Brrrrrr.....

WOW! Is it cold out. This morning it is a whopping -24 degrees and with wind chill it is -51 outside. You know it's cold when your walking into work and one, your nose freezes shut and two, you get an instant ice cream headache just from breathing in the air. On days like this I really appreciate the hat and gloves mom got me for Christmas.

This Weekend

Jess- Do not read the previous post :)

Chris, Jess, and Claire are supposed to come up and see us this weekend. Hopefully they still want to come to the icebox. We love having visitors. If they are having doubts maybe I can bribe Chris with my homemade biscuits and gravy and bribe Jess with a little shopping. If it warms up a little in the next couple days maybe Claire can bring her snowsuit and the girls can play in the snow. We always have a good time when they come visit. They girls play so well together while me and Jess get "caught up" and the guys always get their fill of their "guy gossip" you know cars, tools, etc.

Hopefully we will see them Friday afternoon!

The Snow Doubled!

Check out the picture I posted a couple of days ago of the snow. When we woke up this morning it had doubled. I took the same picture to compare.

My usual 20 minute drive to work took 45 minutes this morning. What sucks is we can't even play in it since the actual temperature below zero. Way too cold!

You can kind of tell in the background of this picture but all this snow made our hot tub cover collapse. Looks like we are going to have to invest in a new one this spring.

Got Milk?

She says she needed a "quick swig" Luckily the jug was almost empty :)

Holy Snow!

About 6 last night it started snowing.... again. But when it started we could see grass. All the snow was melted from before except for all the big piles that the snow plow piles up at the end of the roads and parking lots. This is what we woke up to this morning...

They were calling for 1-4 inches but we got 8. This is the biggest snow fall so far!

Nickname's

For some reason I always use nickname's for peoples names. Like I call Jaiden- Jage, Jagers ? I call my niece Reagan- Reaggie etc. I know they are made up names but again for some reason I do this. Well the cat's name is Bat. A few of the names I call him are Batty Bat, Kit Kat, and the one that just got me in trouble is batsters. Well Jaiden also likes to call the cat the names that I call him and the other night she was going through the house trying to catch the cat and saying "Come here little batsterd". Now everyone reading this say that out loud. Yep sounded just like the word. I know she was not meaning to say it so I said lets not call him batsters anymore. She asked why and I told her that I didn't think he liked being called that. She went with it. Now I just wonder how many stories she has told about the cat or how many people (at her pre-school) have asked what the cat's name is and she says "batsterd: :)

Busy! Busy!

I know it has been a while since I have posted but with the traveling and the holidays I haven't had time to even sit in front of the computer or get any of the pictures off the camera. Hoping everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope to post some Christmas pictures this week and catch up on everyone's blog.
