Our 'spring' weather!

Here is what was on the news as snow totals for yesterday:  The storm is winding down...however, Alta has received nearly 40" of snow and Bountiful has had between 17 and 18.5 inches of snowfall...while Beaver received 18 inches and East Millcreek with 12.5 inches, Cottonwood Heights 14.5 inches, Northeast Ogden with 11 inches and Farmington recorded 10 inches. 

Let's see, Lisa works between East Millcreek and Cottonwood Heights.........
We have just had LOTS of snow!!!  I don't want it to be 90 or higher, but 60 to 75 would feel nice :)

Spring in Utah

As I walked outside this morning, there were these two little dandelions, their bright faces bravely looking up as huge flakes of snow were falling.  Today they are buried under a few inches of snow. Perhaps they will disappear, and come back when it is a bit warmer outside.  Even though they are dandelions, their cheery yellow heads made me think of spring.......

Using Lisa's computer

Look at the cute flower garden Lisa made for me for my birthday.........I love it!  I can take pictures with my camera, but I have to download them onto Lisa's computer.  Very annoying!!!  Time for a new computer for me, I guess.  Anyway........happy birthday to me!!!

I have some new pictures on my camera, but they won't download to my or dad's computer.  Sad.  Other than that I have just been sick.

Still no pictures

Well, I got a new camera for Christmas, plus lent cameras from Kristen and Annie, but I can't get the pictures off onto my computer.......so now that I have 3 cameras, I still have no pictures. :(  [Not even with the card inserted straight into the computer.......I can see the pictures, they just won't STICK in my computer.]
We just went to Portland and had a fantastic time.  All the kids are so cute and sweet.  Great food to eat.  Fun company to be with.  Nice rain.  If you want to keep a few young boys occupied for a weekend, buy them Beyblades.  Jarom and Cade played with them for 2 days solid!  It was pretty cute.  Dylan even enjoyed it!
A good time was had by all.
