Snow in Corvallis!

Snow here in Corvallis is a fairly rare thing. Last year it snowed once about 2 inches (and melted by the end of the day) I went into work because to me it was no big deal, but everyone was surprised I would risk driving. Monday it snowed 3 inches and everything shut down. No school, no work. A real snow day! Besides all that, it has been very cold and we still have snow left, the roads are slick and we are scheduled to have another storm today. It is so nice to get a dose of real winter! By Utah standards the roads are clear, by Corvallis standards it is unfit to drive, which makes driving fairly fun because everyone is staying at home so I get to have the road all to myself to have fun and slide around all I want.

The kids went out and played in Sunday's mild snow (that melted by the end of the day) and made some cute mini snowmen. You can see how little snow we got ...

Oregonian Thanksgiving

I know this is kinda, (well a lot) late but I just loaded the pictures on my computer and had to share them. Joey and I and the kids went to Salem to have Thanksgiving at Jonna's house (Joey's sister). It was fun we had the kids for four full days. There was lots of tasty food, Joey made a whole bunch of vegetarian food, including my favorite - mashed potatoes. It was joyous!


Here are a few of the pictures we took:

Just recently several of his sisters and his parents came to visit and took this picture of all of us when we were at the Carousel in Salem.
