Digging out!


The kids had a great time playing on the mound of snow Jason made for them with the loader. Plans are to make a mustang out of the snow, so he tried to gather as much of the snow at our house as possible. They have really had a good time playing outside, since it's rather warm for having so much snow on the ground. It was about 30 degrees, so bundled up with all our snow gear, it was just right!

It was getting a little dark when I took the videos and photos, so I apologize if they are a little difficult to see, but you can clearly hear the giggles and sounds from the kids playing!

We are slowly digging out today. In front of the plant when I arrived this morning was a 4 foot deep drift, probably 30 feet long and 20 feet wide. And the snow on the street coming in here is over 10 feet tall! It's unbelieveable.

Some friends of ours made eggs out of the snow, and painted them up.
It is so cool to see all the things we can come up with when we're given the gift of a wonderful snow, and a day off to enjoy it with our family!

Here's one more video of the kids having a good time playing with Daddy and Laney in the snow.We hope you are all able to dig yourselves out of the snow and get out and about again. Heaven knows 2 snow days in a row can cause a bit of cabin fever... Especially when this is snowstorm number 3 or 4 in about 2 weeks!


Stay warm today, and play in the snow while it lasts!! Have a good afternoon!

Really not much going on here today. I've been studying like a mad man, it's cold here, kids are busy, same old same old. I did find out yesterday my Aunt Marlene (Mom's sister) has non-Hodgkins lymphoma. She is doing some chemo treatments in the next couple weeks, and we'll see where it goes from there -- please keep her in your prayers. I also need prayers for my friends still struggling financially. Times are tough, and we all have to make sacrifices we typically wouldn't, but hang in there -- it will all be worth it in the end. One resource I can recommend on money expertise is DaveRamsey.com -- he's the guy responsible for the Financial Peace University that Jason and I took a couple of years ago. We wouldn't be where we are today if we hadn't taken advantage of that valuable resource. There is a link on the right side of my blog to his website -- check it out. I'd also be willing to talk to you about his information, too. Let me know! ...

Christmas Lists

I finally took a few moments and got the Christmas lists posted for our family!  I find it hard to believe we are at this point in the year already.  This has been a crazy year, full of roller-coaster emotions, such busy times, a few slow times, losses for some, gains for many, but it has been another year passed nonetheless. This year, we've seen many changes, and with each change, we learn a little bit more about who we are and what we're capable of. I'm going into this holiday season with a warm heart, and I hope you will too.  God has great things in store for all of us, and I can't wait to see each morning what He's prepared for me. Happy Holidays! Side note about the lists -- This is verbatim what the kids had on their lists, and I did not split the list between any of the family, so plan accordingly.  We won't be concerned about duplicates, as we enjoy shopping for ANY reason.  We're grateful for the thought you put into each gift, and are tha...

   This past weekend, we traveled to Deadwood with my “work family”, and had a great time. Some of the guys went golfing up near Sturgis (Boulder Canyon) during the morning, but most of us ladies had spent the morning checking out the sales in the citywide garage sales. We started off the trip by meeting together at the office and “caravan-ing” the ladies to the Prairie Berry Winery. With Jason’s back being injured recently, he wasn’t up for golf, so he decided to be our “DD”…          I had never been to a wine tasting, nor a winery, and never had been to Prairie Berry.  It snowed on us on the way up (see photo at right). What an enjoyable experience it was! We were allowed to try up to five wines, (only a half an ounce each), so I tried a variety, albeit most of them were the sweet wines. I am just not a fan of dry or bitter wines. I ended up purchasing some of their infamous “Red Ass Rhubarb” and some “Calamity Jan...
