Snow Day!

Burrrrrrr...it is C-O-L-D outside today!!! It was -15 for most of the morning and isn't supposed to get above zero all day. Ish! I like winter, but I HATE cold! Pretty much haven't stepped outside all day today. The coldest I got was going out to the heated garage to get chicken breasts out of the freezer for dinner (or supper...which do you call it? I call it both.) Since it was a cold day here I thought I would share some fun winter pictures from over the last couple of weeks.

I like this picture of Audrey, even though it is way over-exposed. I think it looks sort of angelic...

Check out Grant's rosy cheeks in this one...couldn't you just pinch them?

Tootie has such a cute little button-nose. Not sure where she got that!
Grant was giving her a little "brotherly advice" on how to ride in the sled...you know, since he is such an old pro!

I know she was having fun, but I could not get her to crack a smile which is VERY unusual for her. I think she was just trying to soak everything in.

Oop...almost a smile there!
But I am thinking Roxy pretty much wiped it off by doing this!
I don't think I have formally introduced Roxy yet...here she is. She is my other "baby." She is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet.

Whoa, Grant...slow down a little. I am just a baby, ya know!
Hey, lets go up the driveway and slide back down!
Dad...wait for me! (Poor abandoned Tootie.)
So the "boys" decided to take the new 2-seater snow tubing sled down the driveway for a spin. Here is how it went down...
Ready. Set. GO!!!

Whoaaaaaaaaaaa....
Weeeeeeeeeee..........

That was Fuuu-un!

Here is a shot of the triple threat! Again, Audrey didn't smile, but she did want to go again and again!

This is Grant's botched attempt at a snow angel...too deep to move his arms or legs!

Then, Grant thought it was funny to throw Roxy's bone into the deep snow so she would have to dig it out.

Little Shyster!

Okay, this is from a different day. Again, the boys were out doing a little snow clean-up and Sissy bon Stink-Butt (that is another of her very flattering nicknames!) and I were all toasty warm inside.
Grant asked Duke to throw him into the snow pile again. With my new camera, you can shoot pretty fast. Check out this montage...Up, up and away!





He was stuck pretty good, so Dad had to go rescue him.

I also love these three pictures. The lighting was good, the colors are vivid and I love how Duke on the snow blower in the background is kind of blurry. Looks like I tried to do that!

Isn't he so cute he is almost pretty? (Some day he is gonna kill me for that!)
And since Audrey has such a flattering nickname... I suppose you should know that we also call Grant Stink Bomb Stink-Butt.

Okay, enough for now...there is work to be done!
I really hope all of you who are checking in on us are enjoying the posts and the pictures. If you ever want to leave a comment, I love to read them. Oh, and you can also sign up to be one of my "followers" if you would like. I only have two so far. Don't you feel bad for me yet? Oh, and one more thing...if you don't like the music or if you are checking at work (naughty, naughty!) you can scroll down to where the music box is at the bottom of the page and mute the music. Just a little tidbit of info in case you wanted it.
Blessings to all!
