Finally…

We finally escaped the house today…after 4 days of being trapped in by the ice…we got snow!!!  That was reason enough for us to head outside for a little while.

She is still not too impressed with the snow…

But, she is potty trained now!!!  That is what 4 solid days inside the house will do for a girl.  :)

Playing catch with the snowballs…

Tate and Mommy

My cutie…

And the big kid!

Daddy with Em and Tate

Even Huck enjoyed getting out and playing for a while.

 

Hiding from Daddy…can you see him???

She was begging to make snow angels…this was followed shortly by a warm bath…

Running from the snowballs…

Such a sweet girl…enjoying some fresh air!  :)

Basketball Winter 2010

Tate is trying basketball out this winter with some friends from his baseball and football teams.  He is having a lot of fun and it gets some energy out on these cold winter days.  :) Go Rebels!!

ICE!

We went over to the Gaylord this week to see the ICE! sculptures.  The kids loved seeing all the Peanuts characters in ice.  They give you parkas to wear because it is 9 degrees in the exhibit.  

Mimi and Papaw with all the kids

Everything was so colorful and fun to look at.         

In Snoopy’s doghouse…made of ice! 

Tate and Brody

 

All the kids bundled up.  :)

Mommy and Emmy being silly  

Mimi with Lyla and Em…Lyla lasted about 5 minutes after this…she was so cold.  :)

Lyla sliding down the ice slides.  They loved these…

Emmy’s turn

Tate

 

Brody

This was her…”I am cold” look

Emmy and Linus…they have the blankie thing in common.  :)

Em and Tate

My mitten got in the way…but this was Tate and Emmy with Uncle B in front of the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

 

What a fun time!  If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend going on a week night and wearing plenty of warm clothes.  :)

The Nutcracker 2010

Brad and Philip took the girls to see The Nutcracker again this year.   

And Here Come The Holidays…

Here is just a glimpse of the silliness during our attempt at Christmas card pictures…

Really?????

(I took about 237 more…there were a “few” good ones!)

October 2010

Wow!  What a busy month.  I can’t believe it is already November.  We had a fun October…

 

I got to travel to Austin to see Gina get married.

 

These two went on their first field trip… to the public library.

We went to Mr. Red’s Cowboy Gathering… Where this little guy got brave and…

did the mutton bustin’!

two nights in a row!  :)

While this little cowgirl cheered him on from the bleachers.

Mommy and Daddy went on a little vacation to Cancun…

with some really fun friends.  :)

We went on another field trip with Tate and Emmy’s school…

to the Pumpkin Patch.

 

Oh, and these two boys got to see the Rangers play in the World Series!  :) 

What a fun month…now for November…

Beautiful Day for the Park
