Frosty the Snowman

With this much snow, you can build a huge snowman. Someone built this snowman just around the corner from us on the main road. He's great!
His mouth is half of a small dirtbike tire. Another tire was used to make the brim of his hat. Very cool. I think he's the best snowman I have ever seen.

Winter Wonderland!

We had some major snow over past week. After two of the snow falls, it took 1 1/2 hours each time to clear the driveway.
On Boxing Day, we took our friends that moved here from Australia and went up to American Fork Canyon to go sledding. It was quite cold out, but the kids had a great time. Why don't kids feel the cold like adults do? The mountains were beautiful with the new snow...that came up to our knees or to the top of Emma's legs!
Here's a couple of more pictures...

School Christmas Programs!

I'm sure that Mitchell is pleased that this was his last Christmas performance. After this he will only have to do it if he wants to. I got quite a chuckle out of watching the 6th graders perform this year. The girls were not too bad, but you could tell that the boys were simply putting in their time. To fun!

Gingerbread Houses & Cone-heads!

Kelti and her friend, Brittany, made a great gingerbread house...from scratch. They entered it in the contest at their school. It took a long time, designing it, baking it, putting it together, and then decorating. Kelti spent over 3 hours one afternoon putting candy and frosting on it. She has developed quite the talent for creating/baking things. She wants to learn how to do cake decorating.




Our poor Bella hurt her eye some how...we have no idea how! As a result she has a hole in her cornea. The vet patched the eyeball and sewed her second eyelid closed to protect it. We will find out tomorrow if this was successful. If her eye did not heal, she will lose her eye. It is very sad, but we are hoping for the best. Bella is really not impressed with wearing the cone around her head. We have been entertained at her expense!

Life in Cameron's World

My nephew in California is 3 years old and quite a character. Today he shocked his mom and sister with a whitty response to his own question.
He asked his mom how do birds learn to fly. So naturally, my sister-in-law explained the process. To which he responded..."They wing it!"
Where do kids come up with these things?! Cute kid!

Temple Square Lights

Obviously, it has been a long time since I have been on my blog...life has been a bit crazy. It's that time of year! So I finally have a quiet moment this morning and thought that I would get on here.

On the Friday after Thanksgiving, Temple Square in Salt Lake, turns on the Christmas lights. We have been there to see the lights every year that we have lived here, but we have never been there for the big turn on. So with the Ubeda family here from Australia, we went down for the big event. It was a great time and the kids loved it.

The next generation of "Roo & Joey"!




Roo and Joey live on!
