The Blizzard

So this is a little bit of late news, but we had a huge blizzard last week. It was actually kind of fun because we have had a really warm winter with hardly any snow, and then it snowed about 7 inches I would guess. So, it was kind of like the best of both worlds, because we got the 60-70 degree weather for awhile, then we got some moisture with the big snowstorm. The weather people said that since it was so big, this winter will average out like all the other winters, except that instead of having little snow storms all winter, we had warm weather, than one big snowstorm, which I much prefer. Anyway, here are the blizzard pictures. Then the kids playing in the snow. Then the kids with the squirt guns we got them (I know, weird seasonal timing, but they loved shooting the snow.....and each other). Then, my cousin Tiffany had her fourth baby yesterday, and although most of you don't know her, here is her cute baby boy; Maddux:

So when it started snowing, it looked like this:

Then, the wind started blowing, and it looked like this:

Then it got SERIOUSLY windy, and it looked like someone just hung a white sheet up on the balcony. You really could barely make out the apartment buildings just across the street. It was CRAZY!

This weather did NOT stop Matt from BBQing. He braved it out there (notice the pure white background of windy snow). The kids begged and begged to go outside and I kept telling them no, it was too cold and they would hate it out there, and they just kept begging, so I put their coats and shoes on and let them out. I ran to get the camera to take a picture of the three crazy people, but like I said, the kids did not like it out there, and in those few seconds of getting the camera, they were crying to come in. So that is why they look so sad:

This is what it looked like the next morning:

Daddy and Mikelle heading down to play in the snow:

Jonah:

The snow was too hard and crunchy and deep and the kids couldn't walk in it; this is how far they made it off the sidewalk:

Mikelle and Jonah LOVE eating snow:

The squirt guns:

I love how you can see Jonah getting sprayed with the water from Mikelle's gun:

And, baby Maddux; acutally made me a little anxious to have my baby, (I know that sounds like I am not excited, I am, but I am too busy to be counting down like a first time mom)

So Cute!!!
