Happy 2017!!<\/p>\n

We made this picture tonight in the front yard. It is a 10 second exposure. Bill was flipping and spinning with his Jedi skills making the blue and red light with the boys’ toy lightsabers. I was writing the numbers with a small flashlight. The boys did their best to not move for 10 whole seconds! All things considered, I love it! Happy new year!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We had a big adventure today. So much was closed today but the forest was open! We went up to the Mogollon Rim (nearly 8000ft elevation) to find snow! (we found fog too)
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can’t take credit for this snowman. He is awesome and was built by a family that was leaving right as we arrived.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That family also smoothed out a sledding hill. How thoughtful! We were on the way.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It looked like a perfect spot, it even had a little jump.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There was just too much snow to play with. It was absolutely perfect packing snow today.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is the end for these snowsuits and boots. We just have to make them fit the rest of this season!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mean mommy makes the boys stop for photos.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Mean daddy shakes the snow out of the tree on their head (as directed by mean mommy)
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Brendan is eating snow.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

nom nom nom
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We started working on a fort but the elevation was getting to all of us, especially Brendan.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is Vista Point where you can see a 3000ft drop on to a wide expanse of northern AZ.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s gone!
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is what a naturally flocked tree looks like \ud83d\ude42
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Trevor has his stick that looks like a pick axe.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We drove in to The Nothing
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It consumed the forest too
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This plus fog could be someone’s really bad day
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Down a few thousand feet in elevation, all the snow melt is making the creeks run wild
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The boys love to play by the water, but it was running so fast. We stayed until the sun was setting.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had a few extra pictures on my camera from earlier in the week. Trevor has decided that he really loves climbing trees. \ud83d\ude00

We want to wish Malcolm a very happy first birthday! (26th) And Kieran a super 4th birthday! (today) I hope they are enjoying their cross country trip!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
