This is a snow cave on the top of the car. The little hole is seeing through to the other side.
Wilson Removed a chunk off his car with bare hands. BURRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrr!
This is a picture of our friends and neighbors trying to see what thier car looks like underneath all that snow.

This is Jeramie's car with Ice holding up about 4" of snow.
Now this is a snow bank. Just so you know I took that snow ball right after taking this picture.
I so prey that this tree doesn't fall. If it does we could have major problems. I hate this tree so it wouldn't be so bad.... but, it would be a lot worse if it fell. Notice Jeramies car covered in snow is in timber position.
Check out my house, Check out that tree!
I am standing in front of my house looking down the street.
This is a picture of the field by our house. I hope that with all of this snow covering the fields it has killed the mice and rats so they wont find shelter at my house.
Just one of our trees in the back yard.

I was nervous that the Ice wouldn't break over Tanner's head
These are chunks of Ice. I mean CHUNKS





Tanner and Renee were throwing the Ice and it didn't even break the top layer it broke and shattered the chunks first.
Check out this AWESOME SNOW! It is C R A Z Y!
Just a cute picture of Jeramie. He was holding the umbrella for Renee to put her coat on. We were helping Grandpa cut down a tree.
Our backyard covered in snow from the back door all the way out. We have 18" of snow with about an 1" of ice on top. The kids went out to break the ice.
We met up with the Dotson's to celebrate Harrison's birthday. This was a treat since we had been snowed in for 6 days. Cabin fever was setting in and we were needing a B R E A K!
It is funny these two are more like brothers than cousins. They just love each other so much
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARRISON! we love you, You are now a double DIGIT!
Renee,Amanda and Sparkles keeping cozy watching yet another MOVIE
Recovery Renee all we've done is watch movies and be cozy. Trying to keep warm and occupied.
All my little Princess wanted was to sleep in her own bed. It was so hard to be in the ER for 8 hrs. No fun.

Tanner finally got a white season. He was jumping up and down this morning as he watched the snow falling. I love this time of year. Oh The kids don't have school tomorrow. Yeah!!!!!
Renee rolling around in the snow. She couldn't wait. The kids had so much fun.
Tinker Bell realized that she should have worn her jacket. She is so cold. Priceless face

This is the field that is by our house looking out to the hwy. It really was a nice day looking out at the snow.
Snow has an effect on getting the kids out to play.
Look at our sweet humble home. Covered in Snow. Check out the big tall Eucalyptus Tree to the left of the house. It is so tall and ugly. I can't wait to get it cut down. I'm really afraid that it might tumble over and hit our house.
Mary Short a friends daughter and neighbor joined in on the fun building a snow man.
Renee couldn't waite to make a snow angel. She has been talking about this for a few weeks.

Our First Snowman for the Season. It was hard to make as the snow was nice and fluffy. Good team work.

Our Family loves this time of year when we get to pick out our TREE! One of the benefits of living in the Northwest is that you can cut down your own Noble Fir and an 8 ft. tree only costs $30-. We got a very beautiful 71/2 ft. tree. It was the first one that Daddy saw. Oh Tanner's pick was a 9-12 tree and was Gynormous. That is Tanner for you.
It was a little bright. Sorry kids and George. This is our Tree!
Incase you are wondering why Curious George is in the picture. He is a class roaming project. Each of the kids in tanner's class get to take him home for the evening or weekend. It seems as though Tanner always gets him over the longggggggggggg weekends. They can read stories to George and all other fun stuff. But the project it to write in his journal and draw a picture of something he did with the student. Geogre went to cut down a tree. YIPEE!

Just a little instruction on how to saw down a tree and they will soon be doing it all on their own.


Tanner was eager to help with carrying the Tree this year. So daddy let him give it a try. Tanner says last night on the max train I'm a big boy now mom I can do that. So Since Tanner is such a big boy he did carry the tree up the hill and all the way to the car with Daddy. All the pictures with show you below.
What a moment. He was so very proud of him self. Although He kept saying Are we there yet.
Almost just a few steps and you can rest. Then a few more to the car. Great job buddy.
I couldn't believe my eyes. When I came around from the back of the car there was Tanner and Renee on top of the car. They figured that they wanted in all the action. Helping daddy is ever so much fun. Thank you kids the job is all yours. It is great that they love to do these things. I was able to just sit back and enjoy.
Check her out. All Renee kept saying was "what next Daddy"? Renee put the bungy cord in all by her self. Way to go little Princess!
I was so proud that of my kids and all of their help.
Renee and Cozy
We went to the Festival of Trees and Renee Doctored up her "Cozy" Bear.
