After the blizzard - we began to dig out....

Sean, Brooks & I after John dug out the entire driveway.

Sean on the road- plowed - but not pavement!

Snowmageddon Part 2

The snow is still falling tonight - so we don't know how much more snow we got (at least 20 more inches) - but either way - we are READY for spring! Sean enjoyed our time outside today though...Altogether - we probably have between 40-50 inches of snow in our yard - and won't see green grass for awhile!


Our Street during Wednesday's storm - no plows, no cars, no people.

Sean on his first sled ride (on my old sled from when I was a child).

Helping Daddy Shovel...

Sean's snow "fort" that daddy built him.

Snow Ice Cream!!!!!

John remembered making "Snow Ice Cream" during snowstorms when he was a child. So, he found the recipe and whipped up a batch. It was yummy!!


Daddy & Sean enjoying the snow ice cream.


Sean couldn't get enough....



he LOVED it!

Blizzard of February 2010 - Part 1

On Saturday, February 6th - We were hit with Part 1 of the Blizzard of February 2010. We recieved 20+ inches of snow in 24 hours - The snow was almost as deep as Sean - so there wasn't much he could do to play in it - since he couldn't move in it - but he did have fun watching it fall.



Brooks at the beginning of the snowfall - this was before it was higher then him and we had to "dig" out a spot for him in the yard.


Just starting to Fall on Friday afternoon.

Sean helping to "shovel"

It's deeper then Sean - he couldn't move once he got in....

He preferred to stay on the shoveled driveway...:)

Sean's First Trip to the Movies!

Today, we took Sean to the movies for the 1st time. We saw the Princess & the Frog. Sean wasn't sure what to expect - and as soon as the previews started - he was instantly quiet and thoroughly into what he was watching. For a 2 year old - he did very well at the movies - he became antsy the last 15 minutes or so, but overall did very well. He loved dancing in his seat to the music in the movie - and he LOVED eating the popcorn. All in all, a successful day! And, the movie was GREAT!

Sean in his seat before the movie started, not the best picture - but you get the idea.

Eating popcorn - waiting for the movie to start.

Sean's Visit to the FireStation

Today we took Sean to visit Uncle Andy at the fire station. Sean was so excited to see a fire truck that he told Mommy she could not go shopping first (as planned) - and when he got there, his mouth hung open in awe as he looked & sat in the firetrucks. Uncle Andy was also nice enough to show Sean his office, bunk area, and the TV/Kitchen area where the fire-fighters hang out. All in all - a GREAT time...:)

Sean LOVES firetrucks!

Sean's ready to drive - where's the fire?

Sean's First Blizzard - the Blizzard of 2009

Sean had a fantastic time playing in the snow during his "first" blizzard. He loved trying to eat the snow - and laughed when Mommy made her first snow angel in about 20 years (there are no pics of this!) - By this morning when we went out - the snow was up to his waist, so he wasn't able to move much - but he still loved it. I had to bribe him to go inside with promises of hot chocolate.

All dressed in his snow gear (Thanks Grammy!) and ready to go!


This was Brooks' first blizzard too - and he LOVED it!



Sean is standing in the snow - as you can see - it comes up to his waist!

Mommy & Sean in the snow - about 1/2 way through the storm.

Sean checking it all out...He loved to eat the snow (don't worry - we taught him NOT to eat the yellow snow!)...
