S.N.O.W.!

I am sure that most of you heard that Flagstaff got about 58 inches of snow! Isn't that crazy?!? It has been a beautiful sight though. Heavenly Father has truly blessed this area with moisture, a ton of it!! I have really loved seeing this much snow. I haven't been outside in about three days, but hey that's how it goes sometimes! Here are some fun pics from the storm!

This is a plowed parking lot and there is a car hidden under all that snow! I thought it was funny!


Can anyone spot the picnic bench?

Notice Joel's head compared to the snow pile.
Right outside of our apartment. Joel plowed throughout the storm. Some nights he would leave at 3am and not get back until noon the next day. He loved doing it. He loves the snow more than I do and he is from the desert!! Crazy kid!

Welcome 2010!

2009 was a great year full of joy and happiness, growth and healing. I had a baby, he has been such a good baby. He got his two bottom teeth and has started getting his top two. He just started to walk in December which has been such a joy to watch! I had my gallbladder out last April, thank goodness for the support of a wonderful mother-in-law that dropped everything and came to our aid. Thank you so much. My parents returned from their mission and it is so great having them home and spending Christmas with them. A new year brings excitement! Joel has begun student teaching at Flagstaff High School. Everyday I ask him, "how was your day?" and he says, "it was a really good day." It is so nice to hear that. My boys are growing so fast. Preston started sunbeams this year and I ask him if he likes it and he says,"yep!" So I hope he continues to do so well. He has been potty training as well and with that comes trials. We are dealing with the slow process. Joel graduates in May in Choral Music Education and with that I hope and pray he can find his dream job. We have been really blessed living here among great neighbors and great friends and we will miss it. I hope wherever we go it will bring as much happiness and fun. Be good to us 2010!

Unexpected

Well, we got our first big snow on Monday. It snowed all day long into the night. It said on the news we got 26-28 inches. It has been fun to see that much snow, but hard to get around. I posted some pics below.
Ethan started to take his first steps this week! He has taken about seven steps in a row without falling, so it is exciting! I just thought I would post a couple pictures of them from Halloween and the last couple months.

Our First Snow!
