New Year's & the Family

I know this is a little late, but I thought I would share a little bit of my families visit over New Year's. My family was able to come out for a week and this is some of our adventures. My dad got a leather whip for Christmas so he brought it out to practice on. Trev, being the expert he is from his mission, gave it a whirl and got quite a few good cracks in there! I am sure our neighbors where wondering what the heck was going on!





Alyx got a new little puppy for Christmas and brought the cute little guy up. His name is Lord Rothwick Longfellow Percival, Percy for short. He is the cutest thing ever! And his sister was up for adoption, but Roger didn't think our back yard was ready for a dog just yet. :(



New Year's Eve the Town here put on some festivities so we thought we would go and check them out. They had fire pits where you could roast marshmallows and they provided all the "fixins" for smores, but we by the time we got their they were all out. But we did get in on some of their hot chocolate!







Other than that we stayed warm at home and played games. It was a great time and I loved seeing my family again. We also got the privledge to take Trev to the airport and I asked him to pose for me on the way down.




But then he was sweet and really smiled for me. :)






He is such a goof! Thanks mom and dad for taking the time to come and see us! We enjoyed having you and hope to see you again real soon!

Winter Storm Warning

So a few days ago we got a winter storm warning for the Prescott Area and we were so excited. We might actually get some snow! Well the next morning we did, and this is what we woke up too..










Needless to say, it was all melted within 5 minutes and the sky was beautiful and clear without a cloud in sight. Nothing like we remember in Utah or New Mexico. However, I can say that we do not own a snow shovel!
