Winter is here?

Ok so the storm we got a week ago was supposed to be a big one. They were calling for up to 11 inches! We wake up the next morning and nothing. Then this week they were calling for 2 to 4 inches of snow and we get about 12 and they say last night we might get another inch or two. We wake up to this.........................








22" of snow and its still snowing! Lindsey hates the fact that its this bad. When I was shoveling her exact words were "ok thats ridiculous". She likes looking at it but not having to go out in it. I love it all! You just have to drive a little slower but how can you not love snow. It is so light. It has been so cold so there isn't any moisture in it at all. I can't wait to go take a shower get dressed and drive to work. (I might have to hit a couple parking lots on the way to make sure there aren't any donuts that need to be made)


Here are a couple more pics I took this morning.


This is just out from our back door on our fence.



My truck. Thats how high the snow is on our street. Thank you 4 wheel drive.




Lindsey's car. Ya don't think she will be making it out today. :)






This is the walkway I had to shovel out again this morning.



We both just hope we can make it to Utah on Saturday before the BYU football game starts at 6pm. Can't wait to spend the week (maybe more if it keeps snowing) down in Utah next week.

Thanksgiving part 2

Here's just a few more pictures from Thanksgiving. We will be heading down to Utah this Saturday and we'll have a ton more pictures then...we are kinda boring right now. OH! actually I have a story about last night...I had just gotten home from achievement days and as I pulled in I saw some guys forcing my neighbor into a truck, I waited for a minute and they had thrown him on the ground, so me being the big buff person I am :) I walked over and started yelling at them to stop, ya not very smart! But anyways they said they were his cousins and thats what cousins do and even my neighbor finally said he was ok, so I started walking away and heard him moan and one of the boys said "oh no he's bleeding, its not worth it" so I told them I was calling the cops, I called 911 and as soon as I did that they all left and my neighbor went inside and said thanks...kinda weird eh? About an hour later I headed back to the church for tithing settlement and saw my neighbors twin brothers and started talking to them, they said their cousin was trying to get their brother to come to young mens and thats why they were beating him up. The cousin was at the church too, he came up to me and apologized and felt like a total idiot! HAHA so did I, but at least I know my neighborhood is kinda safe, the only thing I have to worry about is STUPID BOYS!!!

Thanksgiving at the Sorensen's

This Thanksgiving we were planning on going down to Utah to celebrate it with my family, I was already going to be down there for the Celine Dion concert with Mallory but it got postponed :( so we decided we would both rather go down to Utah for Christmas since Mikey has never seen Temple Square with all the Christmas lights!! And Im sooo excited to see my Hunter and Tanner open all their gifts! So anyways we went down to Mikey's parents for a week, and we had a blast! Other than me being sick the first 3 days! Mikey went to the bishops storehouse and got some food storage done for us, Joann and I went shopping for Thanksgiving and got me some fabric so I could make another fleece blanket ( I think I'm addicted now) Mikey and his dad did a whole bunch of work around the house and got a whole lot done! Steve is going to do ortholastics (sp?) on me so I can finally get rid of my vampire fangs so we went to his old office and got that all taken care of. Wednesday we headed over to Mikey's grandparents house to help them bring their Christmas boxes down the stairs, we got to visit for a while with them and had a blast! Gram even made us some awesome soup!! Then Thanksgiving came, we had about 25 people come over, had a fabulous lunch and had a great time! Friday after we tried to go to Joanne's fabric for some more fleece and decided it wasnt worth waiting in line for like 3 hours!!! crazy! We also went and cut our very own Christmas tree!! it was sooo fun!


Yep he's making me do the hard work :)

Vegas!!

This last week we got to go to Vegas for Mikey's customer appreciation. We left early wednesday morning and came back late Friday night. While we were there they went golfing while I drove the cart (I didnt drive it into the water like the rest of my family like to haha ERIC!) They even let me hit a few balls! It was a gorgeous course surrounded my HUGE homes overlooking the Vegas Strip. We ate lunch at Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville haha!! so weird! We also got to walk down the strip a little bit on Friday, and it reminded us both why we hate going to Vegas! But we had a great time and really didnt want to come back to the freezing weather but its good to be home
