Sam and Berta's (some friend's of ours) Log home through the snow covered trees. We spent the night last weekend and got a foot of snow overnight!! What a winter wonderland! The skiing was superb. They only live 45 minutes to the south but we don't have nearly the snow they do!!! Amelia got to ride the mini snow machine with her friend Fiona. What a blast!

The top photo is how they start out on a ski......this is how I like it when we end up with them snoozing!!!! How sweet it is!!!! We're usually good for about an hour of exercise for me which is good for everybody....when momma's happy, the world is good!!

My "hired hand" working on the new porch steps. What a difference they make!!! We have lived with wooden blocks for the past 6 years. It makes us appreciate these even more though!!

A few photos of Halloween! Amelia was a beautiful butterfly, Reid a catterpillar and Rachel was a fairy. We had lots of fun. The carnival at the school was nice but Amelia was afraid of some of the scarry costumes. Trick or Treating was great for me!!!! Lots of candy. it was 32 degrees and snowing but the girls loved it. They were ready to go home after about an hour and a half. Our pumpkin won the contest at the school carnival!!!!
