Happy birthday Emma and Wyatt

 WE celebrated all three birthdays on Sunday evening with presents and cake, but they enjoyed their pancakes on their actual birthday.  Do they look tired?!  That's because pancakes were at 6:15, before they left for seminary!!  Happy birthday you two.  Seventeen!!

And More Snow

 As I was leaving my Stake play rehearsal, I got a facetime call from Amy.  "Some right away...it's snowing!!"  Oh my gosh...real snow at Amy's house.  I ran home, packed up some stuff, and headed off.  She called a little later and said she was worried about me driving into the neighborhood.  Many people had reported slick roads and lots of slipping and sliding.  so, I parked at the McDonalds and Wyatt came and got me in the truck with four wheel drive.  This was out way into the neighborhood.






I mean, they have had snow before...like a flake or two, always melting as soon as it hit the ground.  This was real snow...like four inches.  I know, this is nothing like we had in Utah this last week, but this is Rialto!! So much fun.

So, we did all the things you do in a surprise snow storm...snow angels, a snow family complete with a pet dog, and sledding.

Snow

 It was so beautiful, it deserved it's own post!!




Latter in the day, Todd shoveled a pathway for the chickens to be able to get to their water.  It was so funny watching them "run" down the path.


And then, still later, it started to snow again...so beautiful!!











Utah--Just Because!!

Tayson asked me why I came to Utah...and my response was "Just because!!"  Usually when I go up, it's for specific reason, dance recital, family event, mission farewell and so on.  This time, it was just because I wanted to check in with them...no plans, no motives.
so it was a pretty laidback trip
I enjoyed a couple of river trail walks...

...and the beautiful snow in the mountains.


I was able to watch Tayson play basketball.

...and make some cookies for all to enjoy.

But, the best part was waking up to snow...
There was not street!!  Just snow from the steps of our house all the way to the steps of the neighbors. So cool!!!  Or should I say, so COLD!!!
Yeh, no walk today!!!

Powder Puff Game

Because Wyatt is in ASB, he got to participate in the powderpuff game as a cheerleader. It was so much fun to watch him lead cheers and just have a blast.  It was also bitter sweet because just a year ago I watched Carson leading the same cheers and having just as much fun.
