Blizzard 2011


Last Tuesday we received the greatest snow storm we have had in awhile. The weather man told us this storm was coming, and we were prepared for it. I don't know what our final amount of snow turned out to be, but I know that it was a lot. We had snow drifts up to James Sr. thighs. One snow drift along the garage was about 5 foot high. Along with the snow was the bitter cold. The children didn't understand why I wouldn't let them go out very long when I did let them go out. I have enjoyed the snow. Haylea and Isaiah finally went back to school today after having a week off, yesterday was a planned day off already. James Jr. learned his Articles of Faith for his Faith In God. Carl, Haylea, and Isaiah learned the first three. We played, watched movies, made some cookies, did Haylea and Adalyns hair, and grew tired of being inside. We finally ventured out when I started going crazy. I have enjoyed the time that we spent together as a family. The little ones have enjoyed playing in the snow. And we are expected to get more tonight and tomorrow. I love the winter.

Isaiah turns 6

Isaiah turned 6. I can't believe that the time has flown by. He wanted a Pokemon cake for his birthday. I told him that he had to pick an easy one that I could do on my own. It sure was an easy one. For dinner he asked for salmon. Oh am I glad that he likes salmon. I think he ate 3 pieces. But he is worth it.

Isaiah is an amazing little man. He wants to do everything that his brothers do. He gets sad when they go somewhere without him. He is in kindergarten this year and is doing very well. I think that he will be one smart cookie. He likes to build with Legos, and play with his Nerf gun. When Isaiah is tired he is the only one of my children that will go lay down. He also is up early in the morning. He will quietly play a computer game until it is time to get everyone else up. Isaiah loves to give hugs. Everyone loves his big brown eyes, and being around him. I am so glad that he is part of our family.
