Freezing Cold Weather

I was quickly reminded last Friday why I live in Vegas...it is too cold in Utah in the winter. We stopped in Fillmore LATE Friday night to make a gas and potty stop and the temperature was 31 degrees!! Samantha got out of the van and said "it's too cold here lets go home." Little did she know that the cold would continue all week long!! Jeff calls me a wimp but I have been freezing cold the entire time we have been here.

Samantha and Andrea got to go outside in their first snow storm. I think that it was the first time that Andrea has even seen snow. I think the only reason they really know what it is can be attributed to the fact they love the show Max and Ruby and there have been a few snow episodes!!

In addition to the snow we have also been able to go to the zoo. Samantha was able to see a cougar up close and personal (about two feet away) so she did the BYU Cougar cheer for it!! We also saw a baby giraffe, elephants, and black bears that were playing peek-a-boo among other things. Sammy and Andrea have had fun playing with their cousins. Joey loves to follow Andrea around and treat her like she is a little baby (he is six months older and two inches taller)! I have loved the fact that I haven't had to do any cooking all week!! I am eight weeks pregnant and throwing up at least once a day...I keep trying to remind myself that I really want another baby right now. I feel like crap 90% of the time right now. I can't wait for the first trimester to be over so I can feel better.

Tomorrow Chris goes through the temple so we are really excited about that. I hope that I can make it through the session without getting sick! Sammy and Andrea are also going to be at a babysitter for longer than they have ever been left before so we hope they do good. It should be really interesting because our friends are watching them and they are going to have their whole family over for an Easter Egg hunt.....it will be interesting to see how they react to so many people they don't really know...especially the men!! We'll see! I have to go lay down before I throw up.
