Jace is always making us laugh!

We are here in Cedar City visiting Grandma and Grandpa Eggett and of course Pudge (their dog) and Simba (their cat). Every morning Pudge goes out and gets the paper and then comes in and gets a "cookie". The cookie is actually a cookie, but a treat for getting the paper. Well, the first morning we were there, Jace says
"Since Pudge gets a cookie for getting the paper, I think I should get a cookie for watching him get the paper".
It was so cute and funny! He really makes us laugh with how he uses his logic to get what he wants.

Also, since being here I got to take Jace sledding for his first time. Cedar got some perfect snow on Saturday. I was just going to play with him in the snow in the yard, but after we played for awhile, I remembered there was a hill really close to their house. I decided we would go. He had so much fun and always wanted to go by himself. In fact, I had to talk him into letting me go down with him or I had to run up the hill while he was trudging up and go down before he got all the way to the top. Which actually worked out perfect because by the time I got to the top he would only be about half way and then I could help him the rest of the way, once I went down by myself. We sledded for about an hour, but still had to walk home. Luckily this very sweet lady offered us a ride...which ended up being their RS president in their ward. I was so thankful...Jace was tired and cold and it had started to snow again. I tried carrying him and the sled as much as I could, but that really wasn't much. I just kept thinking...wow, the pioneers really were something!

Ha, that's so great. I want a cookie for getting the paper too! I am glad you guys had such good times. It's a good distraction from everything that's going on with Brett's dad. Probably the last time you will have a chance to sled ... which I am okay with! Bring on the sunshine!
