Schools out - really?

Seriously folks this is all it takes in Washington County to shut down the school system. You can still see the curbing in my front yard for goodness sake. Here's a shot of the road in front of my house. I know, I know St. George doesn't have any snow plows, but honestly does this road look like it needs a plow? It was slush by 9:00. Of course the kids were thrilled to see the snow actually sticking to the ground and loved playing in it. Truth be told, I was just as excited as they were. Christmas time is the only time of year I miss living in Salt Lake. The snow takes me back to years that seem to belong to a different life. It reminds me of growing up, being young and feeling the true magic of Christmas. Here are some pics of Payton making her first snowman, you have to look close to see him. He's the white thing standing in front of her leg, she is so proud. Ellie and Kortney were gone with friends all day so no pics of them.

Keeping Things Even

Having three girls, I am constantly trying to keep things fair. Even if this means completing the same insanely long and detailed baby book (the one I thought would be great for Ellie) for all my girls. By the time I finish Payton's I'll want to burn it. Truth be told I'm not even done with Kortney's yet, in my wise choice of baby books I got the one that goes to age 7. What was I thinking? Actually I can blame this one on Corbie. (There are many things in my life that I like to blame on Corbie - and she usually lets me.) So in keeping things level, after devoting an entire post to Ellie playing soccer, it is only fair I show some pictures of Kort and Payt in their dance classes. These are the best shots I could get of Kortney during her ballet class. I personally think she's a natural - her middle name isn't Grace by chance.


















Payton told me no more pictures and didn't hide her disgust when I kept going. In her class they dress up as many different characters and pretty much run around the room. She loves it and cries to go to her "dancing class."

Watching Ellie Play

Here are some shots of Ellie playing soccer this fall. She may be small but she is awesome. She was the high scorer on her team, way to go #3!

Nice kick El
