Ice, Ice Baby!

I thought I would post some pictures from the ice storm we had last month for those of you living South and West of here!
We lost power for about 3 days, we were one of the fortunate ones. We have a gas fireplace, stove and water heater, so we were still able to cook, shower and keep fairly warm. I am not a winter person, so I am certain after all of this that I do not want to live any further North!


This is Jacob's soccer net. Our poor tree. Todd and I tried to knock some of the ice off, and bolt it back together. Now we are waiting for spring to see if it worked.
It was a very eerie sound as the trees started to crack and break from all of the weight of the ice. There are not many trees left with their tops. A pilot called Todd last week and asked him what in the world happened here. He thought a tornado had come through.

Just a couple...

Well, here a re a couple of pics from Christmas. I know you all have been waiting to see something new from me, just can't get enough pics of my kids, right?
Hopefully I'll have some basketball pics to post soon. Just need to get it done. Won't be long, but I can't promise! ;o)Here is Jacob and their cousin, Tyler. I know, you can't see Jacob because he is wearing his camo and he blends with the tree, but look hard, he's there!
