We got a lot of snow last night. Too bad we don't have our 4 wheel drive car at the moment and can't go skiing! (I'm pointing fingers at you Tanners!) No, it's not their fault we're not skiing, but it is their fault that our car broke. We wouldn't be skiing right now even if we had it, but I wish we were skiing. Corey was driving home kinda late last night in Eliza's car (which we are so grateful to be able to use...) and he got stuck on the Wasatch boulevard hill by LaCaille. He thinks he could have made it if he hadn't had to slow down for the sliding cars in front of him. A few weeks ago I drove back during a snow storm, and was out shoveling when our neighbor was out too, he asked how the roads were, I said it was slick, then he said if we ever get stuck to give him a call. So I was grateful I remembered that kind offer last night when Corey called me. Rico was able to go pull Corey onto the road and get him home, and then I think he stayed and saved a few other people in their stuck vehicles. Snow snow everywhere, which was really too bad cause there was a lunar eclipse last night. I wanted to see it. I had it on the calendar, it was at 12:30 am, but we couldn't see it cause of the storm clouds. I did, however, notice the sky had cleared this morning and I was able to see the full moon setting this morning, and that was AMAZING. I walked over to a neighbor's back yard so I could see it better. Soooo pretty.
I don't know why, but I could just stare at the moon for hours, if it would let me. But instead the world keeps turning and the moon goes away. Sigh. I watched it leave.
...Then headed back to my blessed life. We were glad that Hyrum was able to arrive safely last night too! He didn't drive his car, he came down with his roommates. He was ok to do his classes today online, and he also had reached out to a few companies hoping to have some internship interviews today. So the internship thing was the main reason, but didn't get any responses and so has just ended up hanging out here, which is ok by all of us! Last night after he got home, Katharine was happy with him playing a game with a big lego slide, and the upside down ice cream bin was the trampoline. H said it was a bit boring to play, but he's doing a scientific experiment to see if K will be nice to him and accept him during his whole time here this weekend.
So that was the price he had to pay to earn her love. He's funny. Trying to follow Hyrum's example, I played with Katharine today, as much as I could. I found her small lego studs while I cleaned the boys room, so that she could make her "picture" for me.
She was concentrating. This is what she usually does when she plays legos. This stud game and also the princesses going down a slide. It was nice having Hyrum here. It's always nice to have extra drivers and helping hands. Hyrum took Lily to her band in American Fork tonight, which was super helpful, and then he and Lily have been hanging out with Ethan & Bella and Mel & Christian. They are not sleeping over, but from life 360 I see they have not left yet (11:30pm). Corey and I had a date night at the temple for a Relief Society and Elder Quorum joint trip to do sealings. Corey and I and one other couple were the only ones from our ward there. I get it, it's hard to go on other people's chosen times. We actually would have rather gone some other time, but it was good. It was also crowded, so we didn't get out until late, and then restaurants were closed. We ended up getting sushi at Harmons and then headed back home. Kids were good, Abi was in charge. Time for bed. Oh, before I go, a few pics of K from yesterday, documenting what a quiet morning around the house looks like after all of her siblings are gone. Our messy kitchen.
Cute feet and toes, by the side window chairs where we like to look out the window.
And she took some really good selfies! I was impressed!
