Oquirrh Mountain Temple Progress

Just an update on how the Temple is coming along in the neighborhood. The original estimate for completion was/is January of next year. However, they apparently are importing the exterior stone from China and that may push things back to March. . . . (coming from someone who deals with contractors a lot makes it sound like the contractor is trying to buy more time). I guess we'll see. Buildings usually take a little longer than estimates predict.

Easter Egg Hunts 2, 3, 4 & 5

So, as you might imagine, I did not take pictures of all the easter egg hunts the kids had this year. Easter egg hunt #2 happened Saturday morning at our house. Hunt #3 was at Marthe's parents church with the Winterton portion of the family. Hunt #4 was inside at grandma Lael's house and #5 was outside at grandma Lael's house. They had lots of fun.

The First Easter Egg Hunt

Well, you can't let Easter pass by without several easter egg hunts.Our neighborhood had a flashlight easter egg hunt last night.It was pretty fun. We found a bunch of easter eggs and lost one of Sadie's socks and one of the flashlights. . . but it was fun.

Snow Ordinary Sunday

Well, we had quite a bit of snow today.
They only did sacrament meeting for church.
We let the boys go out and play in the snow since 24" of snow is not a typical occurance. It also allowed me to help some of my neighbors get out of their houses.
I spent most of the day shoveling walks, driveways, alley entrances/exits etc so people could get out when they needed to. We're supposed to get hit with another bit of snow this evening.
Some of the neighbor dads shoveled snow and made a snow mound/cave tunnel.
The kids had fun on it for a while.

Sadie is about 24" tall, so you can see how much snow there was.

The pile behind her is the fresh snow on the ground and not the stuff shoveled off of the sidewalk. It was windy, so some of the drifts got up to 4' high against some people's houses.

Below is a typical pile of snow from a very small driveway.

We had to get creative with where we put the snow.

We only have about 2 feet on each side of our driveway before you hit a vinyl fence.

I did not want to pack a lot of snow against the fence, so I opened the gate to our back yard and now there is a similar pile in our back yard.

I'm going to be very sore tomorrow.
