Bekah's Grand College Adventure - BYU BOUND!!!

-
August was a month filled with lots of conflicting emotions.  We have loved summer and are excited to start another school year of learning and growth, but it also means we are saying good-bye to Rebekah and starting a new normal in our home as she moves to Provo for college.  She beings her grand college adventure in the College of Engineering Cybersecurity.  Dustin, Maeve, Diana and I all got to help Rebekah move into her new dorm room in Helaman Halls.  She's staying in the same Hall I did over 20 years ago.  Time flies too fast.  Rebekah decorated her side of the room to perfect, Dustin and Rebekah set up the ultimate computer workspace at her desk, and Grandma Phillips has had so much fun remembering her wonderful college years at BYU too.  It's so fun Rebekah can share in our now 4 generations strong tradition of learning and growth at BYU.  Bekah's going to have a wonderful experience!  I miss her so much!!

 
Before she moved to Provo, Diana and I got to ride the UTA Frontrunner train roundtrip from Ogden to Provo and back again with Rebekah.  It was our test ride to see how easy it will be for Rebekah to take advantage of her free bus pass and come home to visit occasionally.  :) We had a great girls' day of it.  Yea for trains!

Soaking up every moment we can get with Rebekah before she moves to college

It's About Time We Got Some Snow Around Here

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 kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

We Returned to a Blessing

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:
