We went SLEDDING off the ROOF!!!!

We woke up to about 8 new inches of HEAVY snow. We had a morning of chores awaiting us in the great WHITE outdoors!! Due to our 37 inch down fall a week ago our roof had quite a load on it. I ran over it earlier this week in the really high build up areas but today we did it all.

We could walk on and off the roof like our roof was ground level. (or Snow Level) We got the front portion done and said to each other "We could sled off the roof the snow is so high". We say that every time we shovel the roof but this year.......We did it!!!! I had Aaron go first (I am a bit of a chicken) He said "I've got life insurance, I'll see you at the bottom". All I could do is jump down and grab the camera. Then it was my turn with little hesitation off I went. It was a blast!!! We let Clayton join in the fun. He either takes after me or is smart, I don't know which. He hesitated he started down once and threw his feet down as breaks to stop himself just before the icy gutter edge. He regrouped and took off again, this time making it down. "Wow that was awsome" was all he could say. Well we have a lot more work to get done the front door is completely snowed in......Aaron says"have everyone call ahead and go through the garage instead of using the front door till spring". Then bless his heart went to work clearing the front door. So all are WELCOME!! We had to widen the driveway it is slowly becoming a 1 car drive instead of the 3 it could be. Then off to the back to clear some room for the dog to do her business. Gotta keep the dog happy too.

Unfortunately Aaron & I forget how old we are. Were not spring chickens anymore and this kind of stuff really takes a toll on our bodies. (Shoveling that is not Sledding)

We may not be moving tomorrow. :)

LET IT SNOW!!

I love the snowy pictures!!
My Neighbor and I worked on our drive from 5:30 till 7:00 then my little sister showed up on there four wheeler to plow us out ....... shucks we had just finished so she did the neighbors. We have so much beautiful snow!!
This is our truck. Aaron I don't think well be moving that till spring.








Clatyon and Cody standing in the middle of the front yard. I couldn't contain them 7:00 this morning they are up and running. No School!!! I would go back to bed but not my little guys there off and running!!




Casen running through a small path in the front yard. It's up to his chest or better.
We love the snow!!



In North Idaho it knows how to SNOW!!

WINTER HAS ARRIVED!!

We went to bed with a foot or so of snow and got up to this........ This picture is of a 4 foot fence.
The 2nd also a 4 foot fence and the last my roof. We are loving it. What a Paradise!! It is so beautiful!!
The temp is only 18* with a high of 21* which is a tropical heat wave for us. Our highs have been in the single digits with a wind chill. Today school has been canceled!! You just really have to keep an eye on who you let out and when..... they might get lost out there and not make it back in.
I tried to do my little paper route last night. I waited till after 8pm thinking that people would shovel or blow or plow there drives and NO....No one had, not to mention nearly no roads have been plowed yet. My brakes went out in my little van due to too much snow in my undercarriage and it's too cold to quickly compensate.
We are loving the snow. What a Winter Wonder Land!!

Be Safe & Have Fun!
