Snow and Lazy Reading Days

I guess I've been pretty lazy with my blogging lately. So, sorry about that.

It snowed here on Sunday which was definitely odd since it's the desert, but you KNOW we had to go find some snow to play in! They closed the mountain (Like they always do on the day it snows) So we decided to go up to the foothills to play. Well, we drove to the foothills and all that was there, was rain. So, we kept driving. And driving. And driving. Until we got to Saddlebrooke. The same amount of time it would have taken us to get up Mt. Lemmon, but it seemed like it took a whole lot longer....Anyway, we ended up in a retirement community of sorts and I'm not entirely sure we were supposed to be there. But there was another family with young kids (who were also, undoubtedly, not supposed to be there) So, I figured if we get yelled at, we ALL get yelled at!

Here are some pictures of our fantastically snow-tastic day!

Snow capped mountains with cacti? Seems weird to me too...

Jordan with his very 1st snowman!

Chowin' down on some snow.

Uh oh!

Mom and I were making him a "snow seat" and he got snow flung on his nose :)

Grandma and Bug with the aforementioned "snow seat"

A date to remember!

About to touch the snow cactus...OWEE!

HA HA!! Had to throw this one in here. He loves me. Can't you tell?!

It was so much fun and one of the best spent Sundays I've had! It was nice to get to do something new again.

On a sidenote **Jordan and I went to Bookman's the other day and I randomly picked up a book at the side of the checkout line. It's called "Mommy By Mistake" and it was wonderful. I have a horrible time finding books that I like. So it was a surprise to me that I really enjoy a random pick up. Anyway, I finished it in 2 days? Maybe 3. And I actually found myself slightly panicking when I was nearing the end. That's how I know I've found a good book!

I'll definitely be on the lookout for more of her!
