Snow, Snow Go Away!

Tanner, Kara and Barry made this snowman for Kendy and I as a welcome home suprise. We just got back from Idaho and I'm so glad that my flight home was on Tuesday and not Wednessday. I would have been stuck who knows where for a few days. Janesville got 20 inches of snow on Tuesday night and Wednessday. School was closed two days because there was just so much snow everywhere.

I managed to take my trip with just Kendra. Kara and Tanner stayed home with Dad. When he was at work they were either with Dick and Nancy or with Tracy. I'm so glad they were willing to help out. I had a nice break with only one child, but I did miss the other's and so did Kendy.

Kendra was really good flying into Utah. She fell asleep during the flights and was just happy when she was awake. We got to SLC and Dad was there to pick us up. Kendy went right to him and let him hold her. When we went out to the car, I put my hand out to get Kendy and put her in the carseat, but she wouldn't come to me. I was shocked because she has been a mama's girl. She did win points with Grandpa! Kim and Matt were in Heber and it was fun to see and visit with them.

The next morning we left for Mt. Home to see Lisa and Fam. I actually enjoyed the ride. I forgot how beautiful Utah's Mountains are. We listened to President Hinkley's funneral on the way there. It was a good funneral. When we got to Mt. Home I found it funny that it is so flat (not like it's name suggests).

Little Kate was so cute. It's hard to believe how small babies start out. I was thinking that Kendy was smaller than this when she was in the hospital with RSV. She was so sweet and I was so glad to get to see the little girl.

We got to celebrate Micah's 3rd birthday too. He is such a funny little guy. One of the nights Lisa was getting the bath ready for Micah. She left the water running and Micah in the bathroom. Micah shut the door and opened the drawers so they blocked the door from being open. When Lisa discovered this she was worried about the water running. She threatened Micah and all he did was laugh. Seneca came over and tried, but all Micah could do was laugh at his upset parents. I came to the door and in a really sweet voice asked him to open the door for his Auntie Jodie and he did. Lisa was grateful that I was there 'cause who knows when he would have opened the door for them.

All the kids had fun with Grandpa! It's too bad Grandma was at Uncle Dan's funneral. It would have been fun to have her there too.

Whose feet are these? Dad and Kim have identical feet...just Kim's is a little smaller. We laughed at this comparison! Micah was impersonating Alphalfa.

Kendra liked playing with Micah. He was just like Kara with her (except he never tried to pick her up). Kendy liked his attention sometimes and sometimes didn't want him all over her.



Kendra loved baby Kate. She even crawled over to her and kissed her. It was very sweet. She liked to hold the baby with me.

We all got up and got ready for church and got there and no cars were in the parking lot. It was canceled and no one called Lisa and Seneca. The Elder's were in charge of that....funny thing is that Seneca was in the presidency.
