So it's been awhile, but we are still here, alive and kicking--some days more than others. January weather is always depressing for me and this year did not disappoint. We spent a few weeks in a deep inversion with temperatures not rising above 20 degrees. Last week, though, we got a bunch of storms and a break from the fog. They were warm storms so even though it was snowy, 35 degrees felt pretty nice. I am happy that January is almost over! February is the next of my least favorite months. I am all about decent weather.

It seems like we've spent the month watching basketball games--Zack's, Colin's, BYU's. Zack and Colin are both doing really well. Colin has surprised us all on the court with some quick moves and a little bit of aggressiveness (not usually typical of Colin). Colin is sure that he leads the league in blocks. He'll tell you, "Not bad for the shortest guy." We are enjoying watching all the games. Zack is trying snowboarding out and so far he thinks it is great. I only wish we could get him up there more. Maybe John should take it up....

McKena is keeping busy with dance and other girl things. Every day she asks to have a friend over--she is very social. She got her Grandma and Grandpa for her primary teachers this year and she is loving that. As far as sports, she tags along with us to the brothers' games.

Kade was asked to give a talk in primary last Sunday Well, as he is only 3 we kept it really short. Just a few lines--pretty easy, right? He said the first line and for some reason all the other Sunbeams got a case of the giggles. Kade couldn't finish his sentences because he kept giggling. Pretty soon the entire primary had a case of the giggles, even the leaders. Oh well... I guess I like the giggles better than tears.
