Snow Day!!

Our snow day started off with and adventure to Colorado City, AZ. We tried to find snow along the way but no luck. So, we purchased raw cheese and milk and headed off the other direction to find snow. We ended up at Kolob area. This was fun because the town of New Harmony was right across the way. This was the town we dreamed of living and having five acres of land. Now, as we ook back, we can not honestly see how or why we dreamed that. It is gorgeous there but not right for us. We love having the opportunity to spend time in this area with family!

The snow was perfect this day!! We did not have to drive far and were able to have fresh snow! Below is a picture of the snow fort in preparation for a snowball fight. Shayna and I were able to take the babies in the car and park nearby so we could watch them playing and sledding, but also keep the babies warm!

I love this one of the kids having a snowball fight with Grammy! I love Taft's stance. This shows how close to the road we were due to the recycle bins.

This is the REAL snowball fight between Dad and Ryan! I am not sure we had a winner! I absolutely love watching them together. Ryan and his dad have such an amazing relationship! They have so much in common and I am so glad Ryan has that! They were also able to go on several runs together! I always like to think someday they can meet up places and do races together!

Braxton and Papa playing in the snow! My kids had so much fun with the cousins!

Yup, he is mine! I am so glad I still feel that way 99% of the time. :) I am very blessed to have such a wonderful husband who truly loves his family! He takes such good care of us! He played with the kids the whole time in the snow and the best part is that we finally had to tell Dad and Ryan it was time to Go! Kenzie didn't want to leave either.

Emily getting her first sledding lesson. I have to tell the story of these sleds. These sleds are from Christmas, Kenzie asked for a sled for Christmas and he had seen these ones at Costco and thought they were perfect! We decided we needed two so everyone could have a turn but were not quite sure when we would ever use them. I seriously feel this was a blessing and answer to prayers. We packed the sled with us for our trip in hopes to stop in Flagstaff on our way home and play. We did not really want to drive through Flag due to ice and cold but knew this may be our only chance to see snow. Luckily, it snowed in Toquerville on Sunday and gave plenty of snow to the North for our Monday play day! It is amazing how happy this made Kenzie! He is our only child, so far, who wants to live in the snow when he grows up! And thanks to Grammy and Papa for sharing their gloves!
