Digging out

Dale and I pause for a picture before we continue shoveling.



Bryson next to the camper.










Forget the ice scraper! This job calls for a shovel!


Bryson and Kenzie jump off the shed roof into a mound of snow!




Even my 6'3" husband needed a ladder for this job!





The deck at the back of the house.


The children's play set.

Even our furry four-legged neighbor came over to help! Cami loosened the snow, making it easier to shovel!

Here is Bryson standing in the snow after our first 24 inches.




This is our mailbox also after the first 24 inches. The second big storm, a few days later, completely covered it!


Our picnic table and benches with 24 inches of snow.




Our picnic table and benches hidden by the second big storm which brought and additional 21 inches of snow!



Bryson, this time waist deep in the white stuff!



Kaden turns 4

Kaden turned four on February 3rd. We celebrated at home with pizza, cake and ice cream.



After the meal Kaden opened his gifts and had hugs for the gift-givers.



Kaden is still a big fan of Bob the Builder!
Our biggest laugh of the night came when Kaden opened his gift from Avery. Having nothing else to give Kaden, Avery decided just to give him money. When Kaden opened his gift and pulled out a $5.00 bill, we weren't sure who was more surprised, Kaden or Avery! He had intended to only give $1.00, but in his hurry to get it ready, wrapped a $5.00 bill instead! The look on Avery's face was priceless! He quickly grabbed the $5 saying, "Wait! I didn't mean to do that!" He ran back to his room and re-wrapped a $1.00 bill instead!
Our family LOVES Cheez-It crackers, myself included! When I saw Toy Story Cheez-Its, I had to get a box for Kaden, who is also a big Toy Story fan.
I found this Toy Story hot chocolate gift set clearanced from Christmas that I knew Kaden would love! Brady gave me the money for it so he would have a gift to give Kaden.



At age four Kaden enjoys watching movies, playing computer games, practicing his mandolin, playing with toy cars, trucks and tractors, and playing with his favorite stuffed cats and dog. He loves to eat chicken nuggets, pizza, cheese and peanut butter Fluff sandwiches. His favorite candy is Reese Peanut Butter cups. When he grows up he wants to be a monster truck driver!
Happy Birthday my beautiful baby boy!
