Still snowing



Well, we are still getting lots of snow.  We seem to be in a pattern of a big snow storm, then a few days of warm weather, then freezing cold, then more snow.  These pictures are from a few days after a big storm.

D and K are standing in a snow drift at the church.  It was about 8 feet tall.  There was one way taller and way bigger, but at the same time I went to take the pics, a big tractor and 2 dump trucks came and took the snow away. They started taking snow away at 9:00 am, and didn't stop until 7:00 p.m.. (if that is any indication of the amount of snow)


D and K are in our driveway here.  We ran out of room to put all the snow.  Kent wrenched his back, so snow removal was my job.  Can you see how good I did : ).



Here K is standing at the church, the path on the sidewalk gives you an idea of the depth of snow.  When K stood right next to the snow it came up to her neck.

Because we have so much snow with warm and then freezing temps, there are lots of impressive icicles.  This is a picture of the Tabernacle.  I hope you can see all the beautiful icicles.  
The kids like the snow, but get antsy in the house pretty quick.  Because the weather has been so severe and sudden, we are nervous to go too far.

The snow looks so pretty I miss it Today I took Madison to the park the high today was 74 but it was windy. Madison was holding her arms shivering saying mom it's so cold! The poor kid has no idea she will be in for the shock of her life next winter when we go home.

Keep singing until the end of the song

Since my last post we lost 2 more precious babies.  On September 30, 2016 we lost our beautiful baby girl Felicity at 5 months.  Almost a year later, we found out we were expecting agin.  Sadly on Dec.1, 2017 we lost our little boy, Elijah.  I need to write their stories, but the feelings and emotions are still very raw and difficult.  While I hope to share them someday, today is not that day. Today is December 21, just a few more days until Christmas.  I LOVE Christmas.  The lights, smells, delicious food, family and friends, and especially the music.  I love to sing Christmas songs and look forward to it every year.  But this year it was hard to sing the songs I love so much.  This year singing about the miraculous birth brought sadness and even anger.  I have struggled to feel the Christmas Spirit. I imagine it is difficult to experience any loss during the Christmas season.  A holiday that focuses so much on family, fri...

Disneyland and California

Wow, what a fun adventure we had. It was a perfect vacation. Everything was fantastic, and we had a blast. Here is a quick little run down. (the pics are not in order, sorry). Here is the mandatory picture of the kids in front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle. Just a cute picture of K up in a tree house on pirate island (formerly Tom Sawyer's island) One of the biggest highlights of the trip was D being chosen to participate in Jedi training camp. He was so excited he was actually shaking. It was AWESOME. He got to learn some Jedi moves from a Jedi master, and then he got to fight Darth Vader. It was really fun, he is still talking about it. Here we are on one of the Bug's Life rides in California Adventures. The highlight for K was seeing and talking to real princesses. She was nervous at first, but quickly warmed up. She was so cute and sweet, it almost made me cry (the 2 hr. wait in line cured me of any tears). She kept telling us how Belle had a dress "all the...

The joy of family pictures

Why is it so hard to get a good family picture.  I would be happy if everyone just looked at the camera.  Here are our latest pics. This was our best family picture.  As you will see, K did not want to cooperate.     Isn't that fun.  All the crying and the whining, and that was just Kent.   The kids and the dog took some cute pictures.   Kent and I did okay.  Together we were a mess.  By the way, this is the picture I ended up using to represent our family.  It seemed the most fitting.   Someday, (sigh) someday we will have a great family picture.
