We were thrilled to wake up Monday morning to a lovely layer of white outside! We have been waiting all winter for some decent snow to play in and finally got some.
Dax's brother Matt called that morning and was as giddy as a little boy on Christmas about the snow. He and his wife, Abbey came over and made Derek the digital snowman.
Dax took the kids and me to work with him last week. We had some boxes of live turkeys from Southern Utah that were to be transplanted to Northern Utah by Bear Lake. So the bottom photo is of Dax and his co-worker opening the boxes and you can see one turkey flying out. It was pretty cool. Then we went over and walked around on the frozen Bear Lake (top photo). We had fun. This job is probably more exciting than a lot of jobs out there!
I love February. It is the month of my birthday and also Valentine's Day. I love thinking about people I love! And here is the guy that tops the list. I know it is maybe cheesy or too sentimental, but it's true! We have very few photos of us together so I especially like this one that was taken the other day. We are just relaxing and having a good time together. It is so nice to do that sometimes.
The other day I was talking to my sis on the phone and Preslie comes in the front room dressed like this and starts singing spring songs and dancing all around. The paper taped to the TV is a sunshine she drew. It was so darling and I just wanted to squeeze her because this winter has been so cold for us in Logan and there hasn't been any good snow to play in. Anyway, I think her dancing and singing worked because the next day it warmed up and the snow is gone and it has been raining for the last 2 days. I am not getting my hopes up too high, though, anyone who has lived in Cache Valley for a while knows that fake-outs happen all the time, but it sure has been nice!
We enjoyed watching Dax play in a great game of church basketball today. That is him in the middle shooting the ball. They played a tough game and were ahead until the last quarter when our ward's guys started running out of gas because they didn't have very many guys show up. Everyone had a great time, though--the guys really love playing and they are pretty good, too! 
The kids and I went to Hardware Ranch today to work with Dax. It really wasn't work for us, we just sat in the warm truck while he did all the hard stuff. Then, we got to go on a wagon ride to see all the elk.
It is so weird being this close to the elk. They are not even scared! Why would they be if they are getting fed, I guess!
