 This guy was perched in our tree this morning.  After he left a red tail hawk came and landed in the same spot.

It was a beautiful winter wonderland outside when we got up this morning.  We had about 5" of snow.


  We were a little worried about Kim and Brian coming up but they made it just fine.  They stopped to take some pictures of the snow on the desert.



The boys and Ian had fun playing in the snow.  First they made a snowman, or snowwoman, whichever you prefer.  
Evan named him Mr. Smiley
I renamed "her" Mrs. Smiley
Evan, ready to go sledding
Evan and Max tied to the back of the Razr
And away they go!
A little scary, as there are big rocks out there.
They did have a great time though!

James made a trip to Walmart to get his hunting license.  He forgot two things: 1) the Swiss Miss hot chocolate that I asked him to get and 2) Sheri's Polar Pop from Circle K.  He was in trouble for awhile.
I played three games of Five Crowns and won two out of five.  I lost when I played Sheri and Ben, won when I played Sheri and Max, and won when I played Sheri and Kim.  
We watched more Christmas movies and The Mentalist.  We also had a little celebration for Kim's birthday.  I made here a Texas sheetcake.


I am feeling overwhelmed, unorganized and a little discouraged, inspite of my good company.
  I still have my cough so Diana said she would teach on Sunday for me.
James and I issued a Book of Mormon challenge to our children and grandchildren.  Anyone who read the Book of Mormon by April 5th, Easter, will earn $50.  That's reading about 5 1/2 pages a day.
