Winter is Here!

Last Sunday they were predicting a blizzard and they were right. Monday morning I woke up to 8 text messages on my phone saying school had been cancelled. It snowed all day with 30-40 mph winds and I bet we ended up with about 18 inches! Our entire street was closed with about 10 foot drifts every few hundred yards. We packed Bridger up and pulled him around on the sled and even stopped at G&G Jensens house for a few hours on Tuesday! Jeremy was on his days off so we spent Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday together and just hung out! I finally went back to school on Thursday and Jeremy was glad to see me go for a few hours after we had spent so much time together in our house....

Brian and Ashley drove part of the way and walked the rest to our house on Tuesday afternoon. Brian and Jeremy got the bright idea to jump off our roof into this giant snow pile (above). Luckily neither was hurt and all limbs were still intact when they were finished. (Below) This is our neighbors house to the north of us, notice the nice drift in front of the garage door!


These 2 pictures show the brightest people in Gillette trying to maneuver their way around during the blizzard.... We laughed as we watched them try to get unstuck for a few hours :-) Bridger kept telling Jeremy and I he was going outside with his boots on to pull them out with his monster truck... Yes, the guy above tried to drive his truck through a 5ft drift, Brilliant!




This was the drift outside our front door (above). The picture below is in front of a 10 ft drift outside Jeremy's parents house. Sorry you can't really see Bridger, he was bundled for the trek home....

I think Bridger will be jumping off the roof in next years snow storms. However, he will be so sly all you will see is a shadow. He learned those tricks from his mom.
