Few pictures from today.  Love these three!

Dog Bears

Tucker Bear is 5 years old today!

And Kod Bear just happened to be around since I was bribing Tucker with treats.

Kody's blanket!

Kody loves her new blanket! She's not even sad it took 2+ years for her to finally get her very own baby blanket :)

A quick pic of Kody snuggled up. She sends her thanks!

Left over from the "epic" storm

It was so nice out Sunday! Sunny and warm - "warm" is relative we've decided. I used to freeze my tootsies off in 50 degrees but now 50 seems pretty darn nice! (although this doesn't mean we've decided to move back to MN :) Gilbert is the place to live... hint hint)

Blue skies, green Ponderosa pines, and white snow. Very pretty! I tried to get a some pics to show you how much snow we really got!

Our street (notice the garbage can and the snow higher than the can)

Our neighbors huge SUV in their driveway... taken for reference of how high the snow in their yard is

Me and Kody inbetween the huge piles of snow

Another one of our street

Kody and Joe walking - the snow was almost up to Joe's hip

And clearly way higher than Kody - even with her tail held high!

Kody is having a relationship with the squirrel that lives in the tree next door. She sits outside and watches this squirrel for hours at a time. See the squirrel in the tree on the left? It sits in the same spot and stares at Kody for just as long. Too funny!

Flip!

Kody chasing snow balls in our front yard:

Snow! (what else!)

More and more snow! Busted out the Nikon for a few quick pictures from the back door. It's still coming down pretty good! I'm ready for it to stop so I can go out to the walking trail and get some pictures back there. Until then here's the latest on our winter wonderland

Tucker & Kody love snow!

These dogs love snow more than I ever thought possible! We woke up this morning to another 2ish feet of snow on the ground....in less than 12 hours. And it's still snowing pretty hard.

The whole neighborhood was out snow blowing around 10 - even though the snow is still coming down!

I met another neighbor! She has an 8 week old yellow lab puppy named Lilly (lady's name was Lynn and she works at the hospital). Another plus to Flagstaff are the really friendly neighbors! I've met more neighbors in the month we've been here than I did in over a year in Gilbert. The guy across the street helped me break up the ice and lent me his ice chopper, the guy next door, Joe, snowblows our part of the sidewalk and is super friendly, and the lady across the street, Lynn, with her puppy Lilly, said she might have to do play dates with our dogs plus her house backs up to the area where we let them run, then the kid next door came over and helped us get Joe's car unstuck. Very nice people in this neighborhood!

It's hard work running around in snow that is taller than you are!

The Trail

There is a great walking trail in our neighborhood with lots of open space for Kody to run. The girl that loved to swim and sun herself in 110 degree weather also loves the snow. She doesn't care what the temp is as long as fun is involved! The past couple days its been 50 and sunny and perfect for walking and throwing snowballs to Kody.

Turns out this girl loves to chase snowballs as much as Tucker does. Ohh the anticipation!

Look closely by the little tree in the middle... see that white ball of fury and the snow flying all around? That's Koder!

Coming back for more!

Tucker

Playing around with the Nikon!

So much fun! Spent my entire day off playing around with this camera. Addicting!











what Kody loves to do most, chase birds!!!











And some flowers in our yard
