Leave it to a man to post (let alone even take) pictures of our "gun" collection...AND post a picture of his wife with two or three chins!! I honestly should monitor this blog more! :) AND, I like having the kids home, it's cozy...very loud, but cozy. Hope your New Year is starting off on a positive note. Here are a few pictures from St. Louis. Love to you all! :)

Weapons free zone

So a 'Weapons Free Zone' can have 2 meanings. The first means that there are no restrictions on the use of weapons and you may fire at will...this is what our house has been like for the past year or so. However, after one to many point blank shots to the head (and when someone about 3 feet tall shot Mom in the face) we are invoking the other definition of a 'Weapons Free Zone' which of course would mean that the area is now free of weapons, ie you must check them at the door. I've attached a photo for your viewing pleasure. Obviously we are talking about Nerf 'weapons'.
In other news we had a fantastic Christmas in St Louis. The boys are loving all their new toys and Mom and Dad cannot wait for school to start again! The pictures are of all the boys dressed in their astronaut costumes...my sisters kids have been doing it for years, but we are a bit slow up here in the Northland. Also there is a pic of KM and our friends out for a New Years eve dinner...no we didn't actually eat at the Brown Jug Liquor store but it made for a good picture.
Thanks to everyone for your cards, gifts and phone calls during the Christmas holiday, its always great to hear from friends and family.

Winter Fun

Well, here are a few more photos. In total I think we had about 18" of snow. We went to Max's pre-school Christmas party...and then went and got haircuts and new shoes for our St. Louis trip!! The winter, red coat pictures were taken in a gas station parking lot! :)

SNOW!!!! :):):)

Thirteen inches of snow!!! Isn't it BEAUTIFUL!?!?! We are having a ball, and it really looks and feels like Christmas now! :) No Max isn't really buried to his neck, but it made for a better visual impact to put it in there that way.

Mtn snow

Here's some pictures from Lost Lake, which is near Seward AK. It was a beautiful day and we had a blast snowmobiling.

A few more

Here's a few pics from the Navy ball, and the kids in their astronaut costumes for halloween.

Oops

Okay faithful viewers, sorry for the huge gap in posts. Our life is getting away from us as usual. All is well, we've been busy and not taking as many pics as we should. But I'll try to get a bunch posted soon. Here's a few from a fall hike with the dogs and the pumpkins. Time to go sled, so more later. Take Care, Storm
