and we meet them there. We got there around 1pm. As I was walking over there were a few people asking about a cute little puppy, and I overheard that it was Regina, and she was being adopted... I then said that I was Jul...
