Yeah- we kept our power!

Hooray, we kept our power!! Darrell measured our driveway and we had 8 and a half inches of snow and a half inch of ice under it! The kids have had so much fun playing outside today. Our neighbors came over and helped build a fort/ cave.

Baylee was wondering why her Daddy was making her sit in the snow


I caught a quick smile- she still isn't thrilled about the snow and cold


I tried to get a few pictures of Dallin, he didn't want anymore so he hid from me!

Yesterday was not quite as fun since the snow actually hurt while it was coming down- it would pelt you in the face.


Yes, that is a swimming pool in our yard- somehow it hasn't made it INTO the garbage can yet...
Darrell shoveled the drive way for THREE HOURS! We love having a 3 car garage, but I know he was cursing it today!


Lexi went to a birthday party last week where she had to dress as her favorite Hollywood person/ actress/ famous person. She chose Selina Gomez. The hard part was getting the invitation one day before the party- I have NO Hollywood supplies! I ran to Wal Mart to find something that could work. Luckily there is the new Miley Cyrus brand- I normally ignore that section, but I found some cute things for my girls.
After getting her ready I had to take a picture- she looks so grown up!! My little girl is not so little anymore!

Ashlee had her TREC showcase and did Mad Scientist They learned about all kinds of scientists and what they invented. She did her showcase on Marie Curie. She kept talking about Marie Curie, and I thought she was saying mercury- I have issues!
I love that the girls get to participate in this program to keep them challenged, I ask myself all the time where these smart kids came from! I hope they keep their desire to be challenged.

No Way!! That is a lot of snow! Is your school going to be canceled for a week now? Glad you guys are enjoying it! Lexi does look so grown up, and good job to Ashlee on her science project. I don't even know who Marie Cure is, samrtie!

The snow looks like such fun. Bailey looks so cute all bundled up. Your girls are definately growing up quick. I hate that don't you? Time flies by to quickly.

Thanks for your encouraging comment! I had to laugh about the three car garage and shoveling because chuck just shoveled one lane and hoped for the best;).
