Wintertime!

We're back just to one again!  I feel settled in now with one kid. 

The kids had a day off in January and went out to Ely. Lee's brother Carl went too and treated them to goodies at Economy Drug and pizza for dinner!  Best uncle! (Cal stayed at BYU-I)




Carl did TimTam slams too!  So fun. 

Lee installed a new light in this bedroom. 

Elden making....pasta salad?

Excited to go through this book!

I went to a youth activity and saw Amelia!  Sent this to Shanna. 

Back at BYU!

Cal at the Idaho Temple with friends!

Renters left a lot of stuff, haha. 

Haley shared this with me. Grandma Robertson showed this to Haley from one of her cookbooks. Too funny. 

Getting Valentine packages ready!  Their Christmas college packages took forever to arrive, so I wanted to get these sent to my college kids sooner than later. 

Another great temple morning. 

Elden playing pingpong with pops. 

Shanna and her boyfriend Nate! They are officially dating. 

Lee and I helped out at a track meet. 

Lee smoothed out the sand for triple jump. 

And then someone changed the photo with AI. Haha. 

So excited to Elden throw again! 



A throwback that Katherine sent me. The Sunday night before Clark left for Arizona. 

Temple trip with Elden and Liam. 


A big BYU game against University of Utah! Sheldon even saw the kids on tv. Super fun!


Shanna and Haley with Nate next to Shanna. 





Lee and Elden enjoyed the game too. Dinner first!


I was hoping for a good snow storm and we got one!  It snowed...but then it turned into icy snow and created a huge mess. Church was canceled and so was the rest of the week of school. 


Home church with everyone!

Elden's baking magic. 

I asked Elden to clear off the trampoline. The snow on top was quite hard and crusty...and it's heavy.

Classic roast for dinner. Yum. 


Shoveling was so hard!  Before the storm hit, Lee contacted a company that does yard work and snow removal. He asked if they could clear the parking lot at the office. They weren't sure if they could get to it. But they did. YAY! That parking lot is sooo big. Okay, it's not that big. But when shoveling snow with a couple inches of hard pack snow on top...not fun. We shoveled some on Sunday at the office, but gave up. 

Early Monday morning we did out driveway. I'm glad we got it done right away. The rest of the days were very cold and sunny. So the snow didn't melt but sort of did....a harder ice top was created. People who waited to shovel had a hard time. They even got out axes and hammers to break up the snow. 

You can see the beginnings of the packed snow already.

Nice Clark!!!

Waffles for breakfast. It's so nice having snow days!


Elden wearing his fuzzy socks he got from Brittany at seminary. 

Elden had Liam and Brennon come over one afternoon to go sledding and then they made pizzas. You just slid right on top of the snow. See the lack of marks in the snow? I guess some people were injured pretty bad with sledding on the hard snow. It was so fast!



Love getting photos from the college life people!

With school closed again, we did a temple trip with our friends that also had a snow day!

Walking in the cemetary. Notice...no footprints. It's that hard!

Haha, one of my nephews filled this out. Too funny.

We had another snow day so we met up with the Shepherds again. We had lunch at their house then went to the church to visit and play pickleball. 

Game time!

Treats from Moxie's. 

See all the ice chunks?? It's been quite the mess!
