Another Day, Another 9 inches!!!

WOW! Winter really has arrived. A huge storm today with 9-12 inches on the valley floor. Beautiful, but really a pain to drive in, thank goodness for AWD!!

check out how deep at the sidewalk!!

Fun in the snow!!!

We had a big storm on Friday that dumped about 8 inches at our house. We have a great sledding hill just behind our home that we love to tube on. David takes his snowboard and does some jumps while Sammi and I stick to the tube. Brad does the tube, but also a bit on snowboard. Our Boxer puppy, Maddie, love to chase us and you will see her in a few of the pictures. Brad also gave her a ride down the hill, that she was not crazy about!!

Just a fun way to spend some time in the snow.

Another storm heading in tonight. We will have a white Christmas!!

A sign biking is over for the season.

We had our first big storm yesterday. Not a lot of snow, but there sure was a lot of wind. The snow was blowing sideways!!!

It is always so beautiful and quite after a storm. Sammi was with friends in SLC and had to spend the night due to the weather. More snow on the forcast for today!!! Here we go again.

Oh to see the Lights.

Tonight Brad and I went into Salt Lake to meet up with his sister Sandy and his Mother. We first went to the Governors Mansion to see all of the Holiday decorations. It was beautiful. The Mansion was built in 1901 and is only open to the public a few times a year. The Governor and his family do still live in it on the upper floors so it was a treat to get to go in and have a tour. We were only able to see the first floor, but it was so beautiful.

Lolly and the Lights.

After the tour we went off for a fun dinner and then we went off to see the light of Temple Square. We sure to love to do this and it was fun to do it this year with Janet and Sandy. There are so many lights it is just amazing how they do it.

At the reflection pond.

What a wonderful way to spend an evening during the holiday season.

Pheasant Hunting

The day after Thanksgiving, while I went off to work at 5:30am, Brad and David and Uncle Marty went pheasant hunting near Manti. Marty's office hosted the day and the boys had a lot of fun. David had never been pheasant hunting, and they shot 21 birds. They only brought home 4, but they cooked them up and they tasted really good (minus the bee bee's) It was a fun way to end a great Thanksgiving.

That was a Bee bee!!
