Our First Snow

Although it snowed last week, it did not accumulate but we awoke this morning to about an inch of snow that covered the ground. Landon had a party at school today so he dressed up like a nerd this morning (he's out of school for the next 2 days) and Mason had "crazy day" at school. We carpool with Michelle who has 5 children and today was her day to drive. On their way to school, Michelle who was going very slow, lost control of the car, it spun around, hit an embankment and the car flipped. The window Landon was sitting by shattered and his elbow got cut up but other than that, everyone was OK. They all had to crawl out of the back window. We were called by a church member who drove by the scene so we when we got there, the boys were inside an ambulance to stay out of the snow. The boys were pretty shook up but PRAISE GOD for HIS PROTECTION OVER THEM! We decided to forget school today and we brought them home. Michelle's suburban is totaled. Later this afternoon, the kids got outside to play in it.....

We finally got a cord for our laptop so I have some catching up to do. Two weeks ago we went on our first family hike up Vallecito Trail. We had a great time but Landon didn't enjoy it quiet as much as everyone else (anything that requires energy is a pain to him!)

It was a beautiful hike and was up hill a ways.....






Lewis and Clark.........
Haven gave out before we were done....
Good news that we got today as that Mason made the All-Star team for football. What this means is that Saturday he will practice and the following Saturday will be the All-Star game in Farmington, NM. Then the Saturday after that will be the state tournament for the Bayfield team down in Albuquerque, NM! All this PLUS basketball games are on Saturdays! How will we have time to watch the Tide play!!! We'll figure it out I guess!
