Just to give you an idea of the amount of snow we have received...
It's been crazy. To keep on top of it our neighbor Doug is outside at all hours of the day and night shoveling the snow in both his yard and ours. He is a Saint-probably the best neighbor EVER! So Ryan and the boys decided to keep on top of his driveway for a day while he was at work. It snowed that whole entire day. To keep on top of our sidewalks Ryan and Paxton went out several times and by the time they went back inside, the sidewalks were all white again.
Paxton absolutely loves shoveling the walks with his Dad. In fact, he asks all day long if its time to go out and shovel snow again.
One time we found him out shoveling himself. His best technique with the snow shovel is to find huge piles of snow, dig into them and transfer that pile of snow to another one that he finds somewhere else.
Not really productive, but the kid is sure a hard worker!

This is how much snow was on the trampoline out back
It's so nice to have Ryan around lately to help with the boys. I just don't have the energy anymore-this last month of pregnancy is kicking my butt!
Paxton came to me while I was packing and said, "Mom- your working and Gauge is sleeping-no one wants to play with me" Then he walked away with his head down. Ryan got home right after that with a sled in hand and took him right outside to play.
Here he got thrown onto the trampoline full of snow
they kicked down frosty
and kicked down the snow fort
then they went across the street where there are gigantic piles of snow in the school parking lot and sledded down over and over again. I wish I had taken pictures. We will have to get picture of the boys all sledding later.

We found out this week that Ryan is finished with his classes on BYU campus. This means that when we move Ryan won't have to stay behind and we won't have to figure out how to finish these two classes while going back and fourth from Idaho. He is officially finished with school at BYU on campus and can take the rest of his classes online or at Boise State and still graduate from the Y. One more out of so many blessing we have received while trying to plan and move. I think this is blessing 1,999 -just since we have been trying to get moved!

We knew that was you- you're in trouble... Thanks it was nice to come home to a clean driveway. We know it's a big job; hope you enjoyed the exercise as much as us. Hopefully when Paxton is a teenager in Idaho he'll still want to help Ryan shovel snow, or better yet Paxton and Gauge will have it all done before Ryan gets home from work!
What can we do to help with the move (since we want you gone so badly)? We have boxes folded down in the International Scout from our move back from AZ. You may need a few boxes.
That is just so foreign to us, but I kind of long for it. Enjoy what you have when you have it! Glad to see you all taking advantage.
Just think....when you live in Idaho you don't have to deal with all of that snow!! If it snows it is usually is gone by the afternoon!
Congrats Ryan! Only two classes left--you can finish them up fast online and graduate!! Way to go bro!
