SNOW!!!!!

We've got SNOW!!!  Now, it's not like the huge storms we are used to growing up in Salt Lake and it's not like "The Storm Of The Century" that we had in Spokane but we've been told this is the most snow seen in the Oly area since the 1940's  
I think it's our fault now that I think of it, we moved to St. George and then had the "100 Year Flood"!  Spokane, like I said, the most snow they had had in 106 years.  Vancouver wasn't so bad, ABQ last year had the worst cold weather they had experienced in a very long time, shutting off natural gas to thousands of homes.  AND NOW  HUGE snow in Olympia!  

Because of this I got up at 5:30 a.m. and headed out the door to Wal-Mart.  If we were going to get out there and play Keegan was in need of new snow boots and winter gloves.  He had been making due with his rain boots but this called for more.  So by 5:45 I was the crazy Utahan shopping for snow gear, there was 1 other customer in the store.  I had to get out there on the roads before everyone else tried to do the same. 


We got up early this morning and hurried and ate and then got out there so we could be the first ones to make tracks in the new snow.  

Scarlett is loving all the snow, she wasn't quite sure how to use the bathroom though.  

Loves to run in the snow, and look goofy doing it. 

Josh and the dogs jogged all the way across the church yard and then ran back.  

No explanation really, cute boy, cute dog

More of that cute boy of mine

Little birdie prints on our porch when we got back.

That looks so fun. We still haven't really had a good snow storm. Hope you've been feeling well by the way. Teri is finally going to get that granddaughter she's been dying for :)

We have having a blast for sure. We kept hearing that we were moving somewhere that Keegan would never see snow. And yes, Tari (and my mom) is getting that granddaughter. I don't think she'll be spoiled at all. ;)

They keep saying all that is heading here, but I'm not sure I believe it yet. Still 45 degrees and the south wind is still blowing. Looks like Keegan and the dogs all love it!
