Thanks to my brother Scott we can get out of our driveway. We have this neighbor that thinks he's a saint and plows the roads with his blad on front of his car. Well he could do a good job I guess but really he puts the snow in front of everyone's driveways so we get stuck! He also makes my dad mad after he plows the sidewalks with his 4-wheeler, then brother H pushes the snow back up on the sidewalk. What do ya do. I guess get a brother with a bob cat.
For 5 years Gabe has insisted that he hates the snow. For the first few years he wouldn't even walk in it, we would build a snowman and he would watch from the sidewalk, then get carried over for the picture! Last year he got a little better and this year, we thought it would be the same. Last week we went to the cabin to go sledding and he pointed to each of us and said "you, you and you can go outside, I'll stay inside." So that was that, we went and played while he and Zach stayed warm. Today we had the shock of a lifetime. Mike told Gabe he couldn't play the wii until he tried sledding. So went to a fun hill and low and behold. . . HE LOVED IT! He hiked up that hill so many times and went down, down, down. He flew when he went by himself and we stood at the top holding our breath waiting for a scream. But every time he hopped up happy and hiked up for more! Yahoo!

Jace of coures loves every minute in the snow.

Brother Layne has a hurt back

So does Superman Mike (the wife forgot the snowboots)






It was really fun for the whole family to ride down on top of dad!




This is the snowpile in front of our house last night, and Jace digging his way through it!


A few pics back at the cabin, this is baby paige pulling Jace up the hill

Congrats on the baby first. :)

Gabe is so cute. I can't believe he used to not like snow. Looks like a ton of fun.
