Let it Snow...somewhere else.

Steph sent me some fun pictures today...here is Ty with (l-r) Logan, Con and Dane.
This is them in the backyard after playing a mean game of tackle football...
And this is that same backyard today.
I am really sorry, but I am so glad that this is at your house and not mine. The kids were whining last night that it doesn't snow here, and I'm just not feelin' it. I like not having to scrape the crap off my car at the grocery store. I like not having to shovel it off my driveway only to have it dump 5 more inches as soon as I'm done. I like not having to dig a path through the snow in the backyard for my dog to poop on. And I like not having poop in my snow in my backyard.
It looks really pretty and all. I am so happy you sent it to me, Steph. I love to watch snow from afar.
I was actually having a pity party for myself today...and this cheered me right up!

I miss the snow!!! I'm glad that we got to see some in New Mexico, but I am also glad that I don't have to deal with it here.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone.”

-Audrey Hepburn
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want.


"I am one of [Jesus Christ's] witnesses, and in a coming day I shall feel the nail marks in his hands and in his feet and shall wet his feet with my tears. But I shall not know any better then than I know now that he is God's Almighty Son, that he is our Savior and Redeemer, and that salvation comes in and through his atoning blood and in no other way."--Bruce R. McConkie, "The Purifying Power of Gethsemane"

"...we must be careful, as we seek to become more and more godlike, that we do not become discouraged and lose hope. Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible. The scriptures record remarkable accounts of men whose lives changed dramatically, in an instant... But we must be cautious as we discuss these remarkable examples. Though they are real and powerful, they are the exception more than the rule. For every Paul, for every Enos, and for every King Lamoni, there are hundreds and thousands of people who find the process of repentance much more subtle, much more imperceptible. Day by day they move closer to the Lord, little realizing they are building a godlike life. They live quiet lives of goodness, service, and commitment. They are like the Lamanites, who the Lord said "were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost, and theyknew it not." (3 Ne. 9:20; italics added.)"--Ezra Taft Benson, "A Mighty Changeof Heart"
