SNOWED IN

The weather has been a little crazy around here lately. The past few days the wind has been blowing and blowing like a mad man. People getting stuck left and right. My neighbor asked if I would help pull her out with my truck last night. We loaded up and headed out. About 10 feet later I was stranded in my own driveway. It was late with no hope of getting unstuck. I woke up this morning to this NIGHTMARE! I can't even get my door open to get in my truck. YUCK! I want my mommy. I am doing my research right now on the warmest places to live, selling everything we own, and spending the rest of my life in paradise. Yup, I've had enough.
On a happy note.........Carson and Kelton went to the pine wood derby on Saturday. Brian helped them make some pretty sweet and FAST cars. There were about 50 kids who participated.
Carson had a pretty dang fast car, but when it was Keltons turn he broke the track record not once but twice. The guy in charge of the derby said he has never seen a car go so FAST. Kelton went away with 1st place, TRACK RECORD, and 2 trophy's. Wow.......great job boys, and Bri.

Oh boy...do I ever remember living in Ashton! Kenny loves the snow, so he welcomed it. That truck looks to dang nice, to be buried in the snow Heather. Good luck...make some Hot Chocolate, and sit by the fire, and refuse to do anything else!!!

California is calling your name! Come down here with us!

Those cars look awesome. Be sure you keep them and then frame them in a shadowbox type frame. The boys will love it and can tell their Pinewood Derby stories forever! (good family history thing.)Great room decoration too.

Hey! Where did my comment GO? I commented 3-4 days ago and it never showed up! Anyway, I super-proud of these dudes and of course, the man who made it all possible - Brian! They make a great team. You need to make sure you LET US KNOW when these 'most important' events are happening so we can come and CHEER!

That truck of yours is saying, "Get me out of here!" The weather 'up there' is something else! I'm just so happy you have your fireplace to keep you warm! KEEP WARM!

All I can say is wow! That is alot of snow. Probably more snow in that single picture than what we've seen living in Atlanta for three years.

Your boys are getting so big!
