#12

Cole started playing basketball at the Lehi Legacy Center a couple of weeks ago. He is #12 (if you hadn't guessed!) and he absolutely LOVES it. I thought soccer was a fun sport for younger kids but basketball is even better. It is an absolute riot to watch the kindergartners and 1st graders run up and down the court waving their arms around for reasons they don't know. Coach just says "block!" The rules are pretty loose, for example they encourage players to dribble, but it's not completely necessary. We don't keep score and of course there is a treat at the end!! What could be better?!?! And to top it off, Cole scored two baskets in his first game! I even got one on video. I am not a good multi-tasker so running the camera and watching the game and making sure Macie is still around is a real challenge for me!! And sorry about the quality of the video, it's a tad blurry. I am completely technologically challenged as well :)

They're So Cute When They're Clean!!

One Fun Christmas!

What a Fun Day!

Today we decided to make a trip to Roy (the Ogden area) and visit Justin's Grandpa and Grandma Dean. We had such a good time, as we always do!! The minute we sat down we were offered all sorts of yummy treats which we all enjoyed, especially Cole and Macie!! We also had a bonus visit with Justin's Aunt Janis and her two cute dogs, Peanut and Midget. They were also a hit! It sure was fun to drop in for a while!!

Then on our way home we thought we should probably stop and see the lights at Temple Square since it is almost Christmas after all! We hadn't planned on doing that so we weren't entirely prepared for the cold. I was the least prepared with a jacket and nothing else (don't get any ideas, I was wearing clothes of course!). I did have a hood on the shirt I was wearing. Amazingly enough we all stayed pretty warm but took advantage of warming up in the visitor's center and of course the restroom stop that is necessary every where we go :). It was a glorious sight. I am always in awe of the sheer number of lights it takes to have everything look so beautiful. It was worth braving the cold and the crowds and Cole and Macie had a great time.

A Real Live Saint!

Many of you may not know that there is a real live saint that lives just two houses away from me. His name is Saint Carl. We just had a HUGE blizzard overnight and I put off shoveling until mid morning thinking that would be better. Well, it wasn't. It was much worse because the wind picked up. When I say wind I don't mean a pleasant breeze, I mean wind that nearly knocks Macie right off her feet!! So as I was cursing the wind and thinking about putting our house up for sale along comes St. Carl with his snow blower!! He didn't say a word, just starting blowing all the snow off of our long driveway. I felt a little guilty cursing so near a Saint but waved to him and mouthed Thank You as he whipped back and forth, miraculously clearing the snow despite the gale force winds!!

THANK YOU ST. CARL!!!

Lots of sledding videos for you to enjoy!
