Most Snow in 24hrs since 1955

In our area we have gotten over 2ft of snow in the past 24 hours and it is still coming down. We have shoveled our driveway twice today and all the schools are closed, even the mall in the valley is closed. We love snow!! The driving isnt so good but its so peaceful outside and we also got to try out our snow shoes!! Here are a few pictures from today... From our Front Door Looking out at the Road

Christmas Tree!!

Right Before it got FREEZING outside we were able to go up into the mountains and cut down our Christmas tree its nothing like a tree farm tree but its the memories of cutting down our own that counts :)

ATTACK DOG!!

This is our attack dog, ya right she is harmless all she wants to do is play and sleep and of course she thinks that she will catch her tail one of these days.

First Snow!!! 2008

It snowed a little bit today and we know this is only the beginning of a big winter again we can feel it. Let it snow Let it snow Let it snow!!! I (nicole) always shovel the driveway right when it snows down so I dont have a lot to do later, and by the end of the winter i am in pretty good shoveling snow shape but today it kicked my butt!

Gas Prices Way Low!!

We are so excited gas is going down more and more all the time!! Since this picture (taken last week) it has gone it has gone down to 1.64 at flying J!! How low will it go?

Change of Heart!!!

We had a change of heart and decided we should get a dog. Because my brother convinced me that pitbulls were awesome dogs and his dog is awesome we decided to do a little of the same. She is an American Pitbull Terrier she is four months old and very playful and obedient. We decided to name her Cylla because we wanted a girly name but a different name. So we welcome her to our family!!!

Jonathan's Project

We bought a 1980 VW Rabbit Convertable to fix up and hopefully drive around in the spring. The engine has some work and the interior but once we get it going it will be awesome!!!

Silverwood Theme Park!!

The last weekend Silverwood Theme Park was open, Us coaches and Jonathan took my U-12 girls soccer team to have a little fun. We went on most of the big roller coasters but their were a few that I am too much of a wimp to ride but Jonathan was a good sport and their are some girls on the team that are more brave than me thats for sure. Jonathan hasnt been to silverwood in a long time and it was my first time so we had a blast together.

This Picture is in front of ride called the corkscrew I really like it because it was fast and short!

Shawna and I with half of the girls on our team! Yes they are all about my size!

Jonathan and I were waiting for a couple girls to get off the skydiver ride, We were hungry and ready to eat!

Family Pictures

We got family pictures done!! Here are a few of just us as a couple and then Jonathans Family

Bike Ride on the Hiawatha

Last week we went on a road the Hiawatha Trail with Nicole's Parents. It has a 1.8 tunnel of darkness that was quite amazing. It was wet, muddy, and cold all the way through. The rest of the trail was a blast. Lots of Tunnels and Bridges and beautiful all around we road 15 miles and then caught a shuttle back to the big tunnel and finished our ride going through it one more time.


This is the sweet water fall right when you get out of the 1.8 mile tunnel. Mom, Dad, Nicole, Jonathan.
First and NOT last time riding this trail. We had a blast!
Dad took this picture while we were all riding.
Riding through one of the smaller tunnels
Jonathan was trying to wheely his bike My mom is amazing, I am so glad we had a chance to do this together. I dont know if im just slow but she was cruzin the whole way!
The camera man, MY DAD. What a funny guy he had his camera in hand probably half the ride. Hopefully it was worth it cuz he got some really memorable pictures. We love you guys!!!!

Garage is FINISHED!!

This past week we decided to finish our garage. Half of it was sheet rocked mudded and taped but the other half wasnt so we finished that then we painted all the walls and the floor. Lots and Lots of work and waiting for things to dry. This is half of it before we started working on it.
Jonathan Worked his butt off painting on his days off this week, he did an awesome job! ;)
Just doing some touching up, I could see some spots through the white paint so I repainted almost that whole section.
this is the wall we sheet rocked!
FINISHED!!! :)

4th of July Camping!!

We went camping in St. Regis Montana. We stayed in the sweet cabin in town. It had a queen size bed in it as well as a bunk bed. Pretty small but a perfect way to stay the night. We also went white water rafting on the Clark fork river. Nicole fell out of the boat in a huge sweet rapid and jonathan did a half flip cliff jumping it was so much fun. This is us hanging outside on the swing in front of our cabin :)
Front of the Cabin! There was this creeking noise all night it almost sounded like bugs or someing in the walls it was freaking Nicole out all night, but nothing was ever discovered.
There was this little village on this campsite so we went a checked it out. There was a hotel, a bank, a jail, and a couple other crazy things.
Jonathan just doing his job :) Ya right there was nothing even in there just shelves.

Go Green!! Our new scooters

Since we live outside of town we were using up lots of gas driving to work and back, so we decided to buy a couple Roketa Scooters they are both 150cc they go about 55mph. We have put over 100 miles on them in the last 3 days just driving all over the place, sweet thing is we have only spent about 6 dollars in gas if that.

Carrie Underwood and Josh Turner Concert!!!

So Saturday Jonathan and I went with his mom and a couple sisters to the Carrie Underwood, Josh Turner Concert. It was so fun. We both got all dressed up western and had a great time. We were on the second row off to the side so really close. Every time they would walk over to our side there were on like 10 feet away it was so sweet.
This was right before the concert I wanted you to see Jonathan hat because I really liked it. Sometimes its hard to keep my eyes open..

Sitting down waiting for the concert to start!

Carrie Underwood!!! I have lots more pictures believe me!

Another Carrie Underwood!!!

Josh Turner!!
