catching up

I have really been slacking and need to get caught up.

This is how dedicated to grilling Doug is. When we got back from TX and it was -20C (-4F) he still wanted to grill, so he shoveled the deck to get over to the grill and then had to dust it off before he could uncover it. :)


These pics are from this weekend. We've had a lot of chinooks recently and a lot of the snow had melted. Notice how much grass you can see in our front yard. And the absence of jackets on any of us.


It was so warm (about 45F) and sunny that we went for a walk. Notice the strip of street down the middle with no snow! (It took months for it to get down to bare road from all the early snow we had.)




It was really nice weather and we all enjoyed some outside time. It's a good thing too because the chinook is gone and we're not supposed to get above freezing all week. We got snow yesterday (2-3 inches) and are supposed to get more tonight and tomorrow. So much for no snow on the road...

These next two pics I took for the fashion statement my son was making. Underwear, no pants, black socks and (knock-off) crocs. Too funny.




Last month, Doug picked up a new computer case so we could make one for the kids. We had upgraded our own computer last year and had all the old components, so now they have their own computer where we are loading all their games (so they don't mess up ours).

That is so sweet that she's helping him with the mouse! She seems so patient with him! Noah is very mouse challenged still--it's so hard!! I love how you guys have a computer for just them--that's awesome!
I can't believe how long you said your road was covered with snow! You're like us ---45 degrees is warm now--when we were in Cali, it was "freezing!!" LOL!!!
