Our New Snowblower!!

Rick and Chuck decided that we (them and us) were going to need a snow blower because the snow keeps falling and we don't like shoveling. So They went into town and split the cost of a snow blower and came home to use it. It is very fun. We have used it twice and twice at Rick and Cheri's. So far we have 2 1/2 feet of snow still here and it looks like we will be getting more. You gotta love winter time!

My fireman to the rescue!

Yes I have my very own Fireman to shovel out my driveway. Well OK use our snow blower.

Note the time he is doing this... Yes 3 in the morning!

Yes we just got 10 more inches and counting of snow. It is dumping on us and I am so excited. We now have about 3 feet and it is still coming down. YEAH!!!

Matt Alaska misses you...LOL

For all You Boys Out There!!!

Do you remember once upon a time when you wanted to drive a fire truck? Well yesterday Chuck got to drive a fire truck during his training. He also got to use the fire hoses and spray water everywhere. Fun! Fun! Fun! Today he got his radio so when there is a fire or a call he gets to go. Yeah Him!

Sledding Fun!!!!!!

Today was the perfect day for sledding. It snowed almost all day and so we went sledding. It was fun. Chuck even got in on the action. Every school here has a sledding hill and a swimming pool. Some even have an ice skating rink.
