Snow Shoveling is Hard Work!

The boys were out again to shovel the driveway!

Tyler in his year-round attire of shorts works on the sidewalk.

Justin works at the snow and ice on the driveway as Max supervises.

Tyler, Justin and James work on the neighbor lady's driveway again. While they were still shoveling it started snowing AGAIN!

It just keeps SNOWING!!!

Last night Tyler went out to see how thick the snow was and after he came back in I went to look- and what did I see? Footprints not shoe or boot prints...FOOTprints!!! Crazy kid!


Later he asked me to take a picture of him eating Lucky Charms in the snow. I said yes and followed him out to take the picture. He sat down in the snow in shorts and started eating his bowl of cereal! WOW!

That's my boy...

After Justin was done sledding and playing in the snow he cleared our driveway and our single neighbor lady's driveway. What a good kid!!!

Snow Days...

No school for the boys today. Snow draws the kids to the big hill at the end of our street..."dead man's hill". Justin tries out his "snowboard style" sledding toy.


Heading up the hill for another run down.

And again...

Justin and Tommy ride tandem. Tommy sitting with Justin standing behind.

The results? a wipe out!

Wind, Rain and yes, SNOW on June 6th!!!

Today I went on a field trip with Justin's class to Mt. Saint Helens! We left school early (7:45am) and returned late (6:10pm). I was one of the lucky ones that got to drive my car. We took a school bus and 4 private vehicles. It was a short 263 miles round trip! Here Justin is at our 2nd stop...the Weyerhauser Forest Learning center. We hiked in the rain and wind to a lookout to see Elk herds. But NO LUCK! The ranger said the weather was too bad and they were not out. The valley behind Justin was over 100 feet deeper before the eruption left its mudflow and debris here!


Here Justin and Casey are filling out their assignments that they had to do at each stop. Not all fun and games!

Posing for a class picture at the top! At the Johnston Ridge Observatory...SNOW!!! And it was SNOWING! In June!!!

As soon as they got out of the car the snow ball fight began! They were all soaked to the skin!

More fun in the snow!

Finished off the trip with a stop at Burger King! Mac, Justin, Casey and Brandon model their crowns!

We were treated to a snow day this past week. The boys sure were happy that there was no school. Justin wanted to take this picture of me because he thought it was pretty funny that I got covered with snowflakes while trying to capture pictures of him in the snow!



The beginning of the snow fall. Justin enjoyed trying to catch snowflakes on his tongue!



We eventually got about 2 inches of snow on the ground, but it didn't last too long! Maybe next year...
