That same weekend, we spent some time with my brother Matt, who's studying at BYU-Idaho. When we got to his place, he and some of his roommates were digging out a snow cave--one in which they could stand up straight (yes, the snow was really more than six feet tall in some places).
Here are a few pictures to show how much the snow had piled up in spots---a common scene across the entire town! Matt's truck is parked up on the snow bank.
Matt lives in a 'sweet' log cabin, with 11 other guys. The following are pictures of: Matt excitedly entering his humble abode; Shad getting ready to take Drake for a ride around the yard on Matt's snowmobile; Sweet little Graham just having fun walking around with all the snow.
To top the weekend off, we had the opportunity to attend the Rexburg Temple Dedication on February 10. We were fortunate to be able to actually be in the temple during the dedication. It was a wonderful experience, and again, I feel so blessed to have the gospel in my life. We watched a bunch of cousins that morning with Shad's uncle Keith and aunt Reva, while everyone else went to the dedication. Drake had a great time "rough housing" with his Great Uncle Keith. We then went to the dedication in the afternoon while Shad's family watched Drake and Graham for us. It was a neat experience.
So that was our "memorable weekend"... in more ways than one.

Sorry about Shads Grandpa. We are so lucky to have the gospel. It makes times like these so much easier to handle. That is so neat you were able to go to the dedication. I can't wait until the temple here is finished. It will be so wonderful. Cute pics.

That was neat of you to be able to go to the temple dedication. I was able to for the Bountiful, Utah temple and will always treasure that experience. It was great talking with you today. I hope we can keep in touch more.
Yipee! I love your blog. We love Rexburg with a passion. We spent so many good years there as did Lindsay and Brynn when they went to Ricks. Your kids are darling.
