Utah Weather

We finally got some GREAT snow in which to build a snowman and go sledding. Alauna and I built a Snow Kitty, but the little stinker knocked it down before I could take a picture of it. Oh, well. As long as she had fun. This picture is of her pulling her "Small Kitty" on a sled. She takes this cat along with her everywhere she goes. It was mine when I was in High School, but she kind of adopted it as hers.




This is a picture I took of Josh. I didn't realize he was trying to throw a snow ball at me, because I was focusing more on getting the pretty clouds in the background. What a cutie!



















This is one of my favorites! Alauna had fun making a snow angel, so of course "Small Kitty" had to make a Snow Kitty. Love her!









HOWEVER, 9 days later (yes, 9) we were invited to my brother Jayson's house to eat dinner and roast S'mores. The weather was SO nice (upper 60's). That is Utah weather for you. I got out all the kids' spring/summer clothes and started making room for them, getting really excited for Spring to come. And wouldn't you know it, 9 days after that (today) it snowed, AGAIN! I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind. I don't like being teased about the good weather.Ok. Enough ranting. At my brother's house again. They let Alauna drive their 4-wheeler. She had a blast.


This last one is Josh playing in the dirt/sand pile with his cousin, Caiden. We really had a great time visiting and enjoying the beautiful weather.

What's coming next for the Marshall's? Lots of fun things. We got a mini greenhouse to put in our kitchen so we can plant seeds for our garden. I set it up and it looks great. Now just to plant the seeds. So far, on our list of things to plant: corn, potatoes, tomatoes, raspberries, chives, parsley, cilantro, and the kids planted 2 pumpkins (to carve for Halloween). I am really excited. Especially since we are actually starting on time this year, so we may actually get a good harvest. Pictures to come!
