Ski Utah & home sweet home

We saw a lot of snow in UT.











That was Blair and my brother one morning after they helped that car get un-stuck.







When we went skiing, there was a pile of snow on our car after:









It was so cold and windy too that day.  I was so surprised Xander liked it.
Who wants to ski in 
this?






Xander and Blair afterward.










What a big boy, going skiing for the 1st time.








My kids love the snow so much.  Here was Will standing like an inch from the door, ready to go out because my dad told him he was going to pull him on a sled.















Brrrrr.  After remembering all that cold, I'd better put some warmer memories up:




Here are all the grandkids getting cozy with grandma Lafaunda.









Will left his mark on my mom's fudge.  What a stinker.







We went with my family to go see the trains at a neighbor's house.  The boys LOVED it.

























Now that we're back home, we're in the middle of a disaster.  The builder of the homes here has found that they need to fix some fittings on the pipes, or they break and cause floods (remember our flood back in August?- yeah, it's the same thing)  So we're having our home done right now.

Here's our house (the war zone):



Upstairs.









Looking down.











Even the garage.








After covering everything with plastic, they started cutting holes in the wall everywhere!














Holes, 
holes, 
and more holes.




















Yep.  Here are the pieces they cut out.  They told me to plan on like 50 holes in the wall.







We'll be dealing with this until the end of the week at least, so we've been trying to stay away from our house. Luckily a few of our friends have let us come over and hang out.
