Ryan starting his snowman.
Ryan with the "bottom" of his snowman. We continued to roll that snowball for 15 minutes and I think we ended up with a ball the size of a golf ball. He sure was determined to make it work.
Ryan at the end of his snowman making experience. He decided to make a snowmonster instead. This was done by shoveling snow/ice from the drive way and placing it in one spot. He then used a variety of nuts to make the eyes, nose and month.
Ryan heading up the hill with his friend Daelan and her friend, Grace. He really enjoyed sledding with the big kids. When did he get so big?
Caden only cared about playing baseball and riding his dump truck. He couldn't understand why the truck wouldn't go anywhere in the snow. He sure makes me laugh. What a sport.
On January 27th we had our first real snow storm in Joplin. The kids were so excited that I promised them we could go out and build a snowman first thing in the morning. So on January 28th we awoke and put on the our winter gear to go out and play in the snow. I thought making a snowman would be like riding a bike, once you know how to do it, you never forget. Well I found out this wasn't the case. The snow was so soft that we had to pile it in one spot using ice from the driveway which was left over from the ice storm the day before. The boys loved every minute of it. I am so glad that Ryan was able to build his snowman/monster that he wanted. Thank goodness for answered prayers.

THank you for updating. I have been waiting to see what you guys have been up to. I do not miss the snow in Missouri. You could hardly do stuff with it, on given days. Your boys are getting so big. What a fun family. Happy Birthday! Miss you guys!
I love the pictures of the snowman. The kids look so cute and like they are having a blast. I hope all is well
