This past weekend was a long busy one. Friday we headed down to see George and Harriet, they came up for the weekend. We had fun playing some laser tag. Ky played the night before during his guys night and kicked butt. I think he wanted to see if that could last! I royally kicked his butt the third game! We had a fun night and even took Ash with us. Harriet and Ash had never played before but they had fun. Harriet is quite the sneaky shot! Mar ended up sick and didn't make it with us. We are definitely going to do that again. I hadn't been to that place before and it was so neat, they even have a cute mini-golf course, we will take the girls to that. Then we headed home to pack and get ready for the rest of the weekend. Saturday morning we headed over to the dog derby. I really enjoyed it last year, but this year it wasn't as crowded- nice. The girls competed in the snow shoe race. Kaite can really move! Here are some pics.
Maybe we should have said she was 5, she was so much smaller than the other kids!
Ash
We watched some of the teams come in.
Ash's friend Bj racing one of the dogs.
Then we headed up to the cabin for the rest of the weekend. Imagine our surprise to find this!
The girls having a snowball fight with George while the rest of us were digging out.
Kami wanted to go for a ride.
We spent the next couple of days playing in the snow and hanging out playing games. Ticket to Ride was a big hit. We played that one late into the night. George and Harriet brought presents for the girls. Kami had a ball! She is so girly!
We left Monday a little worried about what we would find when we got home. It turns out there was a big storm while we were gone. Yep, we barely made it home. The highway was closed and there were spots that I can't believe we made it through hauling a trailer with both sleds on it. When we did get home we discovered about 18 inches of new snow (that was what Steve measured). We cleaned up and then played the rest of the day. The girls had fun sledding off the deck.
We also played in the field, there wasn't as much powder there.
Kaite is all about the speed. She likes to ride with daddy because he goes fast!
Kami is such a ham!
We had a fun crazy weekend. I had know idea we were going to end up with all that snow and we have been getting more since. I was so ready for spring!!We have also taken to watching Idol again. I have my faves picked already and it is a girl year for me. I like Lauren, Julie, and Pia. There are a few guys that are okay but the girls rock this year. I am not sure who Ash's fave is yet, she always likes so many. She is counting down until she can try out for Idol, hope she doesn't get her singing from me!!! I have also enjoyed watching Jimmy Kimmel's Steven Tyler's creepy leer of the night hilarious!! We have had to screen the show this year, while Tyler is so entertaining he isn't always appropriate for an eight year old.
Our other big news, maybe biggest news as of lately...Ky got accepted to BYU. He actually got denied for fall, then appealed, and they bumped him up to this spring. So, he starts school in a couple of months. He has decided to go back and do the architecture program. BYU has a good associates degree and then we will see what comes next. We have plans but are still open to anything. He has been considering this for awhile now, but recently felt that it was the time. I was a little apprehensive at first but I am really excited for him. The more we look into the programs the more exciting it is. There are some big changes coming to our household. Ash seems to be the one least excited, but Kaite is on board. This is just one of many reasons why our house has been a stress fest lately. I am really hoping things will calm down, and now our plans seem to be on track. We are hoping that maybe he can graduate even earlier now that he is starting next month. He already has quite a few credits, but it will depend on how and when he can take the architect classes.
And no Missy and Marianne I am not pregnant, which is what you two always think of first!

Hey be honest! You thought the same thing I ever posted we had good news!
YEAH for KYLE!!! That's great news! That will be such a blessing! That would be a fun degree to have!
Looks like you guys always have tons of snow, but that you cope with it well. Of coarse, the snow is much funner when you have a snow machine to play with :-)
