This year
Blanding had one of the best years ever for snow. We really were blessed this past winter with moisture. By the time Russ had shoveled it all he would probably argue for a curse more than a blessing; but when you live where we do we'll take all the water we can get.
Luckily the kids both got new snow stuff for Christmas and they were outfitted for such a harsh winter. They loved the snow. Wyatt loved to eat it and throw snowballs, and Evan loved sledding and attempted a snowman a few times.
The snowman was tricky because the snow was so soft and deep that neither Russ or I could walk on top without sinking through to the bottom which for him and I was at least waist deep. So only Evan and Wyatt could walk on the top and trying to explain how to build a snowman to a 3 year old without being able to show him was a little tricky. Luckily his cousins came over to help shovel off the roof and while they were here my niece was able to help him get one built.
This is the tree out side our front porch. It was so pretty because the trees were so heavy with snow that they just drooped over until they rested on the top of the snow.
In this picture you can see the snow piling up. If you look close you can see the top of our trailer almost covered in snow; and off to the right is our 4 wheeler submerged underneath.
Poor Abby, who loves to be outside, had to "melt" in the tub whenever she came back inside. She is a house dog but still has to go out to go the bathroom. The snow would ball up around her fur and would freeze. If you pulled on the balls it would rip her fur out, so she had to melt each time she came back in.
After we shoveled off our roof it created a mound right outside our door. Evan would climb up the mound from the porch and then sled off into our front yard. He had a great time because he was able to do it by himself.
