The weather we have enjoyed lately



Beautiful sun Thanksgiving day



Torrential down-pours the following week




12 inches of snow in 1 afternoon


We are having a ton of fun here in the snow!! It started with a "freak storm" in Vegas which closed the Vegas airport, leaving our flight delayed 1.5hours making our arrival time 1:40 AM Vegas time. We arrived at our friend Brandon's house at 3 in the morning. I couldn't believe how much snow he had at his house. Neither could he or his wife. I wanted to get photos, but left my camera in the car which we had to park a block away from his house because it couldn't make it up the hill in the snow. Vegas doesn't get much snow, so they aren't very good about making rounds with the snow-plows.

The flight to Vegas from Hawaii wasn't too bad. Eden fell asleep for the 1st hour as soon as we took off.
We thought she would sleep the entire way, but she surprised us...and wouldn't fall asleep till we were off the plane and in the car. She loved looking at all the planes during our wait to get on our flight. We were just glad it was only delayed an hour and a half. Could have been much worse.

Anyway, the next day we were headed to Utah. We headed for Cafe Rio on the way home from the airport with my parents...delicious!!! Then we were dropped off at the Parker's to spend the evening with Jonathon's family.

Right now we are up in East Canyon with my parents spending a few days thanks to Jonathon's parents generosity sharing their winter time-share condo with us. Eden went to bed at 7pm for the first time in a long time. Her schedule is still pretty messed up. But, we are having a ton of fun, watching movies, eating too much, enjoying family, and playing in the "no" as Eden refers to it. Still haven't made a "no-man" but that is on the agenda for tomorrow.
