Snow Day?!?!?!


So this past sunday, as we were waking up to start getting ready for church, we got a phone call from someone in the ward saying not to worry about having to do the sunday school lesson because all meetings were cancelled. Confused and not sure I heard him right I looked outside and was surprised to see a ton of snow! (a lot for Eugene at least). It was pretty exciting and fun, although weird not to go to church. John and I have both lived in Rexburg, ID and John went on his mission to Wisconsin and never had chuch cancelled. We figured it was because no one is used to snow here and the roads get pretty icy, especially in the hills where a lot of people from our ward live. So, we put Jack's snow boots, hat, coat and gloves on him and let him loose in our little courtyard at our complex. He had so much fun. At one point, he thought it was fun to find a fresh patch of snow and sit right in it, and then find another fresh patch and do the same thing over and over. And once we taught him how to make and throw a snowball he was unstoppable! It was like Buddy from the movie Elf. When we finally got cold and decided to go inside, Jackson cried because he wanted to stay our there all day! Here's some more pictures of the action:

Hey Steph, it has bee forever since I've visited your blog! Sorry!

I love the pictures of Jackson in the snow. I heard they canceled church in Eugene...that's so crazy!

And it's cute how he feeds himself. Easton always wants to but it's SO messy. I should just be a good mom and let him make a mess once in awhile I guess!
