IT SNOWS IN BEAVERTON!!!!!!!!!!!

The boys and I were so excited to see the snow when we woke up on Tuesday morning!!!! The kids were outside at 7:30 a.m. and played until 10:15 a.m. that was round one then they went back outside from 2:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. It sure doesn't snow much here, but when it does it sure is beautiful and you must make the most of it!!! 

What else can we do with all this snow? 

Look at all the snow!!!! 

If only I had longer arms!!! This is the best I could do since there was nobody around to take our photo. It was snowing the entire 2-1/2 hours were played outside at home and at the park. What a great day!!! 

So we decided to see what it would be like to slide down the slide in the snow. Let's just say the slide was SUPER FAST!!! It was good we had the snow as a bit of a cushion when we landed. 

Martin having a blast. 

Luke wanted me to bury his legs in the snow. 

I love this photo....what a handsome boy. 

Making snow angels in the snow. 

Do you remember doing this as a kid? Notice Martin has lost both of his front teeth...finally. 

Luke is so VERY proud of the ball he rolled all by himself....this kid is stong! If he stands behind the ball you can only see his head. 

These are Matin's snow creations. He built the snowman all by himself! He lifted all the pieces to the snowman and rolled the ball he is standing on. What a stong boy! 

Our boys being very silly. 

Martin finally lost one of his front teeth. He was hoping it would fall out by Christmas, but it took until December 31, 2006. As you can see he is VERY happy. 

THE BURN UPDATE

Here is how Darin's arm looked 2 weeks after the initial incident. We are still amazed at how quickly the burns healed. He only had a small scar in the crease of the elbow area. 

So Martin basically had his other front tooth in before the baby tooth fell out. I had never seen this before. 

This is the torso area. The skin changes color with heat and cold....it can be bright red, bright pink, purple or a combination of all the colors.
