I'm sure you are all just sick of me!

It's snowing again here. Our Winter Storm warning has been extended AGAIN until 10am tomorrow. Here is what it currently says...

PRECIPITATION IS INCREASING ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... WITH TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING... THIS WILL CREATE AREAS OF FREEZING RAIN... SLEET AND SNOW. NEW ICE ACCUMULATIONS OF UP TO ONE QUARTER OF AN INCH ARE POSSIBLE... BUT MOST AREAS WILL LIKELY SEE SNOW THIS AFTERNOON... WITH NEW ACCUMULATIONS OF 1 TO 2 INCHES SNOW THIS AFTERNOON.

FREEZING RAIN... SLEET AND SNOW WILL TURN TO MOSTLY SNOW BY 5 PM THIS EVENING... WITH NEW ACCUMULATIONS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES TONIGHT. SNOW SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE ON MONDAY... WITH AN ADDITIONAL 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE... MAINLY IN THE MORNING.

What's funny to me is that we haven't seen ANY of the sleet or freezing rain. Only snow for us! So they are saying now we can have anywhere from five to ten inches of new accumulation on top of the almost foot and a half that we have now! LOL!
Ryan, Josh and Wookie all went out to play in the snow. Wookie was only out for a few mins and then I snuggled him and warmed him up in a towel...poor thing! He wanted to play but he's not made for weather like this! LOL! Here are a few pics.


Catching some snowflakes


They were trying to get each other with snowballs. :-)


Wookie being almost buried in the snow!


Josh, Wookie and Ryan


Ryan right after he said "I'm ready to come in now!" LOL!

What we do on cold, snowy days!

We snuggle with big brother on the couch! (Please excuse the mismatched stripes)


We help daddy build warm fires! (Doesn't Cole look SO tiny in this picture?!)


We smile BIG for mommy!


We sleep so sweetly!

Cole was just SO cute tonight!

Ryan was being a sweetie too. :-) Ms. Carolyn (their daycare provider) sent home our christmas cookies just in case we don't get to see her on Monday. In the package there were three gingerbread men. So Ryan decided he wanted to decorate them. I helped him with the icing, but I only did what he asked...he made two boys and one girl. Then he told me, "That's me, and my brother and my sister." And I said "Oh? Really?" And he said "Yeah, me and Cole and Aurora." So a hundred years ago when I was pregnant with Cole and we didn't know if he was a boy or a girl, we talked about how if he was a boy he'd be Cole, if he was a girl he would have been Aurora. I shouldn't be shocked that Ryan remembered, but I am! Anyway, it was funny. :-) And no, I'm not pregnant and yes, I'm sure. :-)


And now for our snow pics!

This is out our front door...

And this is our little backyard area.

Isn't it wonderful!? I LOVE this...seriously, I would be completely happy if it continued like this through January! I LOVE IT!!!! :-)

I LOVE SNOW!!!!

It's been snowing NONSTOP since about 9:30am! I'll post some pictures later. I also wanted to say that Ryan has now lost his SECOND tooth! It was his other bottom front one. Now we are just waiting for those two top SUPER loose ones to come out. :-)
So church got canceled for tomorrow because of the weather, so we are going to get to have a nice relaxing day! :-) Okay I'll post more later. :-)

Our Day...

This morning we woke up desperately late for church...I know...me, late for church?! You all are probably shocked! LOL! Anyway, we got there in time for classes. Ryan got to have the primary sing happy birthday to him and he got a special candy.:-) He was SO excited! Ryan was AMAZING all through primary! He did really great. Colebear got to hang out with daddy, and took a little nap in the foyer. :-) After church we had lunch and got all bundled up to get our Christmas Tree. Basically since the beginning of December, Ryan has been literally PRAYING for snow on his birthday. Well his prayers were answered and it started snowing! (I told Jenn I was going to start having him pray every night for a million dollars! :-)) We didn't get any of it to stick down here, but up in the hills where the tree farm was had a decent amount. Ryan was in heaven. :-) We got to have hot cocoa, see Santa and his reindeer and pick out and cut down our very own tree. Cole was in the front pack the whole time, but he stayed warm and I think liked seeing everything. :-) Josh and Ryan did a great job cutting down the tree. We were planning on decorating it tonight, however, by the time we got home it still had icicles on it so we are going to do it tomorrow night and give it some time to thaw! Now everyone is worn out and ready for bed! I think Ryan had a really great birthday weekend. :-) He keeps telling me he is going to turn seven tomorrow...I told him No way Jose!! :-) I really am a seriously lucky and blessed person.
