winter arrives

Well, we have a winter wonderland over here in Cheney. And, don’t get me wrong, I love the snow in general. I think it is so pretty hanging to tree branches. But I don’t like the cold and I don’t like how it makes everything icy and slippery and dangerous. I was warned that this was going to be another bad winter like we had two years ago and the forecasters have been right so far.

This is Whitney outside in her snowsuit. I just wanted to see what she thought of the snow, but apparently she doesn’t like it because she wouldn’t even touch it. So we were only out there long enough for the picture and we came back inside our warm apartment.


This is Whitney’s other pink snowsuit. I don’t know how we were so lucky to have two, we must have great friends. Whitney is giving her cute “I am about to get in trouble” smile.

Will is much better at taking self shots than I am. Here the two of them are both smiling and looking at the camera. How does he get such a great picture? The world may never know.

Whitney has moved onto bigger and better things that paper chewing … cardboard. She loves boxes and I always wonder when she is going to get her first cardboard paper cut because those things hurt. Hopefully, she doesn’t cut her tongue. Silly baby.

In case you were getting bored of baby shots, that is a Families are Forever sign that I made next to a picture of the Columbia River temple where Will and I were sealed. I am very proud of my artsiness. I don’t do well with any kinds of art projects, but I really wanted to make this in enrichment. We had to use carbon paper to write the letters and then we painted the inside. It took me the whole time to do this one project, but I am proud of it.

We were lucky and actually had two Thanksgivings this year. Will had to work the Friday after Thanksgiving, so we told my mom that we would come back to Pasco after that and she promised to wait and have the big dinner on Saturday. When our home teachers heard that we would be around without big plans for Thursday, he invited us to come have turkey with them. Whitney is bigger than the turkey, but only barely. Sorry the picture isn’t the greatest, but Whitney was being stubborn. And you should just ignore the arm to the side.

Will was holding Whitney so just her head could be seen above the staircase in my parents’ house. So I had to get a picture of the “floating” head. That is all for us. Hope everyone had great Thanksgivings.

happy thanksgiving

boy was thanksgiving ever happy, it was great to only have two days of school that week. A lot has happened in the past few weeks, we bought a car, a 1995 gold Toyota Camary. I took the GRE and rocked the 1000 point cutoff at BYU. BYU beat the U at football 17-10, and this year makes two.

For thanksgiving, Courtney and I, and Michel and Erin Anderson all went up to Lehi UT. and spent the day with the Haines family, and we a quite grateful for their hospitality.

School is coming to a close, and many of my large assignments are already completed, so there are only a few more things to do before finals kick in. Finding parking close to BYU is a joke, everything fills up at about 8:00 am sharp and there are no more spots available for the rest of your life, so you have to walk from 40 miles away, or just park at the marriot center.

The new car is good, it has mostly all working parts, but it lacks tunes, so we may get that looked at. the rest of it seems to be on good order, and it passed Carfax with flying colors.

It has finally gotten cold here in Provo, and outside our door the rain gutter drips and it has created an interesting looking natural ice sculpture on the grass.

in a distant past I had some pictures from halloween, and a few other things.

Beware the blurry Strong Bad Pumpkin.


Scooby doo and a Tiger playing gameboy on BYU campus, on halloween.
And begining a new tradition, funny things on BYU campus. This picture in in the library, and it shows the collective intelligence of the geography department. Clearly the library is located in South Central Africa.
