Is It Really Spring?

Last week, actually on the second day of spring, this is what we awoke to....

seven inches of heavy, wet snow that brought trees and branches down all over town!

It was a beautiful sight and the kids enjoyed two snow days at home, but where is Spring already?

It's Snowing!

It's cold, cold, cold! But the kids are having fun. They finally went to school today, after having snow days Monday and Tuesday. Most likely they will be out on Thursday and Friday also. Talk about a long Christmas Break!

Youth Snow Trip

The boys and mom had fun on the youth snow trip. It was a beautiful day at Hoodoo. We spent the day tubing (even mom went a few times), sledding, snowball fighting, and snowman building. The slopes got a lot faster as the day went on. It was great fun!

We woke up this morning to a blanket of snow! It was beautiful outside (and warm and toasty inside!) We got ready for church and had fun slipping and sliding on the way there. Of course, Dad likes to add to the slipping and sliding! The bishopric decided to only have Sacrament meeting. As soon as we got home, the kids were digging through the snow clothes and heading outside. We are trying to have a "reverent" snow day, which has included a "reverent" snowball fight in the church parking lot with the Ennis family. Poor Sister Ennis, she got nailed in the back of the head by Ammon. She got him back, though, by coming into the van and putting snow down his neck!
