Snow Fun

Will begs me almost every day to let him play in the snow and so today I made sure he got to play and have some fun!  He is such a happy kid and was in heaven dragging his toys through the deep snow :).

Snowy Playday

I love days like today!  Will had a dentist checkup today and he did great, no cavities.  After the appointment he crashed on the couch and took a little nap so I was able to get a little bit done today.  

After his little snooze I bundled him up so he could play outside for a while before Dad got home.  This boy loves to be outside, even in the winter!

 Emmie woke up and was missing her brother ;)

 Once Mike made it home Will insisted on "helping" Mike shovel.  I was dying laughing because every time Mike turned his back Will would dump snow right where Mike just cleaned.  It was so stinkin funny!

 Eventually Mike caught him ;)

 We decided to head to a movie and when we got there we were the only ones there!  It was hilarious.  I guess the re-release of Beauty and the Beast wasn't too popular tonight and it was definitely a little scary for Will.

A Windy Day

Last night we experienced a major wind storm here in Davis County.  I had been watching the weather and saw we were high alert but when we were awoken this morning around 3am I was shocked at how intense the wind was.  I honestly have never experienced wind that strong.  Around 530 things really picked up and we lost power and then things started getting really crazy.  Most of our neighbors roofs started getting ripped off and shingles were blowing everywhere.  We had neighbors basketball hoops fall on cars, garage doors buckle, sheds moved, fences blown down etc.  On the way to Will's preschool I  saw huge trees uprooted, homes damaged by toppled over trees, business signs demolished, trampolines on houses and on and on.  It was crazy to actually be seeing with my own eyes.  The wind was registered at over 100 mph and I believe was classified as tornado strength winds.  We are definitely counting our blessings that our home was safe through the storm.  It was interesting because just last week I took apart our trampoline and put it in the shed, Mike fixed and secured some places on our roof Monday, at 3am Mike pulled his car in before there was any damage to his car, and the absolute only damage we received was our fence blew apart.  We are so very grateful for the safety our home provided for us!  So crazy!

This pic just made me laugh as I went to check on Will tonight :)

Surprise!  We got dumped on!!!

Playing in the Rain

This morning we had an insane rain storm and within minutes the streets were full of water.  The rain was so heavy and wet and Will and I just had to go play in it!
