The last few weeks

The last several weeks it has been snowing quite a bit here for us. We would get one storm through and then another and another. Needless to say a couple Saturdays ago we thought we should take the opportunity and go sledding. Luckily our good friends have sleds because we don't and they were nice enough to let us come along with their family. I took Kali down the hill once and we ended up crashing at the bottom. She didn't want to go again after that. She is not a snow bunny like Bristol. I think Bristol takes after Nate with the love of the snow and Kali is more like me. She loves the water and not having to wear shoes or socks (she takes them off constantly during the day, even in the car).

Kali sizing up the snow and thinking I can't move in all of these clothes.

Bristol and Nate heading back up the hill.
Getting ready for another go down the hill.
Bristol coming down the hill with her friend Samantha. Samantha is in front and Bristol is behind her.
I like to think Kali is watching Bristol riding down the hill thinking, "why is this fun?".


Our backyard
My potted plants. I love how you can see the amount of snow on them. However, it was still snowing so it actually got higher.

Just for kicks
So what do you do when you are stuck inside all day because of all the snow? You get naked and ride your rocking horse. I thought Nate's family would especially appreciate this photo with the whole "barenaked cowgirl".

I am with Kali on this one. I don't much like the snow either. I just like to look at it and it eat.

However, is does look like fun. Glad you were able to get out a little bit.

that is so funny! I am SO you&kali... Brady is SO Bristol&Nate.

It was funny when we went home on Christmas we helped in a Primary class... and the teacher said, "Can you guess where Brother and Sister Baker are from? It snows there!" Then all the kids went "AWESOME!!!" then i began.. "well, not really... its really cold, and it gets icy and you can slip and fall, and its pretty dangerous to drive a car... and you have to clear your windshield on your car... and when its slushy your pants get wet..." and brady interrupted me, and gave me a dirty look "...and you can go sledding, and skiiing, and make snowmen, and have snowball fights!! Fun huh!?" hahaha I didn't realize I was being so negative til he did that! hahaha
