Gangsta Flakes

Kind of crazy, it snowed today! I thought I moved south, but apparently not far enough!! So enjoy our hopefully short lived snow adventures...Palm tree anyone? Me and Zach in our jackets...not prepared for this weather!

It looks like I'm either freezing my butt off or I'm about to pee my pants...

Just to give you an idea of how much snow we have so far...(for any of you that don't know, this is a ton for St. George considering it's not suppose to snow here)

Marley, Wally & Odie loved playing in the snow!

Gingerbread House

Zach totally suprised me today with something I've been wanting...A Gingerbread House Kit! (I don't have time to do it any other way, I needed the kit) Here's the beginning stage of my house, I was kind of suprised that it was actually standing at this point. Here's the finished product!

I had to take pictures really quick after finishing, Zach is already trying to eat it!

Two males sought in armed robbery

So this is the 2nd armed robbery in the last six months right next door to our store...scary!! Here's the story:

ST. GEORGE - St. George Police on Sunday were seeking two Hispanic males in connection with the armed robbery of an Hispanic market at 439 N. Bluff St. around 7:30 p.m.

Sgt. Gilman of the police department said the two men entered the market with a gun and demanded money. The robbery victims refused to give them the money and were tied up with duct tape. The robbers took the money from the store and fled. One of the victims managed to get loose from the duct tape and looked out in time to see an older, blue, 2-door sedan pulling away. Gilman said it's not certain that the car contained the robbers but it is being sought by police.
The only description of the men are that they are Hispanic and one was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. The weapon was described by the victims only as a "big gun." Gilman said the suspects are considered armed and dangerous. The investigation is continuing.
