Snow Day!

Winter finally decided to make its appearance yesterday! 

The nice part is that our sitter had to have some dental work done yesterday (that's not the nice part :)) so I had already planned to stay and work from home (that's the nice part). And it's a good thing because we got we got a good 6-8 inches! In fact, we apparently got more snow yesterday than January, February, and March... c o m b i n e d!

We just had to take Nolan out in the morning to let him experience his first snow and snap some pictures (well I had to, Justin was dragged out of his bed ;)).

 

  Nolan's favorite toys right now seem to be his burp cloth, a pack of wipes, and the Giants cup we use for bath time. I say we don't bother buying any more toys, our wallets will thank us.

Somehow the mohawk disappeared yesterday! Don't worry though, I think it's back today. Although his hair is getting longer all the time so we'll see how long it lasts. I will be sad to see it go :(.

He's still cute though, even without it!

He loves to pull burp cloths and blankets up over his face. It's a little nerve-wracking because we want to make sure he can breath, but it's funny at the same time.

I promise he was supervised during this playtime with his blanket haha. Silly kid!

This one might just be one of my favorite pictures yet!

A quick, unrelated, and non-Nolan story...

Justin and I finally made it to the temple on Tuesday night. We went with some of the YW leaders and their husbands to do sealings. One of the leaders, Kara, couldn't come since her husband works late, so she offered to watch Nolan for us so we could go. So sweet of her! Anyway, the weather was absolutely CRAZY on Wednesday with major dust storms and 65 mile an hour winds! It was dusty and windy as I left Provo, then about at Point of the Mountain it was this really muddy rain that made it hard to see, then by the time I got closer to home it was snowing! Thanks Utah. Needless to say, the drive home was stressful. I picked Nolan up and rushed him inside in the rain, quickly changed my clothes, and headed to Kara's grandma's house (where she, her mom, and sister would be watching Nolan). Anyway, since I had never been there before, and was actually given the wrong street name :), I got lost. Plus there was a snowstorm going on! Plus we hadn't quite finished our taxes yet! Plus I felt like the most horrible mom having Nolan with a sitter all day, then seeing him for about 5 min before dropping him off with another sitter! I hadn't even held him!

Ugh

I was so stressed and upset I just wanted to cry. I almost bagged the whole thing, but I knew we needed to go. 

 I finally made it downtown and was so relieved to see Justin. If we weren't in such a big hurry, and he wasn't dressed so nice, I would have given him a big hug and cried into his shirt for 15 min. :)

On the way in I saw my old friend Aaron H from the singles ward, and then we saw the Gisseman's and Dan S who we play softball with. In fact, we just had a game the night before! So fun to see good friends at the temple. My grandma had given us 20 names (10 sealings) to do which was so great. In fact when I talked to her that morning she said my timing was amazing because she had just sent in a bunch of names but had decided to hold these sealings back 'just in case.' She's the best!

So anyway, you guessed it. Even with all the stress of getting there, we were SO glad we went!
