Warm before the storm

Last weekend we went to St. George while Justin has some meetings.  Evie and I had a nice time during a beautiful day!  We went to the St. George Temple grounds and, of course, the pizza factory for dinner.  It was a fun getaway! 

After seeing and playing on the stairs, we have to make stairs on our blocks/Legos temple now.  every time.

The week we came home, it stormed a few times.  We were able to make some snowmen.  (er, women/girl).   One night, this is what Justin and Evie made.  It’s a little Evie snowgirl! 

 

SNOW!

Just a reminder on this beautiful, and gorgeous May morning...we woke up to {THIS!} on Saturday (just a few days ago!). Good weather comes and goes in a blink of an eye.
P.S. I really liked how the snow fell on the tulips. That was probably the ONLY think I liked about this snowstorm. (other than the fact that it may be the last one!)

New Year's Day

Happy New Year everyone! It's going to be a great year! On New Year's day, we went sledding with my family. We had a blast and Evie even had fun sliding down the big hill.

One time, Justin put her in her own tube and he held onto it in his tube. It was so cute.

My really, really smart sister (who is so active and outdoorsy) just had surgery on her knee last, came to watch us tube, and she decided to go down. I really don't blame her for wanting to go; it really was quite fun. Everyone volunteered to help her back up the hill. She safely made it down, and thanks to this crew, she safely made it back up. she later admitted that the decision to go down was probably not the wisest. That was pretty funny.

Evie found that she could slide down the hill in her snow pants. She preferred this to the tube, and had fun sliding. It was a beautiful and perfect day! Cold, but sunny. All the layers kept us warm.

Evelyn's first icicle

Evie was playing with my camera and i was trying to teach her how to work it. We took this self portrait and it turned out amazinly well for her wiggli-ness!
Evelyn's first icicle! She loved it and wants one everytime we are outside!

Snow Day!

The biggest snow day of the year so far! Look at all of that snow Justin had to shovel this morning. It took him 2 hours!! It was a ton of snow! It definately brings the Christmas/holiday spirit!
