The Better Things in Life...well for the past month!

Here is a message from Abby, Kate, Easton, Ba, Nan and Grandpa J. Love you guys. Abby, Kate and Easton saw a few episodes of Wonder Pets while at the cabin. Weird huh? They liked it a lot.
This is Maggie and me. We are at Alley's Pizza awaiting Pizza rolls. Yummy.
I just had to take a picture of this. It is so funny. Just read the top for now and cover the rest up. Freedom to Choose! Wow, it is trying to motivate you that whatever is inside will change your life forever. Now uncover the rest...you get to choose...a maxipad or a tampon. Here is my testimonial...my life has changed dramatically! LOL.
Ba and I were eating some Starbursts. My tongued turned half and half colors. Also weird. I know...I know...my tongue looks really appealing right now.
Maggie took some snowboarding lessons from the greatest instructor of all time...MOI! She was pretty good! Bailee was nice enough to lend us some of her equipment. Thanks BA!
I love the ride up the ski lift. It is peaceful and relaxing...but it is very cold on the tush.
Who could this be?
In the parking lot, Maggie was so scared she was shaking! It was pretty funny to see her come down the first little hill. We hadn't even gone up the lift yet. Very amusing. Gotta love the girl.
Zoey, Sarah, McKenzie. My ward had a disco rollerskating night. It was great fun...until I completely fell backward and let my head break my fall. My head was mushy for only two weeks, and I only suffered a massive headache those two weeks. Nothing major. :-) Maybe I am just being a baby, but I also got a blister on my foot from my skates. I still have it. :-(
Kristi Ann and Annie at Disco Night
The playhouse still has the little curtains in the window that I made during the summer. Doesn't it look all pretty with the snow!
Sadie, just think...she is ORANGE! Now, say it like Bear Bear. SHE'S ORANGE! Just think...she likes food, she is trying to get on the deck for something on the grill. So cute.
This is the new screen that Dad and Courtney installed right before the Super Bowl. Yes...it is a major shock that Peggy allowed this type of thing to happen. All she required is that the hooks got painted to match the ceiling and it was a done deal. Way to go mom.
This was our feast for the Super Bowl. Courtney made dinner, Tri-tip sandwiches. He ate these all the time in California. They were really good.
Are BYU students really all that intelligent? Sometimes I wonder. I took these next two pictures one right after the other. This picture...no one is in the car. The car is in the middle of the road. Yes...this is not a parking spot. I went up to get a closer look. I thought that maybe someone was waiting for someone...Or something. Nope. Someone thought they would create their own little nook! So smart.
In this picture...there are two cars...the car at the angle and the car facing sideways. What are people thinking? Sometimes I wonder. I still have to post my collection of pictures of suspicious minivans. Yes...I have quite a few. There seems to be quite a few of them in Provo/Orem.
I absolutely love the snow. Here is our lovely home covered in snow. I love it!
Look at how much snow we got. This was after they plowed our circle, of course, but still there was a lot of snow. I had to drive back to Provo right after this picture was taken, but I still was nonetheless excited about the snow.
Dad is a nut! He did this little ballet move. Very smooth.
This is a date that I went on. It was so much fun. I went with Mark. I work with him. Next to us is Kristine and David, and Rachel and Ben. We went snow shoeing up in the Canyon somewhere. I think it was called Vivian Park. I had a blast. Mark and I found a whole bunch of little snowcaves. We tried to break them, but they were way too strong. I learned how to run in snow shoes...pretty impressive! It's all about the technique baby! Everyone should try this sometime!

These next few clips were some of my favorties. When I was in Salt Lake. I was wandering around Temple Square getting pictures. I ran into some sister missionaries...they told me about a concert that was going to start within minutes. It was the "Interfaith Musical Tribute to the Human Spirit" This past week was dedicated to President Gordon B. Hinckley. Governor Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. was there to offically declare the Interfaith week dedication. It was so amazing. People from all over the world(Tonga, Egypt, India, etc.) were there to perform different music songs and dances. It was really touching. There were adults and even children in different choirs. There were about 22 different performances. It was truly amazing. At the very end, all the performers and all of the congregation sang a song together called, "Let There Be Peace on Earth". It was very tender. It showed how much President Hinckley was loved and appriciated not only by our church but many other people of differents faiths. The majority of the people there were not members of the LDS church. I had fun talking with many different people. I also talked to many of the sister missionaries. Needless to say, I enjoyed my evening in Salt Lake City. I ended my night and saw the Christus.(Sorry...I don't know how to spell very well.) Here are two of my favorite clips from the concert. I would have taken more, but my camera died.
"Dholna". This dance was done by the Sri Gansha Hindu Temple & India Cultural Center.
This was a drum line dance called "Shinki Itten" performed by the Buddhist Taiko Drummers of the Buddhist Church of Ogden. The sound on this clip is not that great, but I assure you that this performance was spectacular.
