Yeah so were snowed in


So we woke up this AM , noticed we had more snow...but didn't think it was more then a few inches. We bundled all up and hopped in the car...well we made it about 40 yards and got stuck. 50 minutes, a few swear words, a shovel and large piece of wood we finally made it back to the house. None the less were home for the day. We figure we have at least 15 inches and some drifts that are about 3 feet. I don't know why we thought we could make it to work today!

OMG it snowed....again

So do you ever notice that people in the Northwest can deal with there fair share of rain, but when it comes to any sort of frozen precipitation everybody flips out. Even our "Emmy winning" know it all local news personalities turn to 12 year olds when they talk about the possibility of snow. Tonight they devoted a whole extra hour to there newscast to bring us "winter storm watch 08." I mean do we really need an hour of reporters across the west side of the state claiming that where they are it the worst snow/ ice they have ever seen? Or the awkward interview with the passersby that's skiing to the market to get a gallon of milk, because God forbid they go 12 hours with out there milk.
Anyways here's some new pics of our snow, I have no idea how much we have, because of all the drifts. The above picture is from our back patio. Cate loved being pulled in the saucer! Hope everyone is staying warm!

Cabin Fever

So it's been below freezing now for ummm way too long! I shutter to think what our gas bill would be, if we weren't on the budget plan! This is one of those weeks you look back on and think what the heck did I do all week? Upon pondering this I realized that I organized all our pictures on our computer, for all of you who don't have them organized in folders by month that they were taken I highly recommend it! Here's a few I came across in the process.

Our wedding

Dad's post...

Hi everyone! We apologize for the lack of posting lately! With a combination of little league tournaments in between saving the Earth one bus or bike ride at a time, there seems to be so little time left over. Dad is making the post today because I am sure that with the combination of dad's day fallowed by dad's b-day the girls are probably busy getting all of dad's great surprises ready!!! Hopefully we will be back to posting more regularly but I can't make to many promises with the weather "HOPEFULLY" getting nicer soon! Cate is taking groups of steps at a time but tends to get her upper body going a little faster then her lower half. This usually resembles something you might see after happy hour at Applebees. I must also apologize that my post isn't as cleaver and detailed as mom's usually are but I figure if I get some new pics up no-one will really notice! ;)

In honor of Dad's day...the things I love about being dad!
  • Hugs ~ something I never put a lot of thought and time into until now...so simple, sweet and melt me in her arms every time!!!
  • Sleep ~ a better appreciation...
  • New adventures ~ never did I imagine I would put so much time and effort into evaluating a car seat like it was going to be the next NFL draft pick...
  • Humbly Proud ~ something so small that makes you "know" she is a baby genius...I mean how many other 11 month olds can strategically un-program the remote control that you no longer have the instruction manual for in approximately 2 seconds???
  • Hugs ~ she loves me...she really loves me
  • Wind chimes, bells, and whistles ~ all things I now have a much greater appreciation for due to the great joy it brings my daughter!
  • Backyardigans ~ little did I realize how entertaining a couple of borderline inappropriately named animals pretending to have adventures in their back yard could be...
  • Butt paste ~ why didn't I come up with this stuff???
  • Hugs ~ take em anytime...
  • Time ~ once again a better appreciation ~ it goes to fast already and why did I EVER think I didn't have enough before???
  • Bed face ~ nothing better then getting her up from a nap to realize that she looks like something from a sci-fi movie...but just makes her that much more adorable...
  • Prom ~ I must apologize to the young boy out there in advance for how I may act when you knock on my door one day...
  • Hugs ~ they never get old...
  • Winglets ~ some day I am sure she will have a great full head of hair but until then I lover her wispy little winglets just the way they are...
  • Giggles ~ the hand over the mouth laugh is unbearably cute...
  • Dinner time ~ you always make it an adventure in it's own...
  • Nordstroms ~ with your aunties I think I am wasting my prayers...it's only a matter of time
  • Early morning walks ~ doesn't everyone know... 6:30 is the new 8:30
  • Dad's day ~ my birthday weekend turns into dad's weekend of joy!!!
  • Did I mention HUGS HUGS HUGS!!!!

I could go on forever but it is getting late and I need my rest for the big weekend!!! :)
