Snow Daze

We knew a storm was coming. Usually when they really talk it up on the TV we only get a couple of inches. Everyone prepares for the worst and it fizzles out before it gets to us. Well last night they were predicting about 1-2 inches of snow and we woke up to about 6 inches and still falling.

The girls and I went out and shoveled snow and got into a big snowball fight. Poor C is sick and Chris was getting ready for church. He has a lesson to teach so I'm the lucky one who gets to stay with the kids. It is nice outside. So many times it snows here and the wind is so awful you can't go out and enjoy it. Today however the temp was good about 33 degrees and no wind. The snow was also good very light but packed well for good snowballs. Perfect conditions for a great day.

That is awesome! We woke up to fog! So exciting! I can't help but secretly wish that we get a fog delay tomorrow! Happy Sunday!

Wow... your pictures make me cold just looking at them! So, that is what people mean by a "white Christmas." All this time, I thought the "white" refered to fog! =)

You totally made me laugh... I know, I am a curb hitting freak of nature.

We got about 6 inches too but it is all gone now. We are expecting more though in just a day or two.

I saw the neatest thing for you guys for christmas. It looks like a nerf ball gun but it makes snowballs and launches them. Wouldn't that be hours of fun.

Today we went to our new ward.  We still have one more week in our current ward but we just wanted to check it out, get our faces known, and possibly drum up some help to unload a moving truck in a couple weeks. Can I just say it was amazing!  We've been to this ward before when Chris was on the High Council so there were a few familiar faces.  That wasn't the amazing part... For the last 2 1/2 years Chris has struggled going to church.  The first year was due to the fact that he was in the hospital and fighting for his life and was unable to physically attend.  Frankly the whole family struggled that year and we stayed home for months because it was too painful to go.  The last year and a half Chris has struggled due to anxiety and panic about church.  He still has a testimony and loves the Gospel, he helps get the kids ready for church and attends when he can but for the most part I'm a single mom when it comes to church attendance.  He cann...

34 Reasons Why I Love You

Today is Chris Birthday! I'm awful about making plans and doing things for him so this year I have tried my best to be better. We are having a small party if you will , with some friends tonight and having his favorite apple cake with caramel topping. I also wanted to give him a little extra and thought I needed to publicly share some of the reasons why I love him. I'm not big on PDA , public displays of affection not the little handheld computer he carries around. So this is very different for me. 34 Reason Why I love You... 34. You like the same TV shows I do 33. If you don’t like the TV show you watch it anyway 32. You are a great Dad 31. You take care of me when I’m sick (even though I’d rather disappear when you are sick) 30. You are very tidy (OK I’m not) 29. You love my cooking 28. If you don’t love my cooking you are kind about it 27. You can cook 26. You support me in my calling no matter how many nights I’m gone, and it's a lot. 25. You encourage me to go t...

Sometimes life changes and we are all trying to catch up

From day one I could tell there was something different about L...he is my 4th child and right from the start I could tell.  I didn't know I could tell.  I knew he was different from my other kids but I didn't have a clue as to why, or what our future would bring. L was my most sweet baby.  All babies are sweet you say, all babies are different.  I know all babies are sweet but I mean this baby was SWEET.  He slept through the night almost from day one, to a mom 6 hours is like an eternity so I'm calling it through the night.  He rarely cried.  When he did and all the normal boxes were checked, feeding, changing, hot/cold, he just wanted to be left alone.  He would lay for hours on the floor on a blanket and watch life happen.  Then he would just fall asleep and take a nap and it was wonderful.  Being a mom of many kiddos it was like this baby was sent to me on purpose to make it easy.  Usually I have a baby and think "I'm not eve...
