So this morning when I went to feed Camrie at about 7 as I was heading back to bed I saw that the ground was covered with snow. I thought to myself "oh I hope it lasts long enough for Dayton to see when he wakes up", there was maybe 2 inches. Well it was still snowing when we got up and did not stop for the next 5 hours. This is what we got...
Dayton tried to go play in it but did not make it very far. So Kyle went out with him to shovel and he did not make it very far. He shoveled the walk way and then they headed to the back.
We just wanted to show what we were seeing. Usually when it snows it is nice out, but today it was pretty cold. After I took a few pictures Dayton asked if he could go back inside. Too bad Grandma and Papa Mike left, they would have gotten stranded for sure, and this would have made them feel right at home. Who would have guessed that we would get snow before Kyle's hometown in New York.
The first snowman of the season was built right in our backyard. It was the most perfect snowman snow I had ever seen. Had we had a few uncles, (Jay, Jared, Deck, Cache, or Brady) around I am sure there would have been a few snowball fights.
Here he is, I was surprised he was this small the way he started out, but the builders said they ran out of steam. And we know he has no arms, but Utah has no trees so how are we supposed to find branches for the arms. And you can't tell, but the nose is not a carrot, it is a few orange candies put on a popsicle stick, what can I say, I was not prepared for snow.
It stopped snowing just after Frosty was built, and we are not sure how much we got, but we know it is well over a foot! It was fun, but we hope it is not a glimpse of the future winter ahead for us. It did make us think it was December and I asked Kyle if we could put our Christmas tree up, but he turned me down. Oh well, maybe next snow storm.

Looks like you had a great visit with family. I can't believe the snow. We had a couple of flurries, but that lasted only a minute and nothing stuck. It has been cold though, but suppose to warm up. By the way we are headed to Thanksgiving Point on Thursday for the Corn Belly festival if you guys want to meet up.
The Spaulding family is looking great! So you guys are in UT now? When did you move there? I guess I'm out of the loop. Anyway, wanted to say hi and tell you your kids are seriously beautiful!
I can't believe the snow! It was 79* here today!! We are having a beautiful fall and it looks like your winter has already started! Crazy! Love and miss you.
We made a snowman too! But oh how glad I am that the snow is gone hopefully it stays that way for awhile!
