Boys and their toys.....

While we were all playing in the snow, daddy decided to go into the shop and mess with the 4 wheeler. Everyone decided to go inside except for Evan! So when daddy got the 4 wheeler going guess who got to ride on it first!



Evan loves the 4 wheeler....

and it doesn't matter.....

what time of year it is!

Do you know who else loves the 4 wheeler????

That would be Chet, the biggest kid of them all!

 

Snowmageddon (Part 1)

So we got a major snowstorm last week, which is a lot when there has been hardly no snow for the past 2 years. After all was said and done we had a little over a foot of snow I think.

This is from the first snow we got.

 

Even Kinley was checking it out.

Our back deck

Chet helping the neighbor get his van unstuck

The birds were all over the feeder

Of course we had to go play in it.....

Chet and the kids made a snow fort

 

Here they are in the fort

Evie found a snowball

Fun with shadows (that is Rylie)

Now he is eating a snowball

She wanted me to watch her swim.....

Silly girl!

They had lots of fun.

My O

Yes that is a chair inside the fort.

Kinley and I were outside for quite a while, part of it we sat in the car and watched everyone play.

Look how pretty my baby girl is!!!!

It's been fun having some snow especially after 2 years with very little, I have quite a few more snow post to come!

Meet Captain!

As though we need more on our plate.....but we decided on another dog!

This is Captain, he is an old english mastiff.


His original owner couldn't afford to feed him so at a year old he weighed only 40lbs was skin and bones, had no hair due to mange and was pretty much dead.

The family we got him from had him for about a month or so. They nursed him back to health and posted an ad for him and that's how we found him.

Our vet said he is healthy, very lean so he will continue to put on some weight and hopefully his hair will all have grown back in the next 6 months.

Chet and Captain have really bonded and he loves all the kids.

Not a mean bone in his body, he doesn't hurt the cats but does chase them. We were going to change his name but he seems to know Captain so we will keep it.

He is only a year old so still very playful and puppy like but doesn't chew on anything but his toys, doesn't jump....just a gentle giant. And as you can see he is as tall as the cabinets.

He wasn't too sure of the snow at first but now he loves it and he loves sticks. He stays on our property and never runs off.

Even old grouchy Cayenne has been getting along with her. It's been good for the kids to have a dog to play with. They love Cayenne and she loves them but she is old and just can't hang with them like she used too. She usually stays downstairs where it is calm and quiet.
