Snow Adventures

The Saturday after Christmas while I was attending the temple and making Christmas exchanges Wes and the girls ventured out into the big wide, snow covered world. They decided it would be funner and safer to walk to the bank instead of drive. I love these pictures that Wes took.

This is the snow capped mountain near our home.

Wes and the girls first ventured through the park, but then decided to take the neighborhood side walks.

Icicles for the Snow Princess

This morning Adelle was looking out of the window and was quite taken with the large icicles hanging off the front of the house. She said to me within Wes' earshot "I wonder what it would be like if daddy were to get me an icicle". Wes commented that she was just like me in asking for something she wanted indirectly. Hey, what is wrong with not being direct? Anyway, he got her one. I asked her to please put in the shower so it wouldn't melt all over the carpet. She was quite surprised later to see that it had almost melted away.

Winter Visitor

Saturday our little house and area were hit hard by a snow storm. I was really glad I had no where to go. It is common for this time of the year for us to get a blizzard like storm. Well, Adelle and I were just hanging out when we noticed our cat acting strange. We looked out the window to see a bird eating our birdseed bell. We bought it at the Tracy Aviary a little while ago. I couldn't believe that in the middle of a blustery storm this bird was trying to eat. He must have been really hungry! I am glad though that he had something to eat to keep him alive this winter. Can you see all the snow covering a lot of the seeds?
