Jourdan's Ink

Jourdan's Ink

During football season Tommy gave Jourdan a little ink to show his support for the Eagles. Jourdan sat patiently while Tommy "tattooed" him. My mom took pictures of the process. Tommy also added a little something for himself.

The Blizzard :: The Cleanup

Blizzard Day Three

After the blizzard was over we had to shovel, plow, cut down trees and play in the snow.

Getting the fallen trees off Jeff's boat.

Blizzard Day Three

He is definitely following all safety procedures.

Blizzard Day Three

Yay! The driveway is being plowed!

I think...

Blizzard Day Three

...that she might...

Blizzard Day Three

...like the snow.

Blizzard Day Three

Yup, I think they both do.

Blizzard Day Three

Finally, a clear driveway.

Blizzard Day Three

So we went for a little walk.

That about wraps up the blizzard photos. I am sure I have more snow pictures from the previous eleventeen snowstorms but I am all snowed out. I have some good pictures of Tommy and Jourdan that I will post next.

And I must add that my wonderful mama took some of these pictures of the blizzard from her camera.


The Blizzard :: How Many Trucks Can We Get Stuck?

Blizzard Day Two

The above picture was what Eaan's truck looked like when I started digging it out. And this is what it looked like when I finished. Yay! I did it all by myself.

Blizzard Day Two

So when our friend, Josh, got his truck stuck trying to come down our driveway to help us cut down some trees the boys thought they would go and get him out. They took the chainsaw because they figured they could cut down the trees too.

Blizzard Day Two

These are the trees they were going to cut down. Josh got stuck while trying to go around them.

Blizzard Day Two

Looks like more trees fell. That is stuck truck #1.

Blizzard Day Two

There goes Eaan and my brother, Chris to help.

Blizzard Day Two

And there they are five minutes later just as stuck as Josh. Stuck truck #2.

Blizzard Day Two

So they figured while they were waiting for someone to come to help them out they would cut down the trees.

Blizzard Day Two

Oh no.

Blizzard Day Two

There they are cutting the trees.

Blizzard Day Two

Us girls were standing around watching and taking pictures. I know, we were being SO productive. Anyway, I looked up at the tree right above us and said, "That tree looks like it's about to fall." About a minute later what happens? The damn tree falls. We all had to run to get out of the way. It is hard running in two feet of snow! It almost fell on Josh's truck. I don't know what was holding it up but I am glad it did not crush us or the truck. No one was hurt but it definitely scared the #@*# out of us.

Blizzard Day Two

They had to use the four wheeler to pull the tree away from the truck so that when they cut it, it would not fall on the truck.

Blizzard Day Two

Oh look! Someone is coming to pull the trucks out. Oh...wait. Oh no. Truck #3 is stuck too. That is 3 stuck trucks.

Blizzard Day Two

Around ten that night the other trucks were able to get out. Eaan left his truck for the next morning.

Blizzard Day Three

Clear skies, lots of trees and lots of snow. Look at all the carnage.

Blizzard Day Three

A plow truck tried to plow our driveway and ended up getting stuck and had to be pulled out. (That is truck #4 in case anyone was counting) A tractor with a bucket on the front and a plow on the back ended up having to clear the snow. He also pulled Eaan out. The tractor almost got stuck too. In the end everyone was able to get unstuck, the trees were all cut and out of the way, the driveway was cleared and no one was struck by a falling tree. A very successful day in my eyes.

Blizzard Day Three

We still had a lot more work to do. More snow blowing, shoveling and cutting down trees but the kids were also able to come outside and play. I actually got some cute pictures of Layla enjoying the snow! I will put up the last post on the blizzard tomorrow. Happy Friday everyone!!

The Blizzard :: Day Two

Blizzard Day Two

The second day of the blizzard was worse than the first day. There were high winds so playing outside was not any fun. Layla did get out for a bit though. She really wanted to check it out. We actually found her like this on the front porch. She had slipped out without us knowing. (She can now open my mom's front door) She was not even acting like she was cold. Crazy little baby. After she went down for a nap we got down to business. My mom started snow blowing the driveway and I started shoveling out Eaan's truck and a walkway to the house. (We have a big front yard.) Jourdan played outside for a bit then decided Wii would be a lot better...and warmer. Otis was even having fun.

Blizzard Day Two

Layla finally came out for a little (properly dressed) but with the wind and snow she really did not like it.

Blizzard Day Two

The snow did make for some pretty pictures.

Blizzard Day Two

Mom hard at work.

Blizzard Day Two

That is a whole lot of snow.

Blizzard Day Two

Oh no! A tree fell on the house. We do not think it did any damage though.

Blizzard Day Two

Oh no! Another one on Jeff's boat...the trees were dropping like flies. Wait until you see where the next tree fell.
