COLD and Snow

February is an extra cold and snowy month but this year it has been exceptionally cold at times. The coldest I have seen it so far is -40 F. This is when cars don't want to start and it hurts your lungs to take a breath, not to mention a very high heating bill :( We are so ready for spring!! This is what REALLY cold looks like...

So to our surprise the next weekend we had awesome weather. Yes, there was snow and ice on the ground but it was still 43 degrees outside!! That is a whole 83 degree change from the previous week. We went to Clark, Colorado to play in the snow and check out the tunnels in the driveways of the homes up there. Clark is only about 40 miles from our house but it is up high in the mountains.
Snow covered mountain cliffs and river...
Kirk and Dylan throwing snowballs at me with the window between us and the boys playing in the monster piles of snow. Good thing they didn't sink all the way to the bottom!
Me and my honey! And, Dylan standing at the top of the mounds of snow...
Tunnels dug at one of the homes in Clark, just so they could park and walk to their house. How would you like to shovel that much snow? :) Rylee smiling after leaving. He had so much fun!...
BEAUTIFUL! Clark, Colorado in the wintertime, 2011.

Rylee's 3!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLEE!!! My little guy is 3 now. The plan was to try and take Rylee to the zoo for his day but that didn't work out for this weekend anyway. So his birthday happened to fall on a day that was being celebrated by the whole town for Hayden Daze and we went to that instead. They jumped in the inflatables and Dylan got his face painted. Rylee just did not have the patience to stand in line long enough to get his done. What can you expect? He's only 3 :) They played on the slip and slides and Dylan got to do some rock climbing We had planned to have a little party for Rylee with some friends. But since they couldn't make it we decided to just make it fun with just our family. First Balloons!! And boy, did they have fun :) Rolling around in them, trying to pop them by squishing them in a big hug and we cant leave out the big bellies and boobs! Then he opened his presents, played with them and we ate cake! After all that fun we finished the night off with a funny...

It's Our 11th Anniversary!!

Oh my, does time fly. It's pretty weird to think that we have been married for 11 years. I don't think we feel old enough for that much time to have gone by, but we will continue to grow old and wrinkly together forever! Happy Anniversary to US!! Kirk and Camilla on our wedding day.... No we didn't have a big fancy wedding but we were there together and with our family and friends and enjoyed ourselves, that's all that matters! A couple more pic's of us together throughout the years.... 2002 Somewhere between 2003-2004 2007 2008

Indoor Playground

Who needs to play outside when the playgound is right here in the house! We have a couple mattresses that used to be for Dylan's bunkbed that have apparently turned into a slide and trampoline. I'm thinking this looks like alot of fun and I have been tempted to try it out for myself, but I'm pretty sure I would look alot less graceful then they do :) Don't mind the multicolored walls.....we ran out of paint in the middle of the job.
