Snowy Smiths

We've got a ton of snow here in Vernal over the last couple of weeks, and it's been SO cold! It's definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We've been singing Christmas hymns as a family every evening, and that has been a fun way to bring the Christmas spirit to our home. Cooper has been getting into singing the Christmas hymns. He was singing his little heart out in church today. We got a few people turning around and smiling at him, one sister said she hopes he keeps singing all his life, and one brother gave him a CTR bracelet. If only I was 6 years old and as cute as a button...

We are all doing fine, and enjoying it here in Vernal, so far. I'm missing having a Target to shop at, but we did find jeans for Aubrey at Walmart after a long search everywhere! I'm not a Walmart fan, but if they have jeans that fit a hard-to-fit girl, I'll go for it.

Tyler is his same rambunctious self. He's had a little bit of problems at school already, but he's doing much better now. If we can direct his energy, he does just fine.

I helped Brandon pick out some paint to paint the store he's managing. I am planning on going in next week to help him paint. I'll get paid, of course. I'm not a big fan of painting, but it will be fun to spend time with Brandon, and I can make a little extra money while I'm at it. Plus, it will help him out.

I'm enjoying decorating my new house. Brandon's mom says that it's like everything we've collected since we were married was meant for this house. My antique stuff is perfect here. I don't know if our cats, Scout and Bunny, like it here. They're strictly outside cats, and there are a couple of big mean cats around the neighborhood. Hopefully they can stick together and stand up to those bully cats.
