Here is a picture of Jenna's Latin Medley team from the Gem State Classic competition held last evening. Idaho Ballroom Academy did two show numbers and two medleys.
Isaac took advantage of a brief break during an intermission at Jenna's Ballroom Dance competition. There were dance teams from Idaho, Utah, and Wyoming. Isaac got some pretty good cheers and has some good dance moves, and there wasn't even any music playing!
Here we are at our house and I must say that it has been a crazy and long winter. I will be glad when all the snow is melted, but I will miss the excitement of another big storm coming.
I don't have any current photos to post, so I looked through some old ones. I know who all the kids are in this picture, but I want to see who else can figure it out.
Emrie and Isaac little video clip. Isaac loves hugging Emrie, sometimes he squeezes a bit tight. I think she is going to have a pretty good bodyguard for her growing up years!
One of the advantages of a having a metal roof is the snow and ice will melt and slide off more quickly. That is usually a good thing, especially on years when we have lots of snow, like this year. For the winter of 2008, we have received more snowfall than any year since 1987. We have also had alternating periods of extreme cold (-20) and heavy snow fall. This has lead to up nearly 3 feet of snow on the roof and a large layer of ice on the bottom. Yesterday afternoon the snow and ice literally avalanched off, including several chunks of ice that weighed 50 to 70 pounds. It is a good thing it happened on Sunday and not on a week day when an unsuspecting mailman was on our front step. Here are a couple of pictures, and this wasn't even the biggest piece of ice!
