SNOW!!!!









It finally snowed and stayed on the ground! The kids were so excited to go outside and play in it! Olivia didn't play in the snow much last year so snow is a new thing to her. She thought eating it was really fun. Her mouth was bright red but she kept on eating it. Gracie and I built a snowwoman. I haven't done that in a while! It is a pretty good workout! Your butt and thighs start to burn like you've done a hundred squats. I don't remember feelin the burn when I was little! I am excited for Christmas. I have been working on making Barbie beds at night after the kids have gone to bed. They are turning out so cute and I am really feeling like one of Santa's elves or something. I will post some pics of them as soon as they are finished.

You guys are so lucky to have snow. We don't have any down here, but I hope it comes soon.

Sadie and AJ went out in the snow the other day and she loved the snow too. She loved to eat it as well and she had so much fun that she didn't even realize her hands were freezing and her cheeks were pink from being so cold. I guess when you are having fun, you don't think about things like that. :)

Tile Table

When my Grandma Johnson's house was being cleaned out we came across some extra tiles from when my Grandpa had tiled her kitchen for her. She loved blue and I'm sure she was delighted when He put up these blue white and brown tiles. Her kitchen was always where family congregated, as she was an excellent cook, and we all spent countless hours there with her and Grandpa. I remember a time when I was pregnant and my Mom and I had driven up to Provo to do some shopping. We talked about going to see grandma before we drove home and I said "Wow, you know I am really craving her apple pie right now! Wouldn't that be awesome if she had baked one today." Well as luck would have it we pulled up just as it was coming out of the oven. She didn't even know we were coming to visit! She had just felt like baking a pie. I have a zillion memories of her in her kitchen and so when her house sold I knew I needed a little piece of something that would stir up good feelings every time I looked at it. Nothing could be more perfect than tiles from her kitchen. So a couple of days ago I finally dug the tiles out and made a mosaic table for my front porch. I love it, and love having a little reminder of her.
