Snow Sculptures - 2018 - Week 4

On Saturday, M. Russell Ballard, Ronald A. Rasband, and Ulisses Soares had a training for stake presidents, Area Seventies, and Mission Presidents. The next day our stake had a stake conference with K. Brett Nattress. He taught about President Nelson and he operated on his brother's heart. He followed through with how President Nelson he has healed hearts physically for a career and now he will help heal hearts to come unto Jesus Christ. He also said that they as a family raised animals to raise children and had a commandment garden because the garden didn't grow very well.

Hurricane wanted to go to a fireside about a man who converted from Judaism about 4 years ago.

He talked about how experiences he had in life had brought him to the point of conversion. He shared that his father was a Jew, his mother was of a Christian faith, and Catholic nuns assisted at this birth. He said it was a very religious filled room. Hurricane enjoyed the fireside and was happy to be there. Evie Claire, who competed on American's Got Talent, sang at the fireside. She also sang at this man's baptism in Arizona. They have a special friendship.

On Sunday, we had snow. For Monday they had a delay start to school. Hurricane had books he needed to finish for school club that competes called Battle of the Books. Underfoot participates in a similar club and had questions to write for his team. For Battle of the Books, a participants reads 10 predetermined books and then competes against other schools in the area. We decided to have a Snow Day and read books all day. The boys enjoyed it. By bed, Hurricane had finished almost two books. He was put to bed at 8:30 pm. At 11:15 pm, he came to our bedroom and said he finished the second book. He liked the second book better than the other book.

We had a family come for supper and ate Carrot Chowder. The son kept saying how much he liked the soup. When the Mom got home, she asked for the recipe. We adjust the recipe every time we have it and added to the soup this time chicken instead of beef, cauliflower, onion, corn, chili powder, and turmeric.

The boys' school hosts a Doughnuts with Dad event. I went  the day before and helped pick up the food. The men went to the event that morning.

 They ate doughnuts, sat with their friends, and had doughnuts for lunch.

I helped and cleaned up and took the extra doughnuts to the police station.

The boys played in a basketball game. No one got hurt, and they really have improved from their first game.

The boys are really wonderful defenders. After the game we came home and prepared to go on an adventure.

Breckenridge Snow Sculpture were a lot of fun! We drove up and were grateful to be going the opposite direction of the traffic. When we arrived, we got on the free bus so we didn't have find a parking spot in town. The bus took 30 minutes to get to the drop off. It was cold. We were so happy to not have to walk the 2.5 miles to get there. When we arrived, all of us went to the bathroom. The women's line was considerably longer. While in line, I met one of the sculptors.

We walked around and saw these amazing sculptures.

They had a sculpture catered toward children with a trampoline and slide inside. Sweetheart found an iPhone X. We went to call the owner's Mom hoping that Siri was on and would call when another phone call came to the phone. It was the owner looking for it. He was really happy to get it back.

After we looked at the sculptures we got hot chocolate and came home. We had a lot of fun.

Be Well!
