Where is the snow?

I wrote this on our driveway last week when we played outside with the kids. For those who do not know Fil, he is walking weather station. This year has been hard on him since we got only few inches of snow so far. (especially compared to Denver) He has been talking about the big mama for a long time. Well last week he got something finally. We got only 10 inches but it made our day.
When we are done sledding in our back yard we head out for the big hill at the city's golf course. Here is Nate and Emma resting after going up and down few times. And this is me with my daughter. She was not so sure about all those people around. But she got to go down with Dad and Mom few times.

Sam and Nate always enjoy sledding. They are such good brothers.

And here is Fil going down with Emma. She was not so sure about it.

And here is Fil coming up with Emma. No surprise there that she wanted to be carried up.
And here is Nate and Sam after their super duper ride down. (They are fine by the way.)

Awana Grand Prix

Today was a big race at Awana. The GRAND PRIX. This year we raced for the first time since it is not for Cubbies but Sparks and up. The boys worked hard on their cars for few weeks with dad and here are the results. Sam won 3rd place in Sparks category. Nate race just for fun since he is in Cubbies. The race was a lots of fun especially for Fil.

Nate's car. The rules are no help from parents which was very hard on me. But the boys did a good job. Nate was not officially in the race so he did not have a number so he put all the numbers on just in case.Sam's car.

You can see Sam's car in the finish lane.

And here is our Emma. She wanted a car too to race with too. (Or to suck on.)

Snow

You are not reading wrong. We are almost in the middle of February and we are so exited about this storm. We got full 3 inches of fresh snow and we call it the storm of the season. Pretty sad huh? Anyhow for those in Colorado let us enjoy our few inches :) As you can see the kids loved it.

Our summer beach toys work even in the winter. I guess a dump truck works with sand as well as with snow.
Emma loved going down the hill in our back yard with Daddy. She did not want to stop like her dad and kept asking for more.

Let's go people :)

Even our cars are in use during the winter months. Emma just like siting in it now but I have a feeling that by summer she will be cruising around.
