Snow Day

Well yesterday we got dumped on by the snow. We got over 12" and some places got over 24", it was crazy. The kids loved it. It was Ruby's first time in the snow. She loved it. Hudson made a slide in our front yard and went up and down.
Ruby was starting to get a bit cold.
Oops, too cold, time to go in.
I wouldn't let Hudson ride his new bike outside so he rode his old one. Can you believe the snow, its towering over him.
The snow was as tall as Ruby. She loved it. The snowsuit was perfect, but I have not been able to find snowboots small enough so she just wore some tennis shoes, she didn't seem to mind. She wasn't out very long anyways.
What a mean mom I am, I threw her in it and she wasn't too happy with me. I thought she'd like it, but I was mistaken.
My Aztec was covered, this is what it looked like just halfway through the day, and it snowed more after I brushed it all off. Trent and I shoveled three times yesterday and then woke up to shovel again. And they said another big snow storm is going to hit tonight. Looks like our backs won't get a break. I think its time for a snowblower.
And here's our house with all the snow. These pictures don't give it justice. It was probably the biggest snow Storm we've had since I was little. It was nice because Trent came home early because he was supposed to teach in Salt Lake, but it was so bad, so he cancelled class. Lets hope this next storm doesn't drop so much. Although we have been in a drought so I guess we need it.
