Snowstorm Jan 2010

Well the snow has come here are some pictures so you can say "wow did they get snow!"

the river from my back yard

the Purple Cliffs from my back yard

the deck

another view from the deck

can't tell to well but this is the end of my driveway - I was plowed in glad I didn't have to go to work

my mailbox that always gets burried -good thing we dug it out last night might have not found it today (hee hee)

the snow again this morning - shoveled the front pathway last night at 11:30pm but gave up doing the rest was to tired you can see the difference

All the snow on top of the truck will clear it tomorrow - just plain tuckered out today to do it

the view of my house from the street - should've seen it yesterday - was knee deep in some places (like at the end of my driveway) - check out the snow in the bed of my truck it is over flowing

my buddy George - he gets the job done! What would I do without him - probably still be shoveling!

BTW see the big mound of snow that's Brett's sledding hill he discovered later. He enjoyed sledding onto the street - only when no cars were coming which was not very often

the driveway - cleared at last with the help of George and Cody

there's my mailbox - now we can reach it - Brett is hoping his boyscout uniform arrives soon!

the view from my front porch

the trees in my front yard - my rose bushes almost completely covered (lower right corner)

the boys in the front yard

Brett sitting in the front yard on top of the snow - said his boomerang in under all the snow - he said he'll see it again in May (hopefully LOL)

Cody - I'm glad I'm done with working!!

While I was up in Denver I went to visit with Noah at Childrens Hospital. Wow he was amazing to watch. During his physical therapy we worked hard and his spirits was high. He can't wait to get out of there! He was talking about getting a wheelchair that could go in the snow. Even though his prognosis is not great his attitude is. He told the doctor that he had a 50% chance of walking. The doctor looked at him funny and Noah said "Either I walk or I don't that 50/50 right?" Great huh? He will be coming home by the end of this month and I can't wait to see him home. Jason is doing well as can be expected. Amada had the pins removed from her leg and she is doing good too. Going to physical therapy but it is great to see her walking. Pretty soon there will be no stopping her. I don't know much about Dante since he is living with Cassandra's parents. Please continue to keep them in your prayers.

A new year

Sorry all for not posting in quite some time. Time just seems to go by to fast for me. As a matter of fact we are already 18 days into a new year YIKES! Since it is a new year I have decided that I will TRY to keep my blog updated more often...TRY is the operative word LOL!

Just thought I would post some pictures from our Christmas Break that we spent with Bryan's family. It was a hard Christmas for me because I was missing the two very special people in my life but I made it through. Here are some pictures that i took from my new camera the kids got for me - A brand new spankin digital Canon XSi 12 mega pixels - now that a very sweet gift!

BTW most of these pictures are candid shots so bear with me-hope you enjoy
