The weather outside is....

Constantly changing!!! About a week and a half a ago we had a huge snow storm. We got at least a foot of snow in about 5 hours...it was rediculous. And there is something about South Weber that causes us to get way more snow than anyone else. Here is the tree in out front yard...I think it looks so cool covered in snow:
And this is our back/side yard. Those are trees behind the swing set, not bushes. There was so much snow, the trees were bent over to the ground.

Jackson absolutely loves being outside no matter the weather.
Doesn't he look cute in his snow bibs?After being buried in snow, we were blessed with a few days of nice, warm, sunny weather. I have been so grateful for the nice weather...both Jackson and I get cabin fever, so it has been so nice to be able to get outside.

We even made it to the park. All of the parks in our neighborhood are still buried in snow, so we went to the duck pond in Layton with our nieghbors.

I usually dont really mind the winter, but now that I have a child, I just cant wait until spring so we can be outside more!

All about me!

So because Jackson is pretty much all I blog about, here is a post all about me! As promised, here are some pictures of the bag I made:It was so fun to make. I love the feeling of accomplishment after taking pieces of fabric and turning them into something you can use and like! I had a bunch of fabric left over and I made a wallet using a pattern my friend showed me online (thanks Cambria). The flowers on the front are already starting to fray, so I am trying to come up with anther way to make them.
It needs some work, but now that I have made one, and taught myself how to install a zipper I am going to try again.

This past Saturday Devon and I "competed" in a team triathlon. We were actually on different teams but we both did the swimming leg. We were both so nervous which was silly because it was just for fun and we only had to swim 500 yards (10 laps (down and back=one lap)). I actually surprised myself and swam it about a minute and a half faster than I thought I would and ended up finishing 6th out of 30 swimmers.

So there you have it...a post all about me!

Melissa's Devil Tag

My sister Devon tagged me on her blog so here it goes...

1. Go to my documents/pictures.
2. Go to my 6th file folder.
3. Go to my 6th picture.
4. Blog about it.
5. Tag 6 people to do the same.Is it bad that I was hoping it wasn't a picture of Jackson? It just seems like he is all I ever blog about so I was kind of hoping this tag would give me inspiration to blog about something else. Oh well. So this picture was taken on October 1st. That was actually the day that Jackson took his first step. I love that this picture really captures the chubbiness of his cheeks.

I tag Marguerite, Kirsten, Cambria, Chennell, Rachel, and Lisa.
