The Cowboy Snowman Guy

Max desperately wanted Jeff to help him build a giant snowman and he waited and waited for Jeff to finish his work so they could do it. It was very cute to watch my snowman expert of a husband teach my silly monkey boy the finer points of snowman building.

This is Jeff demonstrating the proper rolling technique to build base and torso or as Max calls them the butt and the tummy parts.

This is Max trying to roll the head. He did well for a little bit but then it fell apart. Not bad for a boy with 1/2 south Louisiana DNA!

Zakky of course had to get in on the action. Just checking things over to make sure it was done right!


A finished product!! No Desert Snowman is complete without a cowboy hat, right?!?!



About 3 hours after they were finished it started warming up. First his head melted and fell off and then his midsection met the same fate. I think his butt is thick enough to last till morning though. Max checked on him throughout the day to see how he was doing and kept singing "Once There was a Snowman" song. Yes it's the circle of life. He was a good friend and a good memory!

That's a mighty fine cowboy snowman. Y'all have gotten more snow than Ogden has so far this year and we're supposed to get snow. I just hope it snows before Christmas so it's a winter wonderland. Although it's been nice to not have snow to deal with.

I love your cute pictures! I loved the snow too, so did the kids.
