I Triple Dog Dare You!

Noah's Own CHRISTMAS STORY!
For those of you who don't know what this is, back in the early 80's a show came out called a Christmas Story, where among many other funny things a kid gets "triple dog dared" to put his tongue on a flag pole. He does it, of course he gets stuck and the fire department has to come and rescue him. Well, Noah didn't need that, just his highly skilled father, who knew how to pour water on it. The only problem was, we were no where around when he actually did this. And when we finally found him, John ran and got the camera(and water). Poor kid! By-the-way, nobody dared him to do this, my guess is he just wanted to eat the ice.
Josie was a little embarrassed and shocked by the whole experience!
So, if you haven't heard, Spokane has been invaded by snow! We are now on our second snow day from school! We hit records for Spokane, 19 1/2 inches in 24 hours, and 23 1/2 inches in 36 hours. And that was in the Valley, here on the Hill it feels like a lot more! Yep, that is Noah in up to his waist.
And my little snow angel.
And my snow beastie. This reminds me of another part of The Christmas Story, where a kids mom dresses him up so much that he can't put his arms down to his side(youtube has it). He did pretty well in the snow, until he got in his shoes and then he was pretty much done.
All my kids love to get in a hot bath after...in their swim suits. The following pics are just to show you examples of the deep snow...and good times had in it.
John didn't think this was such good-times after the third time of shoveling it.
Deeken gives the day a thumbs up! Yep, pretty cute!

Now that is some snow! We had the whole week off of school for like 4-5 inches. Icy though. LOVE that Noah got his tongue stuck and that John got the camera to capture the moment. Love the Christmas Story. Noah does look in some pain though. :(

I can only imagine that Noah was hysterical. But it really is funny! He will laugh at it some day. And love the picture of Josie!

I couldn't help but laugh at what Noah did. I bet they are having fun in the snow. I don't think I would but as long as they do that's what matters, right???!!!
We are plainly cold and mean cold. We haven't seen the sun in a couple of weeks and I need him soooo bad. Enjoy the snow and the kids at home. Love, Haydee.

That picture of Noah is the best ever! I was showing Jeff at how bad it looked like it hurt and he just said "yeah, haven't you ever done that before?"...Uh no. Of course Jeff did and it wasn't when he was little. He says it hurts pretty darn bad. Poor Noah!

I guess that we all learn the hard way.
Maybe you ought to rethink coming to Utah.
You have a lot more snow there and I am sure that
it would be much more fun.
Just kidding.
Love Dad
