Is THAT SNOW?!

Wow! How do I even start? WE GOT SNOW!!! IN TEXAS!! Our boys have now seen snow!! Yahooo!! So wouldn't you know it, we planned out first trip to Dallas a COUPLE months ago. A little winter get away :) After 8 years, we have been to San Antonio & Houston countless times, but never to Dallas. So I thought I would plan a little trip to Great Wolf Lodge. THE most amazing place! We have wanted to go for a couple of years now. So finally I picked a date & booked it. Wouldn't you know it that the exact date I picked we would get our first ever snow in Texas since we moved here 8 years ago! What luck! After attempting to continue on with our trip, we knew messing with the weather was not worth it. So...we turned around and headed back home. Who wants to travel 195 miles in yuckiness? If that's even a word! So we came back home with a yard full of snow & thought, really, do we take the kids to school with a yard full of snow? When they have never seen it before? And might not again? (Well for 8 more years anyway!) The answer NO! So we spent the day at home LOVING every second of the snow! And much to our surprise it was still around the next morning. School was 2 hours late so the boys had another little go around! Later that afternoon temps reached nearly 60 and we said "goodbye" to the snow for another 8 :)

NO Princess!

Well, after many failed attempts to keep our sweet Princess an indoor kitty, we finally gave up! She is determined to go outside! It didn't take her long before she learned about all the fun the outdoors can bring & the day before yesterday she came home with her first bird. :( I couldn't believe it! My cuddly cute kitty. But I guess she is a cat after all.

Today Braeden is home from school with an upset stomach. He tried to get away with staying home yesterday, but I really thought he was trying to get away with something! That is until this morning when we BOTH woke up feeling bad. So Braeden is upstairs relaxing & I am just trying to get thru the day with my daycare. Ughh. Hope it goes fast! And I hope it doesn't turn into something worse, or spread to the other kids. We have a busy weekend ahead of us! AND tickets to go see Elmo. Yep, again. With 4 kids, I have been to more shows in the past 9 years than I can remember. But the smiles on the kid's face, always makes it worth it!

Happy Valentine's Day!

So the weekend started out & I was feeling kind of bummed that once again Valentine's day fell on a day Justin had to work. That's when decided, since I couldn't spend the day with Justin, I would make it all about our awesome boys! I started out Sunday morning with a valentine's breakfast. Pink pancakes, bacon, and red scrambled eggs. The boys thought that was pretty fun! I made them little valentine's day baskets with all their goodies in them. So much fun! I think this will have to be a new tradition :)

We made it again!

Hooray! Yesterday was our 3rd Sunday in a row to make it to church! Yay me! haha I love to hear what the boy's learn each week in children's church. They are so cute! After church we made little chocolate dipped cakes. Yummy! Chris & Wendie brought the kids over (along with an awesome steak & chicken dinner!) THANKS guys! We had a great meal, finally got to catch up & watch the super bowl. YEAH for the Saints!

Another Busy Saturday!

We had another wild & crazy Saturday yesterday! With basketball & 2 birthday parties, there was lots of running around to do! We started out our day at Braeden's basketball game~ where they WON again! Yay Braeden! Kinden & Logan have fun each week, cheering on their brother...and playing! And Mason...well, he had a meltdown yesterday :) All the kids running around on the court, it's just hard for a 2 yr. old to understand that HE can't run out there too! On to Josh's house for his birthday party, the boys of course had a blast! Next it was on to Hill Country Tumble & Cheer for Mia's party. Logan was soooo excited! He LOVES all his little girlfriends, and I just love to watch them! They are so cute! All in All it was a great Saturday!

Fun at Fuddruckers

It has been a cold, rainy week in Texas! After being stuck in the house for 3 days straight, I was getting some serious cabin fever! We decided to meet some friends at Fuddruckers to get out of the house. The boys had a great time & ran thru quarters like they were on fire! Fun for the kids, fun for us!

100 days of school!

Today marks the 100th day of school for the boys! They left this morning so excited about the fun day ahead of them! I on the other hand am just trying to get thru this rainy day! With the daycare kids all trapped inside, it can make for a wild day! But then I guess if you've been to my house, what day isn't wild??
