For Kaylee

Ok, so I know blogging isn't one of my talents these days....I will try and do better....especially when I have a little prompting from Kaylee dear!! Thanks! Tanner was so excited to have Kev come on his field trip to WSU on St. Patricks Day!!His school is a NO excuses school, and they are stressing "Everyone goes to college"....so it was a great day for his 4th grade class to be able to go! He trys to be fair and says 'Mom, you can come on the next one k?" works for me!! And...Miss Jaycee went on her 1st trip, flying all by herself this morning! She was a little nervous, and the lady at the check-in could tell and issued me a free pass to escort her to her gate, which worked out well! She called me every few minutes till she boarded the plane, then called when she landed in San Francisco, and when The Miller's met her at baggage claim. So All went well!! She's a very responsible daughter!! She's going to have a ball!!

So we decided to go on an overnighter in the motorhome up to Stampede Pass to snowmobile last weekend.....Kev checked the weather, and the passes were totally dry. We headed up at 6 pm.....Right before we reached the top of Snoqualmie Pass it started snowing like CRAZY!!! We watched I-90 go from 4 lanes to being totally shut down!!! Cars started sliding and spinning out and stopping in front of us, so we had no choice but to stop! Being on an incline...we also got stuck and our wheels were spinning!! Kevin almost jack knifed our motorhome and enclosed trailer!! (notice the photo above and our trailer totally sticking out!) We came within about a foot of running into a semi, but luckily we stopped sliding in time. Kevin stopped and put chains on...which by the way were NOT required. After we realized we weren't going anywhere...because of all the spinouts in front and beside us, Tan and I decided to go out and play in the snow. We were parked on I-90 for over an hour, Kevin helped cars get unstuck and after 2 snowplows came by, we braved the roads once again! Once he started going he didn't stop, and we arrived 4 1/2 hours later! Prayers being said all along the way!!! We can usually get to Stampede in 90 minutes!! I've NEVER seen such giant snowflakes in my life!! It snowed about 4 inches in the time we were parked on I-90....crazy stuff!! Once Kevin was relaxed...he peeks his head in the motorhome and said "I can't believe you're not taking pictures of this stuff" As I snapped a picture of him...ha ha! When we finally started moving again, Tanner said.."well that was quite an experience that I hope to NEVER have again!!" So that gave us a good teaching moment about ALWAYS being prepared....being a good scout....good times!!

I LOVE spending time with Kev....I remember thinking when he proposed to me thinking....WOW, lucky me.., to spend the rest of my life with this spontaneous wonderful Man!!

Jaycee spent the night with a friend, so it was just the 3 of us this trip! When we finally got to Stampede at midnight...we just had to take a night ride....and SOOO glad we did....riding in over a foot of FRESH POWDER is like heaven on earth!!!

Tanner loves this white stuff as much as we do!! Lots of memories made in the snow!!
