Over Christmas break we had fun checking out the local indoor sea life at the Seaquest Aquarium in Layton. It's always fun to reconnect to our aquatic selves, even if we do live so far from the Ocean.
It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!! We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days. Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon. :D The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out. Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street before the kids have to walk to school.

The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah! She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preferenc...
Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project. He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn. It's important science.

It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
We came home to a HUGE blessing. Our house is still here and didn't sustain much damage. We just have to rebuild a portion of our fence and clean up dead branches and we are good to groove again. We don't have power yet, but I anticipate that it will come online soon. Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts. I know the Lord greatly blessed us on this one. We came home and made sure we gave a prayer of thanks for His mercy on us. We hope we can get out there and start helping folks who didn't fair as well as we did soon. Here are some pictures of our home:
