"It's not cold out"

This is one thing I will always be grateful to Winnipeg for; while all us Albertans hide in the house, my born and semi-raise son and his Winnipeger friend thought it was the perfect weather for digging snow tunnels.

Our neighbours across the way had a huge snow pile between 2 drive ways.  After trying to dig out our piddly little snow drifts, I could see Nolan and Greg debating on how much trouble they might get in if the neighbours came home and found them digging in their snow.  The desire for the awesomest snow tunnel ever won out and they slowly inched their way over.  While I sat cozy in the house they dug and dug until their tunnel was connected from the top to the bottom. 

Jarom

Jarom has been quite the busy little boy as of late.  Last week he was invested as a Cub.  He was most serious as he made his pledge in front of his Pack.  I love it when the Pack does the Grand Howl and yell for all to hear about DIB'ing and DOB'ing.  Jarom must be taking his DIB'ing to heart as he shoveled the driveway yesterday without a word from his mama.  I was most appreciative, as you can imagine, and patted his cute little head and sent him off for cookies - cause that's the kind of mom I am.

Tonight after months of begging for a little show of what Jarom has learned in the Hip Hop lesson Spencer had to sell a kidney to pay for; we finally got to see what Jarom has learned.  Let me tell you, this Kool Kat has some serious moves.   We did however discover this kid has no skills in the skipping department -Spencer and I decided we are cool with that.

I took this picture last week, after watching Jarom come towards me, with that so sweet little grin of his.  Probably should have cleaned the salt off the mirror.

Welcome 2011

I always get overwhelmed  with all the posting I could do about Christmas and all the fun that was had, so I am skipping ahead to currant day and doing Flashbacks every now and then.

We are hoping 2011 is as good to us as 2010 was.  Looking back we had so many blessings and wonderful thing happen to us.
