A Day in the snow

I like to post pictures with my blog articles and you know how you take the pictures and then it takes awhile to get them off your camera and actually do anything with them. It hasn't snowed anytime recently, but a few weeks ago we had some snow.

The night before the big storm I headed into Wal-mart to buy another snow shovel. Parker likes to help. We got another full size so that it actually does something. I also picked up a sled.

Dad took both boys sled riding. This is the way to go sled riding.
Although sometimes you needed to hold on real tight.

They went several times during the day. Parker would get cold and come inside and then ask to go back out. Here are some night pictures. We discovered our back yard has the perfect hill for a 3 year old to go sled riding on.

Taking a walk

My boys love to go outside and I often need some fresh air and sunlight to make my day go better. Parker is so excited for it to the snow. The other day we had about an inch of snow. So I bundle everybody up and put Preston in the stroller.

I have to wait for Parker to shovel the driveway before we can go for a walk. Then he precedes to bring the shovel along with us on our walk. He was shoveling any remaining snow on the sides of the road or at the edges of driveways. We make it to the flag pole (this is our destination on a small lane behind our house) and he is now tired. So mom carries the shovel and pushes the stroller. Sorry no picture, my hands were full.
