Enjoy our newest attempt at family video production.

Filmed and produced by the Jetsons.

Grant was laying face down in the snow, not sure why but he stayed there for a long time. If you can hear the kids at the end of the video they scream with joy as they go down the last and steepest part of the hill.

Mommy got a good workout.

Love you guys.

Part Two, "The Conclusion"

This is part two in the video log of "Luke gets hip deep in the snow!"

In this video we see the conclusion of Luke and his mother getting stuck in the snow drift.

King of the Hill!

We had a blast in the Big Bird Blizzad of 08, especially Mom!

Luke had a little trouble in two wheel drive but mom came to the rescue!

Enjoy it, I know we did!

Big Bird Blizzard of 08!


We miss you at the Big Bird Blizzard of 08! Oh what fun, we spent most of Monday with the kids out playing in the Turkish delight. Along with half the city.
I'm amazed at how may people, young and old come out to play in the snow. We live near an open area they call a park, it has some trees and a few muddy trails but everyone and there brother come to it on days like this.
They were sledding down the few small hills the park has on anything they could find. Plastic bags, trash can lids, a cookie sheet from the oven... It was soon funny to watch grown men sliding down a hill in a foot of snow on a plastic grocery sack!
Jennifer, through her resourcefulness found a very large plastic banner near some trees and we clamed this as the Jetsons sled!! 4 could fit on at a time, others were staring with envy.
It is 10:18pm here right now and still I can hear the laughter of kids out sledding on the streets in front of our apartment. They love this stuff almost as much as I do.

A day of fun in the Turkish snows of Istanbul!
It's been snowing for two days here in the Big Bird and we took some time to enjoy it this afternoon. We had a snowball war and thankfully there were no casualities! :) Although I will be very sore in the morning.
This wasn't your sisters snowball war, it was an all out full contact snow in your face war!!
Thankfully the kids had pity on me and didn't hurt me to bad.
