SNOW

We have approximately 16 inches of snow on the ground. Looks like we'll have to head over Mt. Hood to the Dalles to get home for Christmas unless they open 84 tomorrow? A few pics from this morning. I decided to burn a few calories and shoveled the driveway....I'm way out of shape!

Family Pictures

Post Card:




No school again today for the kids! We went to the photo studio last night. It was nice to get the pictures out of the way. Our family photo for the house turned out pretty good. On a totally unrelated subject, it must be the holidays because my appetite has increased. I hope not to gain more than 10 lbs. this holiday season (ha).

Must be Christmas Time...Update No School Again?

We're into the 4th day (tomorrow) of "Deep Freeze" and "Arctic Blast" 2008 according to our local news honks. I think the school district employees/teachers just want a longer vacation for themselves (ha). You should see the roads here today after 38 degrees and rain...but there's a chance for a centimeter of snow tomorrow so lets cancel school again. All I can say is I wish I grew up here on the sissy side of the state!

Oh well the kids/myself had fun playing in the snow....

Sunday Morning Surprise:



It will be a mess around here tomorrow with temps dropping and all this moisture on the roads!

Finally a few words about OSU football

Pretty cool that Quizz got Pac 10 Offensive Player and Freshman of the year and Mike Riley was honored with Coach of the Year. I sure hope that will carry over to the Sun Bowl. I still have a really bad taste in my mouth with that Civil War performance. All I will say is Mr. Banker (Def. coach) better start in January 2009 learning how to defend the spread and particular the UO spread or OSU will never win another Civil War again! The D lost the game plain and simple. OSU football has changed for me in that I love just going to the games and being with family. Maybe I've matured some?????



Other news, we finally got our tree up and decorated. It's a real nice noble fir and smells terrific! The kids had fun wearing their matching elf hats (post photo later) while decorating the tree. We're all excited to see everyone for Christmas in Irrigon.
