More Pics of the ice storm.

Ice

Hello, from a crazy week in Kansas!! Tuesday a huge ice storm hit Kansas covering our homes, trees, and neighborhoods with ice. Thankfully, we have had power most of the time with the exception of about 12 hours. We have not had school for the last 4 days. My parents and my sister Beccy and her family have been without power since early Tuesday morning and it doesn't sound like they will be getting it anytime soon. My dad and mom have a generator, but it has quit working, soooo......They along with Beccy and her husband and 2 kids have been staying with us the last few days. Thankfully the kids are getting along, most of the time, and we aren't driving each other crazy! Kyle was happy to have the excuse to go and get a new "man tool!" The pictures are of him, my dad, and our neighbor trying to clean up and trim some branches before more fell on the roof. Others are just of the neighborhood and the numerous limbs we lost. I think we will have to cut two of our trees down when it's all said and done, but we are so thankful to have power and that none of them did any real damage to our house. My sister and parents also had several limbs down in there yards. We have had to move things back and forth and try to salvage as much food from their freezers as we can. We are suppose to get 6-8 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow, but at least it is not ice!!! Keeping our fingers crossed no more power outages. Til next time! Stay safe and warm!

It's About Time

So I am finally back on.... Yes I promised to post zoo pictures but that was like 8 months ago, sorry! Our lives have been pretty hectic lately. I recently finished coaching volleyball and am now moving on to the next activity...the church Christmas program! The boys are growing fast like everyone warns they will! It is all I can do some days to keep up with them. Kyson dumped the dogs water bowl 3 times today and also soaked Grandma's refrigerator door trying to get a drink "all by myself!" He is finally totally potty trained, and he is not even two yet, yeah! Kaleb is doing well in preschool. He is learning how to write his name. This fall he has learned how to ride his bike without training wheels. Kyle has been busy working hard trying to support his family. Here are some pictures from the last few months. In September we flew to Chicago for a friends wedding and got to spend time with Kyle's sister Laurel who lives there. It was a very fun time and nice to get away. Hope this finds all of you well!

Spring Break!

What a nice relief it was to wake up and not have to go to work today!! I am thoroughly enjoying my time at home with the boys this week. We've played soccer, Scooby-Doo X-box, made blue (Kaleb's favorite color) jello-beans and peach. Wow, maybe I'd actually be a great cook if I could stay home all the time!! We are headed to the Omaha Zoo on Thursday with our life group from church, should be pretty interesting!! I will have to add our pictures in, we are hoping it doesn't rain! Til next time.

Cheers,
Stephanie
