Snow in Georgia!!!

YAY!! So for real, the forcast was for possible snow...but I was sceptical it would ever stick. But it did....and it's so so pretty! Friday night was super cold...Jess was off doing his homework and so I lovingly sent the boys out on their own (for real...so cold) for some awesome Georgia snow fun. Someone has to make the hot cocoa right? Right! So the snow flakes were HUGE and great packing snow and it was awesome to watch the boys play and play and play until they were little popcicles.

Then this morning the snow was still here...and the weather was so much warmer. So we all geared up and tried it out. (Jess took some pretty pictures)

It was super powder-ry...so after Jess' good hard efforts at making some sort of snow creature/fort/something, we abandoned that. Next...we don't have sleds so.......we first tried laundry baskets.....then we tried cookie sheets....and then we remembered that Jess and I had our snowboards in the garage! RIGHT! So that worked and it was awesome. YAY for snow in Georgia!!!

Here's Lucas with a lap full of snow after his first run on the cookie sheet...they were really sub-par.

First time together on the snowboard...it was pretty fast!
little snowboarder...it was pretty heavy for him to lug...but he did it!

oh...and a some crazies mentioned I looked small in my other post...it wasn't true--just the wrong angle...here is me in all of my 34 week splender! (I know my face is a little freaky...I can't explain that...it just happened that way. )

Goodbye Scotty!

Don't you just love early morning goodbyes! This was a particularly heart warming one. My youngest bro. Scott is leaving on his mission to New York March 17th so we all went out to Utah to see him before he was off! He looks happy to be awake and hugged huh? Ooooh, I love this kid.We also got to meet our almost newest sister Kara! Oooh, she's just so nice and we love her to bits...here's a pic of her and my bro. B.J. (getting married in May)and me with our prettiest faces!She's going to fit in perfectly!

We got to see most of Jess' family too. We went to the yummiest frozen yogurt place--like cold stone but cheaper and better...My favorite thing about this group picture is how awful it is. Lots of closed eye's and people not looking..ha ha--I love reality pictures

Kaden has so taken after his dad--his face in this picture was on purpose. Oooh, don't you just love that?

Luke and Grandpa George!

We got a big ole Adams family picture, and Luke even stood in front of my giant belly! Good kid that one!

Back at the Adams house there was much snow playing going on! Lucas was so entranced by the mountains and the snow and kept reminding us how cool it was. I LOVED it!

"Fire-power" (you know...from Night at the Museum?? You can't see it but our snowman is doing it too.)

Me and B.J. while he took a break from terrorizing the young'ins. he he

Seriously, rock climbing with scotty was so so fun! Totty's sort of amazing at it. Both boys climbed the wall to the very top! I was so so impressed with their dexterity. Love them!

One of my favorite things about getting together with my family is playing games--ALL THE TIME! And this trip was no exception! It was such a short one that in the beginning I had to force myself to play and not sleep...but it was soooooo worth it. Usually it's card games, but my sister introduced a new game named Quelf which was AWESOME! Here's Scott with a plant on his lap during the game, laughing cause he had to laugh whenever anyone else laughed as part of the rules....it really was the coolest game ever!

Two of the coolest guys ever! Dad and Jess! I like them!

Some of my awesome adorable friends made some quick changes in their plans and we all got together for lunch. So so so fun! Love you ladies

Okay--for real--it was a great trip. I wish it could have been longer..but turns out when you've got a giant belly with a child in it and another child in school, trips need to be short. But thanks mom and dad (and mom and dad Winn--they totally shared their chocolates!!! yay!)

Next big adventure......CHILDBIRTH! YAY!!! 6 more weeks!!! And I'm almost over this cold THING that has had me down for almost 2 weeks! LAMEST 2 WEEKS EVER. Cough, congestion, back aches, headaches, braxton hicks....I've never been sick like this and I'll tell you what, I've always taken for granted breathing out of my nose---NEVER AGAIN! Everyone who's reading this right now...take a deep breath through your nose--and relish it....living and sleeping sucks without it!

Okay--I'm definitely getting better...today was much better then last week. So that's awesome..it's almost done...(I think I can, I think I can, I think I can)
