Fun in the Snow

For the 3 day weekend we went to Preston, Idaho (home of Napaloen Dynamite) with our friends who have family that live there. We had a really fun time. We did some snow mobiling, snow shoeing, and playing of games. I haven't done any activities that consist of going out side and staying outside for longer than it takes to get to my car for the past I don't know how many winters, so it was fun to actually enjoy winter for a change.




Here is us snow shoeing on V-day, it was such a nice day and I was wearing so many layers I actually had to start taking them off and this view was so pretty.



Here are the husbands trying to get one of them un-stuck. The snow was so deep in some places, it was crazy.

Penny's Visit




















So, my little sister Penny came to Utah this weekend to audition for the BYU music piano program. I took the day off on Friday from work to hang out and do girly stuff. We did each other's nails in the morning and then Penny finished up some last minute college scholarship applications while I went and got my hair cut. That afternoon we went to lunch, shopped for Prom dresses, and saw the chick flick, Leap Year. That night we played our new favorite game, Ticket to Ride, which me and Ryan play every sunday night together but some how manage to get beaten by any new comers we teach it to including Penny, twice. We also played some Wi tournaments of Tennis, me and Penny are actually pretty evenly matched but Ryan is practically unbeatable at Tennis. Saturday morning I took Penny down to Provo to BYU and let her roam the campus while me and Ryan went to Draper for Ryan's sister's wedding. After the ceremony we headed back to BYU to pick up Penny unfortunatly we did not get there in time to hear the audition:( After that we had just enough time to grab a bite to eat, change & freshen up for the wedding dinner and reception. Ryan made an awesome wedding video for his sister & fiancee Jake but they couldn't get the audio to work on the projector screen at the reception place so unfortunatly they just had to play it on a small tv and it was hard to hear. He also played the piano for a song Jake made and sung to Erin and did an awesome job on that too. Such a creative guy. The reception was at a Nursery (garden place) so we amused ourselves by having a mini photo shoot.

Also, I need help from the face book experts, I tried posting these pics on face book but I'm not sure they showed up on the wall. Can you guys see them on face book on the wall? How do I do it, just attach some pics on the main wall thingy? I just don't want to re-post them if they are already there.
