Tahoe Snow Trip

Our friend Mike set up a snow boarding trip to Tahoe with a group of about 10 people, 6 of us from Savannah. 

We spent the time off the slopes playing cards, sitting in the hot tub and watching the Olympics. 

The slopes were beautiful and the views of the lake with snow covered grounds all around were amazing.

Katie, Janelle and Brent just hitting Heavenly for the day.

Not bad to look at as you board down the hill.

Since we were only an hour and 45 min away from Fallon I got to spend a day  there and visiting with the family. 

We didn’t take pictures until the end of the day, but I was able to see Uncle Dave’s amazing hand tool shop he built in an extra bedroom of his house, his adorable puppy that reminds me A LOT of Daisy even though she is a different color.  Also Trevor (who is almost as tall as me!) played some guitar and we spent a lot of time visiting talking over Kenzie’s college plans and life in general.  It was a great day for me. 

I also drove by the Mangini family house.  A Hawaiian couple is living there now and has about 300 plants/decorations out front to make it feel a little tropical for them. 

Winter Wonderland

We got a good inch probably last night, it didn’t snow anymore once we went to bed but the stuff that fell the evening before was till holding on. 

 

The snow couldn’t last once the Georgia sun broke through the clouds this morning.  It was a nice sunny day in the end, but it was fun to have snow to wake up to. 

Snow Day!!!

We decide to let the puppies out once it started snowing because we are not sure it will be there in the morning. 

Here is a video of Bo and Daisy in the snow. 

 

Here is the video of when we first let Daisy out without Bo and Murphy (who is visiting for the weekend). 

 

Big surprise she was scared of going out in the snow.  She jumped up on the hose reel cover to keep up away from the snow.  She doesn’t normally go up here.

And here is Austin playing in the snow. 

Funny story; Austin told me that they let school’s out 2 hours early today because there was snow in the forecast for this evening and they wanted to make sure everyone got home in time before it started snowing. 

Young Pup Again

Bo buddy has been suffering from a joint problem that he has had his entire life.  Lately it has been keeping him from moving around.  He spends the day in the yard with Daisy, comes in, has dinner and literally won’t move again all night. 

We took him to the vet and while we were already giving him the best medicine to help his joints, he also gave us a pain killer for the buddy to start taking. 

So after 2 weeks of getting drugged up, Bo is back to his young self. 

Here are some pictures of him wrestling Daisy this afternoon.

And on a different note…It is SNOWING!  Yes, it is snowing is southern Georgia.  Crazy, most the operators who lived here their whole life have one memory of snow as a child so it happens every 20 years or so, but still it’s crazy.  It just started in our area but there is suppose to be an accumulation of a couple inches tonight.  If that actually happens there will be some good picture of Daisy in the snow for the first and probably only time. 

Last year in February we were wearing our shorts already.  This has been an extremely long and cold winter, and we are ready for it to be over, but we’ll take a chance to see snow for one more cold day.

Update Post

We haven’t posted much this month so to keep everyone up to date on our activities here you go. 

We have celebrated a lot of birthdays, done a lot of bowling, beat everything possible on Super Mario Brothers for Wii, played hours of Rock Band and had our friends Erica, Darren and Eli come visit. 

Austin has been working a lot lately as well, he works one of the weekend days each weekend, but today is the end of that for a while.  Enjoy the random pictures from the month below.   

Here is the group at the Rocks on the River Restaurant for Allison’s Birthday. 

Us at Avia Restaurant for where we had dinner for Al’s birthday. 

 

Here’s are some pictures of our friend Craig’s b-day celebration at Longhorn’s Steakhouse.

  

 

 

I’m not sure what is with this new pose that Austin pulls in every picture lately.  Here’s him with Libby.

Here he is with Chris, the right eye is closed again.

And below in the picture with Brent at his birthday he is doing the same thing.  Interesting new pattern…

 

The Local bowling alley is our normal Sunday afternoon hang out.  Austin even took videos of everyone bowling and then played them back to help with the form.  I’m sure Kirby would be proud…we have our own bowling shoes, no bowling balls or gloves yet though.
