Today our family participated in our city's Yeti winter games. It's an event hosted by the city to raise money for the volunteer fire department. Hayden and Tucker entered the junior sled racing and as a family we participated in the snow sculpture contest... and won! We had a lot of fun and plan on doing it again next year.

Gage unfortunately burned his fingers on the heater, but fast thinking mom
ran him outside and stuck his hand in the snow.

We have been in our new home a month now and we are still working on unpacking boxes. My goal is to be done by my birthday, as a present to myself : ) Today we went by our old house and retrieved sand toys and other items from the backyard that had been buried in snow until this week. Down in Spanish Fork the snow has vanished, where up in Woodland Hills we still have 2 feet in our yard. If we want to have grass to play on before May, we'll probably have to shovel it into the neighbors yard (j/k).
The kids are still going to school in Spanish Fork, so I go back and forth 3 times a day, which makes for a lot of carpooling. I am looking forward to next year when all the kids will be riding the bus.
We love our new neighborhood. The houses are all on an acre of land, so we have lots of room and privacy. The first week after our move, Mason had a hard time understanding that he couldn't just walk around knocking on doors asking if he could play. There isn't a lot of spontaneous play, but rather you have to set up play dates.
The people here are wonderful. When Gabe came to unload the moving truck, 6 men showed up to help. Then they all followed him back to S.F. to help load up the truck again and then back to Woodland Hills to unload it.
There are 4 families here that are originally from Upland and who were good friends with Dick and Deon's family. So it has been fun meeting them and hearing about old connections.
Today we had our warmest day in months, 60 degrees. We were able to spend some time outside together and get some winter yard work done.
