A crazy week...


Hugh practicing his leap overs, he is still working on his foot placement. We spent the whole day at the Winter Feis in SLC, both boys did really well. 

I cannot believe that Hugh is this grown up, but I sure had fun watching he and his brother perform.  Their hard work really paid off with improved dances all the way around.


After Sunday's snow storm the sledding made for a great Family Home Evening, we met the Garn's and Neal's for some epic sledding on the hill.  The little boys built a great jump!

Tuesday in the very early hours the snow pounded and the wind blew, the hill drifted like I have never seen it.  The roads were not bad but we could not get to them:(

The kids had to redig the goats out, those babies of Travis' were screaming all day!

The driveway had to be shoveled again.

Hugh spent most of the day in soaking wet snow clothes, happy as aclam!

Craig Garn showed up with the ultimate snow plow!  I am still trying to figure out how to repay his kindness.

Gotta love those friends with tractors!


Liam waiting to hear the results of his 'trophy' dance.  They are for fun and you don't move a dance but can win a trophy, the girl who won beat him by one point!  But Hugh told him the second place trophy was still awesome!

I took one picture of Hugh competing before they announced no pictures (I had forgotten that rule).

Liam receiving his trophy.
It was one of those crazy weeks with huge snowdrifts, wonderful neighbors, cabin fevered children, cancelled events, major sledding, and capped off with an Irish dance competition.  Hugh was great at it and Liam moved three dances up a level, way to go boys!  I am wrapping this week up with a terrible head cold and what I am hoping is simply a case of major exhaustion and not a 'real' illness.  Brenton is busy studying for EMT class or is it fire officer class?  And getting ready for a few ride alongs...and I will admit that I am ready for Spring even though it is only February.  I hope this coming week is a bit less hectic or at least a bit less stressful as regards to being drifted in and driving on ice..I do have a few pictures of Liam at the feis on my phone that I will try to post later.
