February 2014 happenings

We got some snow!
And another storm!
And some more!


Girls like playing games. The cards are a bit big for little hands...so easy pickings when it comes to Go Fish!

First snowmobile ride for both of them! Some of "The Chop Shop" boys fixed up Rodney's sled for him. After school he has a few boys that stay after and work on their own projects. Has to kick them out so he can come home. "The Chop Shop" is what they call the school shop now.






Daddy and his girls
Playin':


Nicole's first ponytail! Didn't stay in too long :)


One of "The Chop Shop" boys had a Kitty Cat sled he gave Rodney for the girls. They "might" need to be a bit older to handle it. :) Sure had fun, though, getting rides from Daddy!

Sunday morning:
sittin' like such nice little ladies they are

don't think the ponytail made it through meeting :)

Hannah likes lots of barrettes some days


February email:

Howdy-
February came and it turned cold and snowy! Didn't think this valley knew how to snow, but this month we've had some off and on. Don't remember what day it was, towards the beginning of the month, but that morning when Rodney got up it was -40. Luckily that didn't last too long, but have had a couple cold snaps this past month. Rodney took a trip to Melstone for the mechanics contest on the 3rd. He enjoyed spending the day with Anne. This weekend he went to Cascade and Conrad. Ruby Valley also hosted the district sales competition this past month. Rodney's team placed 3rd, so they're headed to state for that. State FFA, in Great Falls this year, is the end of March so the year is winding down. Hannah turned 4 on the 5th. She was super excited it was finally her birthday. She got a little kid guitar that she likes to hide from Nicole so she won't have to share it. Only gets it out when Nicole's sleeping. Nicole has switched to a big girl bed, toddler sized. At first she was excited about it, but now she sometimes indicates she'd rather be back in the crib.The girls are looking forward to having baby calves. Which should be happening sometime soon. Except it would be nice if they waited until it warmed back up again. Had a weekend in Kalispell, shearing time again. The girls helped to stomp the wool down into the bag. Hannah remembered it from last year, but Nicole wasn't too sure what to think of it. She was really checking Rodney and the sheep out. She liked to open the door so they could go back outside.
'Til next time-
Rodney, Amanda, Hannah & Nicole
