Snow Days of 2011

This week was a crazy week of Texas winter weather. We might have 1 or 2 snow days off of school during the winter season, but often we don't have any. School was called off on Tues Feb 1 and these pictures are from Friday, Feb 4th. Blake had 4 straight days out of school! This is rarely heard of in Texas. The first days were mainly icy but the fun really started with all of this snow on the 4th. Of course Blake was super excited to be out of school and we made the most out of the unanticipated down time. Those 2 extra days off of summer vacation will hurt though! Thankfully we didn't have to make up all 4.

All bundled up and ready. So adorable!

Her first snow to really play in and of course she loved it

Ft Worth Rodeo

Unfortunately Ben was sick for the rodeo, but thankfully Grand was already planning on watching Brooke and kept Ben too. Blake was excited for our undivided attention and it was a great time. Just a few pictures of Blake having fun at the midway. We all enjoyed the rodeo as well with the family.

Thumbs up before the ride, but Brent came off the ride nauseous from all the spinning!

Brooklyn 16 months

Brooklyn's 15th month stats:

Weight - 22 lbs 14 oz - 50-75%
Height - 32 in - 95%

A quick look at what Brooklyn is up to right at 16 months. As you can tell she likes to "help" and loves to get into anything and everything!!

Finding the Cheerio box again and helping herself. At least she was thinking about cleaning up with the broom in hand!

First Snow of 2011

Wow, I can't believe it's 2011. We had our first snowfall today. Wonder if we will get anymore this winter?? We went to church and it was raining. After service we walked out and it was snowing and had been for awhile. The kids were all excited and could barely sit through lunch. Brooke loved having the snow fall on her on the way to the car after church but that was the extent of her snow experience!
