MORE Snow....

Day 2... I took this picture this morning. I'm not exactly sure on the amount as of then, just know that it was alot.


This is right out my back door. I'm starting to think that I'm going to need some sort of measuring device. A stick, or kid, or something. It's still snowing. The wind is really blowing this morning. We can't even the hill that's about 700 yards from us.

It's been a very wet and heavy snow. The ground is still pretty warm so at this point it will be a muddy mess soon.

People keep telling me that this is a preview of what is to come this winter. We haven't had a real winter in so long, I think that I would rather do without. I'm not looking forward to winter.

Winter already?!?

This was the view out my back door this morning. The weather guys are saying to expect 9 or more inches by Monday, so my plan is to take a few pictures throughout the weekend to show the progress. This photo shows day #1. Stay tuned....

A big night for Uncle Pig

It's been a long time coming, but Uncle finally had his "surgery". Uncle has been Riley Jo's faithful sidekick for years now and has lost all of his stuffing, so the other night he received "botox".

Always watchful, Riley Jo never left his side.

After awhile Riley figured that she might even be some help.

All went well. Time to stitch him up. We heard a big sigh of relief from Riley Jo.

The final result... One happy little girl and one fat pig.

Date Night

Last night Matt & I went on a date. A real already made plans, got a sitter, put your good clothes on, date. It was so much fun. We went to dinner and a concert at the Horse Palace. (a big indoor arena.) The dinner was good and the entertainment was spectacular. If you've never heard Wylie & the Wild West, he sings old cowboy music, or western music, and he yoduls. He put on a heck of a show last night, he's a great performer. They had a dance floor set up so we even got some boogie time in. It was just an awesome evening.
See, I even got to "get pretty" as Riley Jo would say. Matthew cleans up pretty nice too. I've decided that we need to do this more often.

Zoo Trip

Wednesday we all loaded up and went for an adventure to the Billings Zoo. There were 4 moms and 5 lovely children. We all had a great time.

Riley Jo was the big kid on the trip and she was a great help with the little ones.

Here's Cade and Riley deceiding who's turn it was to push the stroller and Jessi trying to keep Keenan(the passenger in the stroller) from crashing into the wall.

Little Avery loved this bouncy thing. She did so well the whole time. She sat inthe stroller just talking and making noises.

This critter was doing a funky dance. We got all of the kids to imitate it.It was really cute!!

ADVENTURES?!?

Who said you can't have any fun outside when it's raining?!? These 3 trouble makers prove that to be a lie.
