Spring...?

It has been feeling a lot like Spring around here lately until last Saturday when we had another snowstorm! I have to admit I wasn't exactly thrilled when the flakes started coming down, but my frown was quickly turned upside down when we made our sweet snow sculpture! The snow was perfect for packing and it was still warm outside so it ended up being an ideal snow sculpting day. We've been wanting to make the Lake Champ sea monster all winter but the snow has been too powdery or it's melted before we had a chance to finish it. This time the conditions were perfect! We had to use all of the snow in my parents front yard but it turned out really cool! The little kids building a snowman across the street thought we made it look pretty amazing

anyway. :) Casey makes everything fun.

We put food coloring and water in a spray bottle to paint it green with yellow fins. We take our sculpting very seriously.

I love how happy Casey looks in this one. He was very proud of our creation.

I think I may be sensing a little bit of jealousy here... ;)

Our creation was finished in a record time of only 30 minutes. We were on our way back from playing basketball at the church (hence the shorts) and made it really quick before we went inside for dinner. We had yellow and green dye all over our hands so we were trying to be careful not to touch each other. The finished product!!

These are some pictures from a quick trip to the St. George temple with my mom and dad. We did baptisms while they went through a session and then they took us to Golden Corral for dinner. So much food that was so delicious!

My dad is kind of silly sometimes. :)

Climbing Footage!

Last week I finally got some bouldering videos of me to post on my blog. I'm definitely not as impressive as Casey but I think I'm getting much better than when I first started out. The first two videos are from Tuesday when we went to Moe's Valley which is right outside of St. George and the last one is from Joe's Valley which is by Price. We (Casey and I) drove up there last weekend with our friends Tommy, Bridget and Page. It was fun despite the fact that I was suffering from a sinus infection and inner ear infection and had been sick all week. I was so dizzy and tired I thought I was going to die doing the problem in the video, so it took me a long time and if you listen closely you can hear me grunting and groaning :) but I made it! The top out took me forever because I was so exhausted. Bouldering was probably not the smartest idea since the doctor told me to avoid climbing ladders or anything where I might potentially fall... I decided I would be ok because I knew there were crash pads and spotters below me.
