Junior Prom





Tonight was Junior Prom. Thomas had a blast and looked so handsome in his tux! Yes the hair is getting pretty bad again but he has big plans for it next week so he wouldn't cut it. They went to a place called Get Air for their day activity and jumped around on trampolines for a while. Then they dropped their dates off to get in their fancy clothes and later they went to The Mandarin for dinner and then to the dance at the U ballroom. After the dance they came back to our house for brownie sundays. It took a little convincing to get him to go to Prom but now he is glad he went.

Snow Day!!!

 Snow cave!!!



 Mitch wouldn't come outside for a picture in the snow



 Once there was a mailbox
 We had to dig a path in the grass so Thomas could get to his car in the other driveway
Thursday we got hit with one of the biggest snow storms I have seen in years! It started Thursday afternoon and didn't stop until Saturday late morning. Friday morning we got a phone call saying all schools were closed in our district. Needless to say the boys were very excited, I think Jacob was more excited than Christmas. I was excited too because it meant I didn't have to drive in the snow. The college students in the house didn't go either but their schools didn't actually close until later in the day. I was glad they didn't go because then I didn't have to worry about them. So here are some pictures of all the snow. Jacob has had a blast playing in it and actually built a snow cave in the front yard. I haven't seen this much snow in a very long time. I am scared it is going to be one of those winters that lasts until June. I finally understand today why all of our parents live in warm places!
