The Final Day... BEAUTIFUL

Alright first i would like to share a couple of pictures from yesterday that were on my dad's camera...

Yet again more icicles because they are so cool!!

While we were getting ready to switch rooms i walked into my grandparents room to see what i could help with and this is what i saw!

Yes my grandpa puts each change of clothes (underwear, socks, pants, shirt) in an individual bag! It was hilarious i guess it saves time deciding what to wear and what's clean haha!

And of course as promised the coyote! it was so cool it was just walking down the road! Amazing!

So today was my last day i come home tomorrow (tear)

So in the morning my parents and grandparents came out with me! it was fun!

My grandparents went in before lunch so we stopped at the mid-gad restaurant to eat.

While we were there eating and relaxing my mother decided to take a nap! she was tired after all the complaining she was doing!

She will probably kill me for putting this up but whatever!! :)

Then we went out to mineral basin which is on the back side of the mountain! it was beautiful!

and as you can tell sooooo... crowded:)

The run that we normally came down was closed because of avalanche so we had to go down this crazy steep run! it doesn't look quite as bad from the picture!

The powder was really deep so when my mom fell it took her forever to get back up! While i was waiting i was getting really hot in the sun so i decided to lay down that cooled me off perfectly!!

The powder was so thick after the last few days of snow. If you fell down sometimes it was nearly impossible to get back up it was crazy!

In all it was a great trip! and no broken bones! ;) I don't know what everyone was so worried about!

Now it's back home and back to school sadly!! It's funny going away for a week really makes me miss my friends and church! I'm glad to be going back to those but not to school!

"It Looks Like You Have Dandruff"

Today has been a beautiful Day!!

I was very frustrated this morning because the plan was to go snowboarding today but because my mom wasted so much time that we would only have about an hour out on the slopes which was not worth the money it would be.

But it ended up an ok day! i forced us to go outside and walk around in the snow because i didn't want to just sit around.

Here are some pictures from the day!

I love icicles they are so pretty!

I promise there is a car under there somewhere and yesterday it was not covered in snow at all.

This was how much was on our car after digging it out and there was no snow on it when we left it last night!

It's incredible the difference that a day or two makes!!

This is the railing on a staircase on Tuesday I was able to actually use it and most years there is no snow on it at all crazy!

They shoveled a little walk way for us look how high the snow is from the actual ground!! incredible usually there is barely any!

Most years there is no snow at all here and you can see the brick ground even on wed when we were here walking around you could see the ground!
My mom insisted that we make her a muff for her hands so of course she has to wear.

So i was thinking about how incredible the Lord is today! yesterday the ground here was all ugly, muddy, pavement. Today it has been washed white with snow!

It's amazing that the Lord does that to us! He takes us as we are gross, dirty, and rough and He makes us white as snow! He gives us a clean slate!

It makes so much more of an impact when you actually see it!! It's amazing to see how much the Lord Loves us!

Oh and by the way i showed you a picture of one of the pools this is the other one that as you can tell is not open due to ah..... to much snow:)

Pictures so far!

Alright so my parents arrived here safe and my dad remembered to bring his sd reader so i have a few pictures... (maybe i should make them bigger oh well)

And keep in mind that i am not the photographer my sister is so pretend like the photography is much better :)

Overcast and stormy

Sunset yesterday was just beautiful i couldn't help but take a few pictures!!

The pool! yes we went in we always go in!

then suddenly it starts storming out of nowhere

Then a couple hours later it is nice again still snowing though!

There are a ton of blue jays they are beautiful! and every morning they come hangout on our balcony.

And when we came out to go get my parents we had to dig out the car! these pictures are after we dug it out. crazy!

BTW: most (all except the cars and the pool) of these pictures are the view from our window! It's absolutely amazing!! The Lord is such an artist I am amazed by the beauty He created each and everyday!

How great is our God!!

So the forecast for tonight is it is going to snow 11-17 inches tonight

hopefully it will clear up in the morning and we can go board tomorrow!

Grandparents are Hilarious!!

This is the absolute clearest it has been all day look i can actually see the mountain man i hope my dad brings his sd reader tomorrow and i can upload some pictures from my camera...

Today has been beautiful day! i love the snow! every part of it! so i didn't get to go out and snowboard today but i have had a very enjoyable day so far!!

I love my grandparents they are hilarious!! I understand now where my cousin Cameron and i get our OCD from!! my grandpa has to have everything perfect... he has gone down to check on the car about 10 time in the past 2 days to make sure that it's still there, to make sure it's not so packed in with snow that we won't be able to get out and well who knows why else he just does :) oh and he brought his wii so last night we hooked it up and did some bowling! it was fun!!

my grandma on the other hand every time i turn around she is rolling her eyes because of some strange thing my grandpa did! it's so funny to watch her reactions to his OCD things!! I love it! She has been writing her memoirs so every few minutes or so she goes oh did i tell you the story about... it's very fascinating i had learned alot for sure! haha and she of course doesn't know how to use a computer very well so i taught her how to double space without having to hit enter at the end of each line oh my gosh was she ecstatic!! it changed her life I'm sure! :)

They are also the most amazing Christians ever!!! I love it! this morning we did our devotions together and it was so awesome to hear what they had to say and how much they love the Lord!! Almost the entire week all we have talked about the Lord and how faithful He is and what He is teaching us and has been teaching us!! My grandma praises the Lord after everything! even little things like being able to walk stairs! It's also really cool to see their view on things like worship and CCCM and stuff it's very interesting!!

We just hung out this morning then hit the gym before lunch and then went swimming after lunch and now are just relaxing probably going to play some more wii something tonight!! my parents fly in tomorrow so that should be fun too!!!

oh and check this out it's so cool!

Perfect conditions Perfect timing!!

Alright today has been absolutely amazing!! I only did about 3.5 hours because i didn't want to wear myself out the first day! so i took it easy!


The conditions were perfect! there was just enough snow falling that it wasn't freezing cold and there was the perfect amount of powder that i could go down smoothly!! And there wasn't very many people which made it so nice not to have to dodge them all!!


I think sometimes I enjoy doing things alone more than doing them with other people! It gives me tons of Jesus time which is always awesome!!

I was able to go at my own pace and just relax it was so nice! exactly what I needed!!! The Lord showed me and taught me a lot today which is totally exciting and I a ton of time to just spend in communication with Him!


So if you have anything that needs prayer send it my way i have a lot of time to pray for it! I am so blessed that I was able to come!


No it's off to eat dinner and then my grandparents and I are going to do some bowling:)

alright so because i don't have my sd reader i am forced to take pictures with my phone and then post them so they are nothing compared to the real thing although regular pictures don't really compare either! :)

Hope you have a blessed week!

18 degrees!

that's right it is 18 degrees here but because of wind chill it feels like 3 degrees! crazy!!

And of course when we got here all of my shoes are packed in my bag and i only have my rainbows oh well walking in rainbows in the snow sounds like fun!!

and the forecast is snow showers all week and through the weekend!! looks like it is going to be an amazing week!!!!! yay!

So we arrived here safe and of course as soon as i sat down i realized the thing i forgot so far was my sd reader so i won't be able to really post pictures until Thursday when my dad comes and hopefully brings his sd reader! ugh oh well!

So i unpacked and then ran the stairs (which were freezing btw)! so yea looks amazing so far I'll have to take some pictures and post them Thursday or Friday!
