If you are reading this, then those tricky Mayans did not destroy your world, and you survived the Holiday Death March. If you are not reading this, but are looking at the words on the screen, then: kjbsdvji slh slhv gl xvlk glsd flk gsldkf glg halfkg liug svlig slfhg lsfg liug sfliug.
But here we are though, still in Utah during the winter. We had some guests come over this week and our kids have loved it. Tom and Natalie came to visit us for a few days and they have been having fun in the snow. So it has been a fun last week. I got my new system, and an update for the office: a couch. Now Elise can come in and be with me while I work at home. And yes Reuben, the new couch is from Ikea, so we are more Ikea now than ever!
Well, you did not come here to read my words, just look at pictures. Which this week I did not do anything special to them, I just used them as they are, so they are not in chronological order or anything else that is special.
Snow time in Utah, or as they like to call it: weekdays
Kasmir at a good light
Sunday dinner with steak and the kids
Elise just has to have her cup of snow with dinner, otherwise she is cranky
The new office configuration with the Ikea sofa
All the kids out with Elise and Natalie to sled
View of the mountain pass from a distance
This is Zo’s new pet, Hamsty, and she loves the ball

Images of the snowfall
This is the street we have to drive on
Netter and Elise went to an Arial show
Netter loves these types of things
More Arial stuff from the show.
Of course Netter had to stop afterwards
The lesser known Sith Lord, Darth Tom, was a master at Econ, but had to be plugged in to the wall
Getting ready to make a ton of noise to usher in the new year
All the kids getting ready to make some more noise
The kids out sledding
Going downhill on the sleds
Cully walking around in the snow
Cully learns the properties of slick snow
Getting ready to go down the slide hill
Sledding time can be fun, even with a camera
Netter is such a big girl now, and so helpful with the cousins
One bad thing about sledding down, you have to walk back up
Kasmir showing he is man enough to walk up these slopes
Here we are in week 22! This past week was very fun, especially for Zo, as this past week was her Birthday! This past week we hung out in AZ for a few days, then drove back. Once back we got back to usual schedules, and I got really sick. I am still recovering from…
October cold breezes bring good things, I think. The kids are dealing with their first real cold spell and were fascinated by the ice on the grass. Just wait kids. Especially when it snows and mean old daddy makes you shovel the driveway and the sidewalk. Then I am not so sure they will be…
So, you thought you could get rid of me that easily huh, well then this week you are in for a real big thing, because I have 3 weeks worth of material that you can all skip over quickly. That is right, three full weeks to ignore right out, or to just glance at the…
Weeks have gone by, and the Hird Family is still exploring Utah and the new life here. This past week is no different. In order to understand this week, we must understand the family. Elise was born and raised in Arizona. Minus a little time spent in Slovenia, she has been almost her whole life…
Merry Christmas everyone! This past week was amazing and we had a lot of fun. There are a lot of pictures this week, so I will not write too much for the post. But to cover some highlights: Elise took the kids snow skiing this past week. Kas and Netter loved it, Zo was hesitant…
So this past week was one filled entirely of Kas! It was his birthday on September 11 and we celebrated as much as we could. And the girls made sure they reminded him that he would not be as cool as he is without them. Which I agree. The girls keep him honest. This past…
