SNOW in VEGAS!

 

 

 

 

I know you all never believe me when I tell you it snows here, but here is proof! Once every couple of years, there is snow. This time, there was enough in Henderson to close the schools the next day. We had about 5-6 inches on the ground in our neighborhood. We even made a great snow man. It took forever to get home that night. No one in Vegas knows how to drive in the snow. I was one of the lucky ones to have 4 wheel drive. I locked it in and away we went. My sister couldn't get her car home. Even after having our brother drive it. He just went to a rally school on the east coast. All they did was drive in the snow. I was so fun!!

It's about time!!

So I decided to update the blog. I have a lot to post so don't hate me if its out of order. I need to post Hailey's b-day and Christmas too!!

Halloween

 

Snowboarding

 

Our Family has taken up snowboarding. Kelly's parents bought a condo in Brianhead UT. Bill has been snowboarding for a while. Last season he bought a new updated snowboard. Kelly learned how to snowboard in high school but hasn't done it since. We found a good deal on a used board and bought it for Kelly right before Thanksgiving. We rented boards for the kids and away we went. so far we have gone up to the condo 3 weekends. The kids took to it fast. Clay is a natural. Kelly, Hailey & Clay are going to get a family lesson next time up. Bill gets real sore trying to help us learn.

Hailey's first lost tooth

 

Hailey has been waiting all school year to get her name on the chart for lost teeth. Well, finally about a week before school got out it was pulled out by mom!!

We love to feed the animals

 

 

 

 

Mrs. Corbett took the kids and I to feed the animals at the animal preserve that is just up the street. As you can see Hailey and Clay are pretty fearless when there is a fence between them and the camels!

Well, needless to say, our very own Auntie Angela is very talented. The kids wanted grapes one afternoon and Auntie make them a sculpture of cowboy riding a horse, out of grapes!!
