Utah Roads

I snapped this picture on my cell phone -- this is what the roads look like around our house.  And this is one of the major roads.

Fun in the snow

We have had a tremendous amount of snow this year. This morning I shoveled 8 inches off our driveway, and then another 8 this evening. So...all that snow calls for some fun. The kids and I did a little snowshoeing in our backyard tonight, and they tried to slide their way into a creek bed. Jacob ended up on his head, and Anna was too buried to move. So naturally I did a "cannonball" on the hillside and sent an avalanche over both of them.

Two front teeth become one

Anna lost a big tooth this week. I can't decide if she looks like a grandma with no teeth, or just a kid that is much older than my baby Anna.

Happy Holidays from Elvis

This holiday season we had a ton of family in town -- Jen's dad from California, Jayme and Blake from Nashville, Great-grandma Halverson from St. George....plus the usual locals. We enjoyed sledding, lots of snow, skiing and of course, feasting.

Santa, in all his wisdom, decided to bring Jacob a guitar for Christmas. I hope you enjoy this unique rendition of "Blue Suede Shoes."
