A few hours free? A nice day? A huge snowy hill? Where do you think four big little kids would go????
You sure guessed it! To Old Main on USU campus for the best sledding in town! This last Saturday my roommate Bryce, my old roommate Joey, his brother Nick, and I bundled up in our snow clothes and joined the throng a little kids sliding, crashing, bumping, and laughing their way down the hill. We brought some tire tubes, but they didn't work so well so I very nice lady offered us some faster sleds and we were on our way. We raced, went in trains, flew off jumps, and avoided running into any of the hundreds of kids all around us. I felt so light hearted and happy to be out in the sun, reliving some of my favorite childhood past times. A shout out to all those of Oakridge Circle who spent some awesome nights sledding in the fresh powder under the bright moon, and to those of 1375E who used to take the brave plunge down the "widowmaker." I guess at heart I am still a little kid (cause at belly I sure can't claim the same!). I really love the wonderful snow we have been getting and hope that you have all been able to take some time and enjoy it also. I feel like I should be saying something profound or life-changing right now, but nothing is really coming to mind. I will get better at this post thing. Love ya all!

SNOW!
As many of you know, I am still a college student and as such I have the right to have tons of fun doing stupid things. I for one don't think being pulled on a tube behind a car at 30mph is as stupid as some people tell me. But for the sake of argument, despite who is right, it sure is FUN! When the homework is just driving us crazy and the snow is falling beautifully we jump in the car and head up to green canyon with our tubes, tow rope, make-shift warm clothes (notice the tennis shoes) and let out some stress. This was the first "run" of the day so Bryce Jensen (my roommate and driver) wanted to make sure I survived and went more slowly. However, the next day we went up (which is the second video) we tried to figure out just how soft the snow actually was. Back and forth we went on this snow covered dirt road. Most people just stare at us and we yell "Wahooo!" as load as we can. The cars that pass on the side of the road make things a little more interesting. All in all no one got hurt! This is one of our favorite activities, along side spinning donuts in the street in front of house trying to end the spin in the driveway! Sadly my college days are numbered and drawing to a close here in May and I guess I will have to be a little bit more cautious ..... or maybe not! Have fun in the snow!

A 1940's Christmas
My cute Nana and Papa used to perform at nursing homes during the Christmas time before Nana passed away. My brother thought it would be fun to carry on the tradition this year. My cousin Brooke, brother Brad and their friend Jeff are pictured above singing and my Papashaw is below, isn't he the most handsome, almost 90-yr old ever?They came up with a darling program with lots of fun songs from or about the 1940's - war time - as well as some fun newer songs, like "Christmas Cookies Babe", featuring Jeff on the guitar. They have performed at 2 places with 2 more to go. The elderly folks love them and ask for their record album! What a great thing to do this Christmas time. It was fun to listen to them. Oh, and my mom accompanies them. I took my kids today, so it was fun to have 4 generations there!
Here I am......
Well I thought the craze looked like so much fun I just had to join! Its all Lichelle's fault really. I was jealous of all the attention she was getting and since my life has been built around trying out do her, its my turn! For those of you who end up reading this, I hope that you enjoy it because I think I will enjoy doing it. However don't expect too much because I have never been good at keeping up to date on the online personal things like Facebook or Myspace. I hope I will do a little better here. Well here goes and I hope you enjoy the adventure!
