Stinking Snow....

Well, we ended up being able to go to St George for the weekend. A short and snowy visit!

The snow chased us down and then hung around like it thought we wanted it there! Stinking snow! We ended up not really being able to do much of anything because it was so cold. We had made some tentative plans to go out target shooting on Saturday, but with the weather, it would not have been fun at all, so we scratched that plan.

In stead we took Mom & Dad to breakfast and then drove out to see Gunlock res. It was coming over the spillway, but not as much as I had been a week earlier. Still, neat to see it coming over the top. The wind was blowing and making it very cold so we didn't stay to long, and then we drove out to Beaver res, and Chet was able to take some pictures out there. Hopefully some of them will turn out good and I will post one so ya'll can see how much it was really snowing. It was crazy for St George, but especially for St George this time of year.

We did get to go out to dinner for Moms birthday. We went to Samurai 21 for dinner. It is a Japanese grill, where they cook the food as you watch. It was fun, but a bit pricey. Still, there were enough leftovers between Dad, Mom & me that I think there was enough for them to both eat again later. When we all got back to the house, we had picked up Narnia 3 "Voyage Of the Dawn Treader" so we sat down and watched that. All in all a good time.

Then this morning as we were packing the car to leave, the sun finally made an appearance, just to show us what we will be missing this next week, had we had any time to be able to stay and play.

Thanks Mom & Dad for having us down. Love you all and hope you are all doing well!

Wonderful....

Hey everyone! Hope this post finds you all well and good!

I thought that the secessions of Conference were wonderful! as usual! This year we did something a bit different. At least for us. We usually just sit home or take a drive, but the weather has been crazy weird and not really fun to be out in. So we had some friends of ours call and invite is over for lunch with them and to watch the last secession of conference. It was really nice! Ford got to be there for lunch and the secession of conference, and Megan got there after she got off work. Just before the secession got over. Then we had dessert and Ford left for work.

Then we popped in the movie Tangled and enjoyed the movie with them and Megan. What a great way to spend the day!

I wish I lived closer to family so that we could do that as family, but as it is I don't see much of anyone, any more than they do either. Distance and fuel hinder things even more at the moment, but we are trying to get down to see Mom and Dad. Hoping it is going to work out that we can go down for Mom's birthday!
