Happy Birthday and Welcome to the Family

Hello Smokey!!

Another Snow Day!

We find ourselves with yet another snow day!! The kids of course were super excited especially because this time we had at least 8 inches of snow! So the kids and I bundled up again and hit the snow! This was the first time we really went sledding. There is a perfect hill for the kids, which means it is not to steep for them to climb back up with out complaining! First we had to make a stop to play on our playground.

This is the worst part! dragging it back up!
