Bring out your skis

Woke up to snow. Sorry I didn't take a pic. I always make a big deal of the first snow of the season even if I doesn't last long. I woke Gmo up early so he could see the snow and do our snow dance, which is pretty much just bouncing up and down like we have to pee really bad.
I love winter and I want my kiddos to love it too. It's one of the great things about living in Utah. They don't say we have the "greatest snow on earth" for nothing. We are lucky here. We have nice hot summers and cold snowy winters. Spring and Fall are pretty too. Although I wish fall lasted longer- fall is the bestest. If I lived somewhere without four seasons I'd be bored.
This year i really hope I get to ski. I've either been pregnant or broke the last several years and haven't been able to get out and really enjoy our awesome winters. So pray for snow people! And pray we have enough money to actually ski. Tourist make everything more expensive. Bastards.
Oh and my sister-in-law was awesome enough to take some family pics for us. Here are a few:

Magic Kale

Kale is magic. It's the one green leafy vegetable that my kids eat consistently. No joke. I'll scramble eggs and kale in the AM and Geronimo will pick all the kale out and leave the eggs. They also make fantastic chips. Mix them with a little olive oil and salt and bake them and they literally melt in your mouth. Isaac asks for kale chips all the time. A couple of months ago I did the whole 30 challenge with the other ladies at my crossfit gym. It's this no sugar, no processed foods diet thingy. Anywhoo i was craving spaghetti because spaghetti is one the greatest creations of all time. But you can't have noodles on the whole 30, so I put my spaghetti sauce on some sautéed kale. Sounds gross, tasted aweso. I still do it. I just drink a beer with I now. Take that whole 30. That diet took the fun out of food. It is good for you though. Oh well.
