Following her recent detist appointment, I asked Phoebe if it was hard not to talk while she was getting her teeth cleaned.
Phoebe smiled and shook her head.
"Oh no, I talked lots, but it was hard with her hand in my mouth!!!" :)

Sledding.....
Left to right; Esther, Seth, Micah, Tabitha, Elizabeth, Moses and Noah!
Our family's favorite way to enjoy the snow is to go sledding with the tractor. Who can keep their grip on the bar the longest, while their face gets blasted with snow?! Who can shove the most people off the bar, while still holding on?!?! And when the tractor stops, who will be the one still holding onto the bar?!?! Most often yesterday, the answer was Noah and Seth, but we girls managed to hold our own ground in the long run!!
At the bottom of the hill, looking back up at those who lost their grip along the way!!
"The Plow" is the name of our smallest sled (no, we don't usually name our sleds), a 3 foot piece of uncomfortably molded plastic that came into our possesion a few years back. It is the worst sled for spraying snow in your face, and anyone who rides on it or beside it will be covered in about 50 tons of snow before the tractor stops. However, it has long been Esther's favorite sled, and she refuses to use any other. Often when the tractor stops, we have to spend several minutes digging her out because of the massive ammount of snow that she gets plastered with. The following picture is a demonstration of "The Plow" at work.....
(Esther is on the far LEFT!)
On one round, Roscer grabbed a ride, but as soon as we picked up any speed, he had the sense to jump clear.
Anyone care to join us on our next sledding adventure?!?!

Wrestling.......
Step back folks, give 'em some room!! In the end, Seth won, much to Noah's dismay!!!
UNO Attack........
(Scott just got 6 more cards!!!! Hooray! Oops, he doesn't look to happy about it!) :)
Sledding......
(Dare I leave the porch for a better picture??? Hm, let me think for a minute---Seth, plus snow equals a snowball, and with his aim, I don't think I'll venture any farther!!!) :)
Butchering Beef I
Last month some friends blessed us with a cow, and we decided to butcher her. We had the locker kill and quarter her, and with Dad and the boys home from work last Saturday, we tackled our 1,200 pound project!!!
We were so grateful for our neighbor and friend, Earl Meyer, and all his wonderful help! His experience and expertise were much appreciated by us novices!!!
It took us a little over 7 hours to get her completely processed and in the freezer....Hamburgers, anyone?!?!

Will it Snow?!?!
On New Year's Eve, we had our first snow; a light dusting that added up to about 4 inches in the end!!
And now, our second snow is forecasted for this week-end! Oh- the excitement in the faces of our younger ones, and the hope that the snow will be enough to keep Daddy home from work for a day!
