Look What We Woke Up To Today!!

We woke up to snow!!! Last night Tom came in and said it was snowing. Katie thought it was Christmas when she came into our room. So of course the kids had to go out and see first hand the snow in their pj's. I accompanied them in my robe and ran into my neighbor.

We went to church at 9am and when we came out at noon the snow was all gone. Katie was so excited about the snow and was so disappointed when it was all gone. So we took a drive up into the mountains about 20 minutes away and found the perfect place with lots of snow. The kids loved the snow! Cassie, our dog, found it to be rather fun as well. Toward the end Cassie had little blobs of snow all over her fur. She spent the rest of the time in the car warming up.

As we were playing we saw Katie running across the snow and yelling "I am so grateful for snow!" It was so funny!!







Kellen then decided that it would be fun to throw his glove into the stream. Tommy had to get on a rock in the stream and the fish the glove out from under a little bridge with a long stick. Now to think of it it would have made for a really great picture. What kind of photographer am I missing out on a great moment. I was more worried about retrieving the only glove the Kellen owns.







When we were driving home we saw the new Draper Temple. It was so pretty! The houses all around it were huge! In fact, the picture below shows a picture of a 23,000 sq foot mansion. In fact, if you are in the market for a giantic house it is in foreclosure! So have at it!





Last but not least, this weekend we also celebrated Kellen's 2nd birthday! Snow and a birthday all in one weekend what could be better:). Kellen actually gave me an interesting present on his birthday by pooping all over his room carpet all while the Direct TV guy was here. I guess Kellen is just a typical two year old little boy. He is all over the place and is extremely busy. We love our little guy and hope he will continue to grow and flourish with such vigor!!
