Well, it's cold again, so we had ice crystals hanging in the air all day. It's neat to walk around and the air looks like there is glitter suspended in it. When the sun started going down on Saturday there was a halo around it that made a rainbow. It's hard to see all the colors in the picture, but how cool is a rainbow circling the sun?!
Check out this guy. We have seen moose in our yard several time this last month. This one was in front of the next house over. They are HUGE! It's hard to tell, but it is. It's shoulders are even with the top of that truck it's next to. Not only that, the truck is up on a drive way packed with snow, and the moose is about a foot and a half lower down. They just stand there and eat even with all the traffic going by. I sat there in my truck and watched it, and people were driving by without even noticing that it was standing there!
It's February. Yay.
All you Californians are enjoying sun and warm weather. We are still wearing boots and trudging through the snow anywhere we go. Someday we will get to wear flip flops again. I'm hopeful that day will be before June. Might not happen though.
That's ok though. We are learning to ice skate and reveling in the sun that actually shines and makes us feel like we are warm if we stand in front of a window with our eyes shut. In a few months we will have to pretend that it actually gets dark when we shut our eyes! haha...I do love it here. :)
Here are the girls playing out in the snow. The last two weeks have been great. The temperature has gotten above zero for a while, and the kids were able to play outside for a few hours at a time. It was so nice! Now the temperature is back down to the negatives. It was -41 this morning, so they canceled all the meetings at church except sacrament.

Aren't the snowflakes so pretty? We get those perfect flakes a lot here. We don't get the big, fat, heavy flakes very often. When the flakes are perfect like this and light shines on them at night it looks like there is glitter covering all the houses and the ground. It's beautiful.
Lizzie likes to try to shovel the snow.
Poor Simi was sick, so I wouldn't let him come out and play. He just stood there with his face smashed against the door, watching us all run around.

Tiff, I LOVE the snowflake picture! I don't think I've ever seen a snowflake so perfect! How big is it? When we get our big snow flakes they still don't seem to ever get that big. All of our Heavenly Father's creations were thought out with great care!
Sounds like you guys are enjoying life! :)
We are enjoying life! The snowflake in that picture is smaller than the tip of my pinkie. They are usually pretty tiny, and a lot of the time every flake that falls looks like that. I'll have to take better pictures next time it falls during the day.
