Snow in Utah!!!

12-22-04

Here is my wet Talia after tons of fun in the snow. Lita decided it was time for her to come inside and get warm.

12-22-08 Despite the fact that we live in Colorado we haven't gotten much snow this season. And the snow that we did get didn't seem to merit serious snow play. I told Preston that when it did snow he would have to take Talia out in the snow. She loves the snow and it doesn't bother her a bit that it is cold. Gloves/Mittens were imposed by me but she wouldn't have cared. Talia loves to eat the snow and I watched her figure that out all by herself during Thanksgiving. She was quite proud to eat the snow and kept saying "more nnnnnow"(snow is said by air through her nose followed by the rest of the word). It was so much fun to have snow and time to kill so that the kids had a blast. Kendra and her family were in Utah too. Although they are not well equipped for the snow we made do. My mom helped us tape grocery bags on the kids feet and they dressed in many layers and had hours of fun.


Here is Kira, Barry, Talia and Preston working on the snowman.

Talia with her wonderful daddy! (Her gloves are actually my toe socks. Don't worry they were clean. Pretty funny!)

My crazy mom is out taking pictures in her short sleeves. I was too chicken to go outside, or was it too lazy to put my shoes on, so I took pictures through the window.

Preston spent a lot of time building this snow fort. Kira also helped with filling in the cracks (she is very detail oriented). He has the expertise from growing up in Rawlins Wyoming. I think he is the coolest for building the snow fort. It was put to good use on Christmas eve when everyone was over and the nephews battled the uncles.
