Cold again

Drove to work in whiteout (blizzard) conditions Sunday (Valentines' Day). We didn't get much snow, just the cold and wind blew all the loose snow everywhere. By the time I drove home the wind had died down and things were 'normal'.

Found out Kyle will more than likely need jaw surgery. I can't pronounce what they call it! Seems his lower jaw is growing too fast and his upper jaw isn't keeping up with it. They have been keeping an eye on it for a year now, but its not slowing down. I want more info before I give a 'green light' to get it done. I know the dentist is a specialist, but that's just me to find out everything I can first.

Jared is getting adept at car maintenance, his car is getting on its last leg. Hopefully it'll last until school is out. Insurance is more on his beater than our PU's with full coverage! (Yikes!)

Patrick decided to go to a casino with a friend....told him he'd better bring me back some 'cow money'. :-)
I have been doing the same as I usually do, not much other than chores, and work. I like being a homebody. Just wish the weather was more agreeable to get more stuff done outside!

Let it Snow

The first week of February brought us 3 inches of new snow. Then we got another inch over the weekend. But it didn't come with wind or nasty cold this time. It was the pretty, big flakes that came straight down. Like what you see on the movies!
The nasty cold waited until this Monday (the 8th), blowing some of the snow around.

The boys had a band concert Sunday. It was a short program, but as always, enjoyable. Between that, pep band, and other activities/work they are involved in, sometimes I don't see them much. I see them off in the mornings, and sometimes they swing by work to visit before they are off to something else. Some weeks are crazy, other weeks (thankfully) have a slower pace.

Patrick had a black powder meeting Sunday, I was amazed at the turnout--the Superbowl was on, too. Stiff competition for time! He has been scouting new targets for them, life-size and in color. They're pricier, but members liked them so his work paid off.
Jared will only get to go to two shoots this year (and cleanup day in March) until he is off to Ft. Benning for training. Kyle isn't as interested in the black powder, and not sure if he'll compete. I know his Grandpa Russell would like him to participate.

My mom called the other day from deep south Texas (they are "winter Texans"). She said they had gotten more rain and it was chilly some days. I laughed at that comment. Warm here right now is their "chilly". I'd be elated to see 40 degrees on end in the winter! ;)
