CHURCH CANCELED

Because of all the snow we got yesterday, we got a call from our home teachers....church is canceled. I wasn't going anyway. I still feel pretty rough. Tee enjoyed his morning outside, helping Tyler chop some firewood for the basement. It has actually warmed up a bit. When the kids first got up, it was only 1 degree!

Weekend Snow Storm

So while all my sisters and sisters-in-laws on the MUNNS side, along with my mom and dad, were living it up on the annual "girls trip" cruise to the Bahamas, we have been snowed in with over a foot of snow. (I'm not cruising because apparently I'm too pregnant to be allowed on the boat...just me and Collin's wife, Christine, missed it. Don't worry, I cursed them all with 6 pound weight gain, fungal infections, sea sickness, and that perhaps one or two will choke on a cocktail shrimp!)

Tyler told the kids about the Klondike derby they did in scouts. The boys would go into the mountains and build themselves igloos, camp in them and then have sled races. So he got a shovel and helped Duce and Jett build a big mound of snow, that they hope to hollow out into their own igloo.

To add insult to injury, I woke up Friday morning feeling a bit under the weather. By Friday night, I felt sicker than I had in YEARS...body aches, fever, sore throat, stuffy nose...the works! Even with my "big" pills, I was only able to function. I was able to drag myself out of the house to take pictures of the rest of the family having so much fun in the snow. (thank heavens for Tyler and Jordan's blessing...it really worked!)

The joy of GOO!

Yesterday, Tyler took the big kids to Wal-Mart to spend some of their Christmas money. Jett bought the EVER popular GOO! The kids shriek and howl with laughter. (When no one is looking, I've used it and cracked myself up, too.) It reminds me of the iphone app that my sis, Kara, has on her phone....I'm pretty sure I duplicated "the dirty raoul".

and yes its been awhile since I've posted anything...I'm beginning to think no one really checks this anyway. If you do, I will be better. All my Christmas/New Year/Florida pics are on my mom's computer in FL, so I'll have to wait on those. Until then, enjoy our "goo"!
