Ben takes his turn....
They had fun building snow forts too.
Here is our house almost buried in the abunance of the fluffy white stuff.
Nate and Ben dig out our trailer so that we can pick up a snow blower. 
Emily and Benjamin got cross country skis for their birthdays. They are catching on so quickly and are fun to have along on my favorite way to "take walks" in the winter.
Nate figured out a way to pull Deven behind in the sled so that we can all go out together. It works great. I pulled Deven today while Ben and I skied. He tried hills for the first time and did great!
Emily, Ben, and Deven scale the banks on the side of our driveway. Ah, the driveway. I don't know what I'll do when the snow starts to melt. Plowing, shoveling, plowing, shoveling, and plowing and shoveling have become my purposes in life. P.S. Today, the 11th of February is so sunny and warm! We are all in t-shirts and enjoying the feel of the sun on our skin. I can't believe when I look at our weather station that it says it's only 39 degrees. To me it feels like spring! In Utah it can snow in June, so I can't count on this being the warming trend, but I'll enjoy the variety.

What fun to see and read about your doins! How regularly do you plan on updating (when you're not shovelling and plowing!)?
How cold! Err... cool! Sorry, all that snow had me confused for a second. I will enjoy keeping up with how your gang is doing by checking back in on the blog. It is amazing to see Ben and Emily on those skis, as it wasn't too long ago I was impressed by their ability to stand on two feet.
Nice to see your blog!
Wow, that snow is pretty amazing. My boys are such wimps when it comes to cold . . . Quartz tells me he has frostbite after two minutes . . . :-)
Being a Blaine looks like a lot of fun!
Hurray!!
I love to spy on other people's families, especially ones that have SOOOOO much fun.
Holy moly that's A LOT OF SNOW!!! What a great time...skiing out your back door. You guys have found paradise!
Yeah I'm glad you have joined the crowd. It's so fun! Good luck with the snow :)
I sure don't envy your snow banks but I envy your sunshine! Looks like lots of fun. Hope to see you guys soon!
It looks like you're all having a blast in the snow! We've had a few snow days, but nothing like what you've got! I, myself, am ready for spring!
OK, I promised myself that I would not bug you to update...
But it has been FOREVER!!!
I need more, even if it is a grocery list or phone bill...
