Let it Snow, let it snow

Well, not that today was any different.... it snowed some.... there's about a foot on the ground. It's beautiful, but cold. We went out to the office and pulled the girls in the sled. Let me restate that, WE went out there but KENT did the pulling. It was 15 degrees and I did it one time with Kensley and my lungs just about froze from the inside out. It was ridiculous. The rest of the time I hung out in the garage and took pictures :)

Kensley had a blast! She kept saying "how 'bout more?", "go THAT way!" (away from the house), "I have fun!" She was too cute.










Kallie enjoyed it too! We had her bundled up tight. She couldn't really move. :)





See that grin?



Our two snow bunnies



McCoy LOVES it as well. He didn't miss a beat. He ran with Kent the entire time, plus some. Here he is in action.




And Kent, Kallie & I walked out to the lake. Let me say, it dropped about 20 degrees! It was INSANE! Kent didn't stay out there with Kallie, no worries :) I stayed out long enough to take a few pictures. The lake had frozen towards the shore.


I promise, Kent took her back RIGHT after I clicked this picture!







And when we got home, everyone was pooped. Especially Kensley.

Playing in the snow

We'd been here a couple days and Kensley kept wanting to play in the snow! So we went outside and attempted a snowman...... and this is what we got:



Come to find out- this is NOT the kind of snow you can make a big snowman with. It's about the consistency of powder, seriously. SOOOOO we just settled for a mound :)


She loved throwing it up in the air.




And Kallie also had potatoes for the first time. She wasn't a big fan!

A *new* me

Well, things have been going non stop around here. We have now moved on to the next "chapter" in our lives. I have always been one to love "new beginnings" so maybe that's why God is sending me on so many adventures? Either way, I am going to try to embrace it and make it worth my while!

I have a good friend that made it a New Years resolution of hers to start blogging more and interacting with the blogs she follows. I actually had some time today to browse the internet and thought I would try my hand at it as well! I was thinking earlier- I try to set goals but always seem to fail. :( Time just gets away from me. I am still working on building my photography portfolio but it is REALLY going to slow down for a while. This is the reason I am not ready to dabble in the business part of it. Once we have planted our seed somewhere, I will pursue it. Until then, I will continue to grow and learn and enjoy myself. I am itching to do a session out in the snow :)

Speaking of snow.... there is LOTS of it here. Lots. I attempted to get out today---- 15 degrees. Not fun with two kiddos! Kensley was saying "it's very cold mommy!". We went to Dick's and Famous Footwear in search of some snow boots for her. Unfortunately, the ones that would have been PERFECT were sold out in her size. So we opted for these: (in black) ....and I bought some waterproof spray. Hopefully they'll work! They're lined, unlike her other boots, so they should be warm and cozy.

The girls love the big window with the curtains that flop back and forth. They played over there for quite a while when we first got here. And McCoy is back! Woohoo! My built in babysitter :)





AAAAND.... the kitchen cabinets are a fun place to play!



Just throwing this out there- I got my 7D for Christmas and absolutely LOVE it! It's amazing how this baby handles a high ISO. :swoon:

I am now about to jump in the shower and then hop in bed. Good night all!
