the first snowfall

 

To say it snowed, is an understatement.  It snowed for two days and then the freezing temperatures stuck around afterward.  The cold didn't phase Myer, he was ready to help and he was excited to use his new snow shovel.  Our neighbors benefited from Myer's gusto to shovel everything.  You're welcome.

I know I'm lucky to have two cute boys to shovel my driveway and walkways.  We'll be covered this winter that's for sure!

saturday. oye saturday.

Our intention was Logan for a conference, but we ended up in Idaho.
4 hours later.
Then I confused USU's campus with Weber State's.
Only to be in the right place the first time.
Another hour.
I also have a cold.  Cold number 4.
Anna, my friend and co-traveler, is pregnant.
She also has a cold.
After the conference we left USU at 5:00.
Snow.
Counted 16 wrecks on the way home.
Our speed was a constant 35 mph.
Arrived home at 9:30.

If it weren't for the people we saw--friends, colleagues, and professors, I'm seriously doubting if that trip was worth it.

Oye.

after the snow settled

The one benefit of having all this snow, that just keeps coming, is it makes for one beautiful place to live.  Utah's been showing off with amazing views lately that I couldn't help but snap a few.  We live just beneath these mountains and I pass the temple every day to work.  It's breathtaking.  I'll keep dealing with the freezing temperatures and icy roads as long as I get this kind of amped-up scenery.  If I have to.

for now

A common site over here.

All 3 of us are sick.

Blame Myer, he started it

which he gave to me. And now Jake.

Odd how a family can bond over a box of kleenexes.

on the board again

After being pregnant with then Myer and then actually having Myer, I haven't been boarding for the past 2 years.  I was not going to miss out on another season so we hit up Snowbird (thank you phillips 66 for those 2 for 1's) and boarded with my brothers and brothers in laws last week.  

And thank you Utah for fresh new snow.  It was a gorgeous day.  This Utah girl is happy.

his side of the story

"Mom, it was this big..."

"...and it fell over there and made it all white."

at least I think that's what he was saying.

hi, snow.

We welcomed the first snowfall.

With a dance.

Glad you're here.

Stay awhile.
