Snow Day!

With Jed in Puerto Rico much of the time I find myself getting pretty lonely on the weekends. So on Saturday my sister, mom and I decided to drive up the mountains to let the kids play in the snow. We have been having major rain storms here which have caused a lot of flooding and many days inside the house. We knew this meant there would be "snow in them thar hills." We drove up to Yosemite thinking that would be our best bet. As we drove it was still rainy the whole way which me a little nervous about finding the snow. We started to see little patches of left over snow and then we saw a sign that said "Chains required 1 mile ahead." This got me excited...snow ahead. Finally we came around a corner and saw a pullout where people were putting their chains on. We pulled over and let the kids get out and play. The whole drive up Hyrum kept saying he wanted to build a snowman. Ashlee just wanted to get in a snowball fight. We had a terrific time and the kids loved the snow. It was so perfect they played until they were soaked thru then we changed their clothes and got them warm and drove back down. It was a fun time and the kids loved it. We made an incredible snowman, people were even stopping to see it. Cole ate a little bit of clean snow and Ashlee got her snowball fight!

Hello are you out there?

I have been sitting here purusing a few different blogs for the last 20 minutes. While diong so I noticed that it seems people have really slowed down on the whole blog thing. It seems like no one really blogs anymore. Has Facebook replaced the blog??? It seems like we are either all getting too busy or have just lost interest. Also it seems like no one is even reading them anymore. My lovely sister-in-law once said that it seemed people were reading her blog when I told her I did she quickly said "Then you MUST leave a comment so I know!" So I am going to do an experiment...if you are reading this PLEASE leave a comment!! Even just a simple "Still here." so I know if people are still out there in blog world. I am now going back to the blogs I just read and comment on theirs too so they know I am still here!

Hope to hear from you soon!!
