16" of SNOW!!!

Our Arizona Snowman!

Jaron loves the snow, just doesn't like being cold.

Isaak taking Jaron for a sled ride ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!

My kids, Jaron, Zerek, Miranda and Isaak
We were stuck in the house for 5 days straight, a few hours
with no power, but we survived...

Merry Christmas

Christmas Tree Cutting 2008

As you can see our annual cutting down of the Christmas Tree can get a little stressful.

Miranda and Jaron
Jaron shivered the whole time.

Isaak wanted to be the tree.
What great imaginations!!!

My kids. They complained the whole time,
but as you can see from the pictures they had a great time.
We've been going to this place for 4 or 5 years.
It's on the backroads on the way to Deron's work.
I always wanted to own a Christmas Tree Farm.
They serve hot cider and cookies.
