::catch up post::


Hello Everyone!! Hope this all finds you doing well this beautiful, sunny morning. The temperature is already up in the 40's and we are feeling fresh and ready to start our new day.

I thought I would run over a few things that happened in the past month. First of all I am going to admit that I have been a terrible person at taking pictures lately, and yes, I do regret it. Any hows, last month was Harmony in the Desert and we got to visit with friends from all over and spend time playing volley ball, etc... Then there were the long two weeks afterwards that found all of us but Dad on the couch with high fever and colds. We managed to get through that and are all back to running normal. :) Joanna enjoyed going with a group of people up to Pine Top and learned how to snow board. I would've loved to have went, but it just didn't work out. We are now busy planning a baby shower for Hannah and my best friend is getting married, so we have all that on the go. 

We sadly haven't gotten any snow this winter so far. Micah put up a sand box for the little guys.
Can a hair cut really be that bad?? :) Mom was showing Hannah how to do it, and Jaylon was pretty worried. :)
Snuggling with brother...

Could this little girl be any cuter?
Wearing Noiny's shoes :)

She is such a little stinker. She is learning to talk and jabbers away.. :)

And then there's these little guys.. :)
That smile is so precious!
Well, that's all for now. I am going to try and make a Canada post next.. So have a great week everyone!!

Sledding in Mount Lemmon

Is there snow in Arizona?

We decided to jump in the van to see if we could find any. The mountain was brown all the way to the top as far as we could see, as we started up the long incline. 

Passing the sign that says "altitude 5000 feet".. no snow. :/

Could this be a hopeless journey? Was it just a story going around that there was snow up here?
Our winter has been so warm, that well... it feels kinda like spring. We were spoiled with 5 snows last year.. but so far none this year. We just had to find snow!
6000 feet, 7000 feet, and then just as we were coming to 8000 feet we saw it. All stacked up along the road. White, cold crispy snow. 
Our journey had not been in vain. Enough to sled in?... nope, guess that could be a problem. Lets drive higher!!

Finally we came around a corner and found a spot where there was a lot of other people sledding. 

We had found it!! Snow in Arizona!! With the perfect hill to go sledding down. :)

Cries of excitement went up as the boys and girls bounded out of the van! Snow!!

We spent hours sliding down those hills..

Those same exact hills, but each time it was different. Sometimes a good ride to end up successfully at the bottom.

Other times to come crashing down upon one another. All landing in one big heap. Laughing hysterically!!  

Making another day full of memories is what we did. We had a wonderful time, and yes, 

there is snow in Arizona!! :)

Don't miss your little clip! :)
