First snow

Can you believe that we haven't really had any snowstorms yet this year? The boys have been waiting and waiting for it to snow. They were so excited when they woke up this morning and found snow on the ground!

It wasn't a very big storm and as the day got warmer, the snow got wetter. When we went to pick Jacob up from Kindergarten he told me he was disappointed that the snow was all melted. So I told him that there was still a little snow on the driveway that he could shovel if he wanted. He was so excited! The minute we got home he had me get out his shovel so he could get to work!

You would not believe how fast the boys were running back and forth on the driveway! They were having such fun!

It was actually nice that the boys shoveled so our driveway would get clean and dry. Goodness knows Joe would not have enough time to do it!

Last night when Joe got home we headed to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple for the sealing of our neighbors, the Miller Family. It was a very special occasion that we were glad to be a part of. I have never seen children sealed to their parents, and it was a wonderful event. The only downside is that Amelia cried nearly the entire time we were gone. She did the same thing to the babysitter last week on Tuesday when we went to Joe's work party at Tucanos. Amelia has reached the age where she definitely knows that the babysitter is NOT Mommy, and she wants her mommy. Poor girl!

After the sealing I took Amelia to a YA book group meeting. I figured she would NOT be happy if I left her home. Since Joe is studying for a test on Friday, I figured he could use some quiet time. When I got home we ran over to the Miller's house to give them a picture of the Oquirrh Mountain temple and a scarf I knitted for Michelle. We had a nice chat with them and are hoping to trade babysitting with the Millers so we can each go to the temple once a month. It is nice to have neighbors like the Millers close to us, especially now that we are getting to know them better!
