Snow Day

We have been anticipating a "major" snowstorm for a couple of days now. Yesterday it snowed off and on all day but never stuck. This morning we woke up to a snow covered yard. Initally the schools were just two hour late opening but then an hour later we got the call for an official snow day. So with that a very lazy morning and then soon everyone wanted out in the snow to play. It has mostly melted now but they had fun for about an hour before they were too cold and wet. Now after such a weird morning trying to get them to do their jobs has been next to impossible. I guess all the "conflict" going on right now is worth it for the beautiful snowy morning!

California trip

I just got back from visiting family in California this week. I had a great time and got to see all my brothers and sisters who live down there.


While there my mom and John and sister Kelly went to San Diego to see the visitor center for the Mormon Battalion. Here they are panning for gold. I think they have done such a fabulous job at telling the story and keeping you interested in it. It is very interactive.

We got together one of the days for a barbecue at my mom's house. Everyone is doing so good right now and it was just fun to sit around and talk and visit with each other. I just had a great time relaxing and going to antique stores and hanging out with my sister Melissa quite a bit. I am so excited for her visit up here next month. I am glad to be back home because I do miss my kiddos when I leave but I do treasure the times I get to take off for a long visit down south!

Valentines Day

Happy Valentines to all my family and friends! I wish you a day filled with love and joy!
