April Snow Day

Snow Day in April! In between grading exams I took some time out to put together a small snowman in the backyard with the boys.Emmalee was the architect and project manager for the fortress. It didn't make it much past the second level of snow blocks, but it was quite good for a first attempt.
An hour after this photo was taken the sun came out and our snowman collapsed. It started snowing again awhile later.

The snow is supposed to continue off and on through tomorrow. It should be fun!

Randon Pictures

So, I have been tagged. Sadly, I have been tagged before but haven't done anything about it but today I decided to do something about it. (Peer pressure from Alyssa.)

Anyway, the tag was to post the 6th picture in the 6th folder. Our computer situation is a little complicated. So, I decided to post a couple of random pictures.

The first one is the wild yellow rose bush that used to be in my parents yard. I think they transplanted it when they remodeled their house. I love yellow roses and this is why. This bush was always beautiful and in bloom on my birthday. I always felt like it was a great birthday present. My parents sent me this picture last year for my 30th birthday. It was my favorite present! (Amanda yours was right up there too!)

This picture is my cousin Aleesha and I at our grandma's house. Her mom recently sent this to me. I was lucky enough to have four girl cousins that were about my age! They all lived close together and I lived far away so I didn't get to play as much as I would have liked but I have great memories!
