It has been snowing here all week long. The wonderful thing about it is that the mountains are getting a ton of accumulation and my front lawn is barely even getting a skiff! And even that quickly melts away when the sun comes out. That is the beauty of Utah winters, my friends.

Now, if only we could get rid of the smog…

I think January and February have pretty bad raps for being the worst months of the year. Christmas is over, our New Year resolutions have already flopped and it’s mostly cold and dreary with no where to go.

This is normally a common feeling with me, but this year we have been enjoying this snowy month thoroughly. We have been watching the ski resort’s bases get deeper and deeper and are counting the days when we can get back up there to take advantage of any freshly fallen snow.

This last Saturday we took Emma and Isaac with us night skiing and we had a surprisingly great time. We had  prepared ourselves for complaining and begging to quit within an hour but Emma really caught on and couldn’t have been enjoying herself more.

I captured some great footage of her pizza-wedging-it down the bunny hill but I’ve been having problems with my camera connecting with the USB cord. I borrowed a camera so I could swap the SD cards but that camera wouldn’t recognize the video clips… so I only have these 2 photos for show. I’m hoping to fix the camera situation soon.

Isaac has extremely good balance and is a tough kid so we thought we’d try him out on the snowboard even though he is a bit young. He had no idea how to keep his edge up so I would just hold his hands and off we’d go down the slopes cutting back and forth. It worked pretty good and he thought that it was “Dodally Awwesdome!”

We agree.
