WEEK in REVIEW...




Its SNOWING in Las Vegas!  As one of my relatives said, "h___ really IS freezing over!! Ha ha... -- So on the way to take the kids to school this morning, I saw at least 3 people outside with their cameras taking pictures of the snow- yes, it is that rare of an occasion here! SO I decided to join in and document the occasion!  It's a rare thing that we pull out the "Utah" coats of yesteryear--We are soooo excited to see some snow!! We miss it around Christmastime, but other than that- we are fine living without it!  Especially driving in it!  That's another funny thing seeing the "Vegans" try to drive in the snow!  Anyway- now it finally feels like Christmas here!  YEA!!  

In other news:  RIch and Heidi welcomed Baby Natalie to Las Vegas last week!  YEA!!  She is so cute!  We have been to see her twice and she is just beautiful!  We are so excited to have a "girl" cousin in the ranks here in Viva!  Spence and Sammy came and played on Saturday and the girls had a great time with them!  They are so cute and so excited about their new sister "Madalie"  :)

Another update:  Matt went to the orthopedic surgeon last week to get the low down on his knee... it's a torn medial meniscus and YES, he will have to have surgery.  We are shooting for sometime in January- poor Matt!  It's been a bummer for him his senior year to be missing out on the sports, but we are hoping that if things go well, he can still run track!   So keep your fingers crossed for him!

I am recovering pretty well and feel about at 90% full capacity these days!~ YEA!!! It's great to be healthy again!  I have learned so much the past few months about patience and appreciation for the simple things in life!!  I have gained some new insight into "opposition in all things"  ~ It really is amazing how much I appreciate being able to be healthy!!  Thank you so much to everyone who helped me during this time- family members, friends, ward members and most of all DAVE- he has been awesome to put up with me and take care of me when I really needed it!  I LOVE YOU DAVEY!!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS YA'ALL!!!  :)

You have more snow than we do in Utah. But I bet you didn't go skiing on Saturday.

Bummer about Matt's knee! I'm so sorry. That will be good to get that taken care of and feeling back to normal eventually.

Les, I'm glad you're feeling better. I wish I could have been down there to help you out. I'm glad you're feeling better, too.

Very cool on the snow! We had a TON today at the resort, and blowing, BLOWING winds-- a -15 degree wind chill on the summit, and a very long and snowy drive home... it took 2 hours.

Can't wait to see all of you at Christmas!

That's to bad Matt, hope you can run. I tore a ligament in my shoulder a couple of weeks ago while mountain biking so I was out for a little bit. It sounds like yours is a lot worse, hope your get better.

SNOW!!! Isn't it great!! We too finally got some, and we are just dying to make a snowman! It finally feels like Christmas. I bet that was a fun surprise!

Les I am SO glad you are feeling better-kinda! We are jealous you get to be there with the new babe! --Good luck Matt with the knee--thankfully it can get fixed. Hats off to Lindsey and Katie--so fun to see the pictures!
