On Monday Tom played golf in Hemet with the boys from the park. Tuesday morning we were awakened by sounds of rain. After sleeping in very late, Tom started figuring out why the ice maker and livingroom heater are not working.
About 2:00 we went to town and visited walmart then Home Depot. Still buying for the Mammoth bathroom remodel. We are expecting friends to visit in the next few days then Sat. or Sun. we are headed north to enjoy the amazing snow dump.
Waylon with his birthday cupcake. He wore it well. Actually he ate very calmly it was amazing and even more surprising it was the first sweet he had ever been given. Later he had a bit of a sugar high but not like most babies.
Opening presents was really fun. Wayon got a fantastic looking wood Harley motorcycle on rockers. Instead of a rocking horse, Tina supplied a Rocking motorcycle. I really messed up and didn't get any pictures but hopefully Doug will share the pictures he took.
The storm lasted long enough we had to be plowed several times.
Tom watched TV and read while sitting in big red.
Every time we drive near the Sierras I am amazed at the views. We are heading south on 395 Saturday for Waylon's birthday and we are looking forward to the scenery.
The phone booth above is located by Chair 13 and most years there is so much snow that I didn't realize it was not on the ground but raised. I keep thinking I will drive to Reds Meadow and take a picture in the summer.
Tom skiing down our favorite run off chair 12. We had a great day.
This picture was taken on the way to Chair 12 looking back at the main part of the mountain. Chair 3 and 23.
Looking towards the east. You can see that the snow is only on the mountain. 
Tom ordered his own birthday present. The gun is really an automatic BB gun that shoots small yellow plastic BBs. It looks scary but the only thing he could do with it was shoot holes in the snow on the balcony. He shot at the trees but the BBs just bounced off.
Bishop was beautiful but I didn't get any pictures. We went to The Mesa to drop off things from Jojoba and add to our mess in the garage. I finally got a picture of my favorite sign.
The vanity was carried upstairs ready to install in the bathroom. The new shower door & medicine cabinet have been ordered. I was really getting excited until Tom pointed out the flaw in the cabinet front. Can you find it?

The back yard finally has snow- Spa and Pool

His 62nd birthday isn't until the 13th but we had a great time with Stewart, Chris and Savannah. Pictured above is Tom, Stewart and Savannah
I am able to get pictures on line but I am only trying one picture at a time. It is sooo very slow and when I have tried to download several pictures at a time it just doesn't happen.
Tom's birthday is this month so Stewart and family came to celebrate his 62nd. Tom has been sick so it was a quiet visit while we watched it rain and snow. They left early Sunday morning because they had to drive through the storm and were unsure how the roads would be.
Totally innocent but he was headed for the wires behind the computer to his right and stopped looking like he had no plan to attack the wires when his mother called his name.
The dog is really interested in Waylon's shoe. I had a great day !
The Dogs are safe for now but soon he will be climbing this fence.
Jody Miller is parked next to us and she is taking pictures of me taking pictures.
If you look closely brother Dave is parked out there among the masses. There were less people here this year but still seemed like a lot to me. The WINs had about 190 people coming and going.
I am at Anna's house visiting Waylon and they have WiFi. I guess when I have a good connection I can get pictures on this Blog.
