Thank You To My Family

I just wanted to post a HUGE Thank you to my whole family. A lot of you read my blog and thought this would be an easy way to reach out. I wanted to let you all know how much I appreciated your open arms for our large group of kids and dogs at Xmas. From Rick playing chess with Tyler to Owen wanting to play with Haley all the time. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you all.

On another note, I have some good pics from the festivities. I will try to post them soon. We still have Tyler and Haley until Thursday, so busy times still this week.

I Love Snow, BUT...

It can go away now. I can't believe that we have had to deal with winter weather for a week here in Vancouver. And it isn't even winter until tomorrow (officially). We have gotten over 4 inches of snow today and they are saying we could see 4 more tonight before it changes to freezing rain...Yippee! Hope we don't lose power. I have been baking cookies like a mad woman. Had nothing else to do.
And Steve and I have tickets for the Wonderball with Storm Large tonight in downtown Portland. We are not going for fear that we would not be able to get home and right now even malls are closing early because of the weather.

OK...Now that I am done whining, here are some pictures from today and tonight of the snow. Bubba loves it.

Push the snow, push the snow. This was about 2 o'clock today and it is already all covered again.


2 PM today



6 PM today



Bubba Loves Snow!!! He runs along with his head down and eats it as he runs along.



Maggie was catching snowflakes on her tongue. She feels like she is back in Alturas.

Misc. Stuff

I finally downloaded pictures off of the camera and realized it had been a while since I posted anything on the blog.

Owen had one of his birthday parties at the beach with all of us. It was fun to watch him enjoy the cake and presents.



I don't think that you could find any prouder Grandparents. Ruary was not even an hour old when this picture was taken.



We are not sure what kind of cologne Matt is using, but both Harper and Owen seemed to like it. Eau d Cupcake, perhaps?



HOHOHO!!! Merry Christmas from Uncle Steve!
