Baby It's Cold Outside

Dallin shoveling the "new fallen snow".

Chaden and Kabrynna before school.
He just couldn't wait to dive in the pile of snow.

It has been so COLD!! I am not just saying that because I have Arizona blood still. I was watching the news the other night and in Eagle Mountain is was -18 degrees! What the heck?!! My kids have loved the snow, and of course Dallin just can't get enough. He has to go and shovel every 10 minutes. I can not get myself excited about it all (sorry to some of the Stephens' that are ski bums). It feels miserable and I can't get myself to want to even go out there. HELP!! I guess I should learn to love it. I don't remember it being so cold. I will quit crying now. We had our first decent snow this week. It actually has stayed on the ground, (it couldn't be from the negative degrees we have). Kabrynna said she made a snow angel at recess. Doug has been FREEZING his rear off. He complained so much about the heat in Arizona, and now I am sure he would take the heat over the bloody cold in a heart beat. I hope that teaches him not to complain anymore. We've been given a trial now to overcome the cold. I am kidding. All it I have to say is, "Baby, it's cold outside!"

A Continuation...

We are the Iund girls minus a few.

Thanksgiving '09

Dallin had a little too much fun on trax.

This was absolutely beautiful with the nativity on the water.

Our family all bundled up at Temple Square. We each had on 2 to 3 jackets.

The Rodabough's and us!

Doug and Dallin. Dallin was so thrilled to be on the train.


My little princess!


The boys. Braving the no holding on while on trax.

Guess who?

Doug, Dallin and Cyler!

Kabrynna and Brylee

Halloween '09

Chaden was to cool to trick-or-treat this year.

Cameron and our family the night before he went to the MTC.
We miss you Cam Bam!

So , we have had some happenings. I just didn't want to bore you all with a 10 page entry. So, I decided I would break it up every few days. Anyway, in September we found out that my brother Evan and his wife Lindy are going to have another baby!!! I was thrilled. They told us on their son's 1 year birthday. In October, we went to the temple with my nephew, Cameron, who was receiving his endowments. It was amazing to be in Utah at that time to be there for him. Cameron left on his mission on October 21st. He again is serving in the Piura, Peru mission. Then of course we had Halloween. It was cold! I think that is when you really miss the warmth of Arizona. The kids had a great time though. Dallin wasn't quite sure how it worked and kept asking if we were going to go get the car. That was funny! In November, Doug and I celebrated our 14th anniversary. Who would of thought we'd make it 14 years...? Doug also received 2 callings in the church. He is the 1st counselor in the Sunday School presidency and on the Cub Committee. We had Thanksgiving in Centerville with the Iund side of our family. It was great to be with my grandparents. How I love them and I am so grateful I can be closer to them right now. So far in December, we went to Temple Square last for FHE to see the lights. Oh how the cold chills you to the bone. We were very layered that night. It was beautiful though. Dallin was so cute. He saw the Salt Lake temple and said, "I was in there and I was white!" How precious that he talks about the day we were sealed. He then asked if he could go in. I hope my kids always want to go into the temple. Doug is loving having a job! We are so grateful to his boss for giving us the employment we needed so badly! Chaden is doing well in school. He is making snowmen ornaments for the holiday store for the school. Kabrynna is also doing very well. She is a social butterfly so she is adjusting quite well. She loves her school teacher, Ms.Warner. She has lots of parties for the holidays in her class. Dallin is Dallin. He loves to hang out at the neighbors next door when he is working in his garage. He likes to ask "What are you doing?" I am sure Brad and Shelley miss having Dallin wandering into their garage and house. All in all things are going well. We love our neighborhood and love the home we are in. We are looking forward to getting more acquainted with those around us and reconnecting with those we may have lost touch with. We love and miss all of you in Arizona more than you will ever know! We hope all is well with everyone.
