way back a couple
years ago. 1997

Camping 2003 rafting

Camping 2000

Kaitlyn made Cinder a moss hat while camping 2004

2006

June 2007 look how chubby she was then.

Last Sunday when Cinder wasn't feeling very good. But today she is feeling much better. We are taking it one day at a time. Spoiling her rotten.

Santa Cookies

A couple of Kaitlyns cookies

Caiden's cookies

Caiden came and spent the night so he could make some cookies for santa. By the time we were done there was flour and sprinkles everywhere. Of course Caiden had nothing but his undies on because he didn't want his clothes to get stuff on them. He helped Kaitlyn add sprinkles to hers too (she didn't think that was a good idea) Santa ate the cookies he took home and left out. He was thrilled to have his own cookies for Santa. Santa came last night for him cause he has to go to his dad's tonight.

PLEASE STOP SNOWING!!

Caiden's little Tykes care is starting to be buried. Jasmine running in the snow and snorting and playing with Kaitlyn. She was getting so excited. Poor Spunky has no legs!!

A white Christmas is nice, but this is a bit much. It seems strange that we should be on our way to Christmas with relatives and instead we are out watching the snow fall at home. We woke up to another 10 inches and it's still snowing. We will be going to Dee and Omars for Christmas dinner. Thank you for the invite!

OK enough is enough

Great Grandma goat and one of the babies checking the weather

Well Kaitlyn and I are sitting here singing loudly (and Out of tune I might add) to Reba MacEntires Christmas CD and wishing the snow would go away or at least warm up a little. It's not fun anymore. Looks like we won't be going to Shelton for Christmas afterall. It will be the first time in 15 years.

Here are a couple pictures of the goats as they decided they had been in the barn long enough and went out to find that the trees had blown branches into their pen. (SCORE!!)

I am getting real tired of hauling water from the house to the barn and cleaning up snow everytime the dogs come in from going outside.

BUNDLE UP EVERYONE!!

Get out the winter coats!!

Jasmine is glad to have hers on.
It's cold but not snowing. Just trying to get the water thawed out in the barn. I have the heat lamp going on it. Just hoping we can fill the buckets without hauling from the house to the barn.

Still getting deeper

Cinder and the reindeer.

This was at 3PM today and still snowing. Amanda had a heck of a time driving home. Then got stuck in our driveway but finally made it home.

Baby kitty seeing snow for the 1st time. He wasn't impressed.

School was let out early today and they just called and said no school tomorrow.

Suzy said her family was praying for more snow. STOP IT!!!!!!

Caiden and Kaitlyn got out in the snow to play for a bit before going home.

It's getting deeper by the minute.

The Car at 11:30 AM

The bird bath at 11:30

When we walked to school this morning there was very little snow but an hour and half later it is piling up. Caiden's snow Angel on the way to School. Kaley writing her name in the snow around 10 AM
