Holiday Blizzard of '07

Here is a picture of someone who got stuck on our street. The drifts were about 3 feet high.
That's Emily, sitting in the bank and watching. But she did contribute the kitty litter.

Here is a picture of the back yard. The one drift is about 4-1/2 feet high in the top corner.

Here is a picture of Reese trying to make a tunnel in the snow drift.

If you scroll down the page a little bit, you will see a picture of the retaining wall in all of it's glory. Here, the retaining wall is covered by snow drifts. I guess this is a small test to see if it holds.

It took 4 men with shovels and a few handfuls of kitty litter to get this Tahoe unstuck. He did finally make it, and convinced me that I should probably stay put today.

6th Grade Band Concert

This evening, the TMS 6th Grade Band performed for friends and family at the Liberty High School Auditorium. We were not seated properly to get a picture of Emily while she was playing her clarinet, but there are some pictures of her before and after the show.
"When does this thing start?"

Noelle's 5th Birthday Party

Noelle celebrated her 5th birthday at Focus on the Family. She was joined by her playgroup friends and some friends from preschool. It was not the happiest birthday ever, as she was up most of the night with a tummy bug and still has some residual effects the morning of her birthday. She was a trooper and pulled herself through the day. She felt much better that evening and was able to enjoy a trip to Chuck E. Cheese for a family birthday dinner.

Emily indulged her with a joke book and a children's CD.
