The grass is always greener....in the Spring

Remember this? I barely do. I feel like I haven't seen anything green in a while (including money.) The winter has been fun but I can now understand how snow can handicap a whole state.


The boys played while the girls crafted. They built a snowboard ramp...


and jumped off the second story deck into the pile they had shoveled off. Hard work huh!


The not so fun part was digging out the car. Oh wait, I wouldn't know because I didn't shovel one snowflake.


We appreciated the plows but they just kept pushing more and more snow into our cars. There was no more room!


The big piles made for a sweet man ice cave. Here Ben is modeling the comfort and expansive living area. These storms were fun and epic but I'm ready for some sunlight!

Oh, I'm so jealous! I wish I could visit. But I don't want to live there. I like Florida.

Actually it's snowed like maybe 3 times out here in Utah...it's been SOOO warm that I didn't even need a jacket for church today. yeah NEVER happens out here at this time. weird. But glad you're making the best of the snow conditions!!

Just think how green it will be this spring, if that ever happens. Just stay warm and craft, craft, craft. Our weather yesterday was in the high 70's. Great softball weather and soccer weather.

what fun memories you have made together. Never forget them. We have been cold here in Arizona...but my sweater does the trick right now. Beautiful! But you know that hell is right around the corner. Last night Stan was over and made sliders for all of us..and the jacuzzi was on all bubbly and warm but no one used it. We are not very exciting over here. We need some SNOW to get us going I guess.
