SNOWSTORM OF THE CENTURY!!

We have had the HUGEST snowstorm the past couple of days!  HOLY SMOKES!  It has been SO much fun!  I love extreme weather like that.  We have probably had about a total of 2 feet or so!  Cole and I were talking, and we think that it has been the MOST snow that has come all at once since we moved here over 4 years ago!  School was cancelled on Friday, and we had a blast just chillin and doin fun stuff!  Cole and I were even able to go on a date which is ALWAYS a welcome/blessed event!  I LOVE that guy!  Any little bit of time that we can spend together I love love love!  He has been SUPER busy with a work project for the past couple of weeks and is always busy with Bishop stuff, so it is nice when we can just hang out together and decompress and talk the night away!
     ANYWAYS....the snowstorm.  It was so fun for the kids to play in the snow!  Lincoln is a HUGE snow bunny.  The other 2, not so much.  But we made the most of our time in the snow and even took the chitlins sledding!  Payton and Morgan always dig it majorly when we sled plus I brought some Hot Chocolate in a thermos, and they thought they had died and gone to heaven!  Love when I get "Mom of the Year" award for something so small!  Payton and Lincoln went crazy sledding!  Morgs did too, but she is pretty much happy and content to hang out on my lap/hip/general vicinity, so after 3 or 4 sleds, she was done and just wanted to sip her cup of hot cocoa. :)  Silly girl! 
    Needless to say, the snow was fun.  Cole's back is sore from all the shoveling, and my arm is sore (strained a muscle!) from trying to throw snowballs at him while he slaved away!  That's what I get I guess.  So I guess that darn groundhog was right!  We'll see how long it takes for this snow to melt this time.  It's not usually that long here in blessed Denver, but this much might take a few more days!
The MASTER shoveler!  This was before we even got all of our snow!  He even bent/broke our only shovel in the process!  Don't worry...he McGyvered it back to working order.  What a stud!

Sorry this pic is sideways...too lazy to turn it the other way!  This is the silly dog who, when Cole and I arrived home from our date on Friday was sitting on TOP of the garbage can!  Yes, the garbage can you see behind him is OUTSIDE of the fence!  Silly dog.  At least he didn't run away!








DANG IT!  These were the CUTEST pictures, but it ever one (I took about 7!) someone was closing their eyes!  NUTS!

The cutest little pinky you've ever seen!
