Playin' Hooky

Yesterday Mark and I decided that we needed a break. So, we took work off and headed up to Park City to ski at The Canyons. It was so fun! we used some passes that we had been saving so we had a lovely free time! I was completely exhausted! I've never been skiing all day before and I'm feelin' it today! but it was very worth it to spend the entire day with my love muffin!

Skiing

Mark and I have been several times to ski this season. However, we have not taken very good pictures. so here are the ones we do have!

To My AZ (and TX) Family: You are So Lucky!!!

This is what I woke up to yesterday. Yes in the MIDDLE OF APRIL we had a Massive snow storm. I know this picture is bad, i had to take it from my car with my phone. Yes, those are bikes, cars, trees, telephone poles... completely covered in mounds of snow. I wanted to cry. I took the bus to school and had to ask the driver which bus it was because all the numbers were covered in snow. I miss being warm so much!!!

For Abby

So I noticed that on Nathan and Shelly's blog that they got some "snow" in Houston and that Abby was very excited about it. So I decided I couldn't bring the snow to her, but I could show her what real snow is like. We woke up this morning to a big snow storm, so i ventured out to take some pictures for Abby.

Right outside our apartments. You can't really tell, but it was really coming down. (Also notice that I got my hair done. You can't really tell because I was doused with snow the second I stepped outside, but I got some highlights in. The first step to getting rid of the stupid stupid brown)

Views leading up to our apartment:

the view from our living room window:

I had planned on going to the gym and grocery shopping this morning, but after looking outside and seeing this, I decided it would be safer to stay off of the roads until this storm passes.

Every morning we get up Mark goes to the window to see if it snowed the night before. When he discovers that it did (and sometimes when it didn't) he sings this song:

It snowed last night
It snowed last night
The angels had a pillow fight

It's really dorky, but I love it!

Anyway, I hope you liked the pictures Abby. Sorry it's not more exciting. It was too cold to stay out to get better pictures. You will just have to come visit us here and we can go play in the snow!

It's Practically April... and it's Snowing

So this morning i looked at the weather report online and saw that it was supposed to snow today. So i went over and opened the blinds... and this is what I saw! I honestly couldn't believe it. I thought i was done with all of this nonsense. But it has been continuously snowing ALL day... poor me.

White December 1st

Sorry we don't have any pictures, but i thought i would just share our
December 1st... only a few days late. We woke up on Saturday to find
it had finally snowed. Snow was everywhere!!! (it made us very glad we
had both gotten parking spots underground that night!) so that night,
we went with Mark's cousin and his girlfriend and found a great spot in
American Fork and went sledding. It was so much fun. Of course i had to
borrow all of Mark's snow clothes so i wouldn't freeze to death. but it was
so fun. sorry we left the camera in the car, cuz it would have been great!
