Snow Update!!

Well the snow is gone....but not the memories!! Probably one of the few chances to have snow your in our own backyard...well at least that's what I keep telling myself. The kids loved it and I'm not complaining either. It definitely made for a great birthday weekend. Granted we couldn't go anywhere, but I got breakfast in bed, didn't have to change a single poopy diaper and got to keep Brent home for 4.5 straight days. What else could I ask for?? The kids got chocolate cake and I got to clean up the HUGE mess they made!! And I'm happy to report that the weather has topped out to the 60's this week.

Some of the snow pictures that I bravely took from inside the house!

These were huge...over a foot long...at least.

Snow....Snow....and more snow. They said we got 1/10 of an inch, but they never measure our lawn...Blue tarp is how we Southern Californians keep our palm trees from freezing. They also had little towels wrapped around their bases...too cold couldn't get that on photo.

This is how we So Cal's defrost our cars...blow dryer and a broom...

Andrew eating Texan snow!

Just a few from our snowed in days...Sorry took more pictures of the snow than I did of the kids

Brianna is 11months and we're SNOW'D in

Well Brianna is eleven months old today and last night she started WALKING!!! She would take about 5-6 steps and then get all excited. She looked like a little zombie....her arms were straight out in front. Wont be long before my baby takes off, don't think I'm ready for that!

Our Igloo....all back windows have a good layer of ice

I guess you have to read all the fine print when you move to a new state....because NOBODY mentioned anything about snow in Texas!!

Tried to get him to match but after about the fifth layer we were running out of options.

After this blizzard passes I'll take more!

Happy HUMP DAY!

Just wanted to share some photos from the week!!

WWF in Brianna's Crib....She sure puts up a good fight

Andrew lounging after a long days work

Brianna's first Lemon!! She wasnt too happy

New Year, New Look...Same Babies

The new year inspired me to change to look of the blog....Babies are growing super fast. Everyday Andrew comes up with something new to say. He now says I do it, when you ask him his name he'll say Andrew Michael, (it's cuter to hear him say it), the trash is now "trash man" and his relating objects by their size. Everything big is daddy, smaller is mama and smallest is baby. So he has all his toys grouped by their size. And he'll ask for baby airplane or mama trash, it's a very detailed form of classification...well at least I think so. He had a great Christmas and continues to talk about Santa. There was an older gentlemen with a long white beard at the grocery store and Andrew was calling him Santa. The man seemed offended but I thought it was pretty funny. His growing up and maturing so much everyday....
Brianna is on her way to walking. If it was up to my parents they would have had her walking before they left. The most we got was standing and then three steps all alone. She would just get too excited and then sit. But I'm in no hurry. I like just being able to cuddle and her not knowing she can have that independence. She's turned into the little dancing machine. Andrew likes to play everything that has a music button at the same time and Brianna just sits there with her hands in the air dancing. Again cuter to see her do it.

Well Happy New Year hope every ones new year is all they expect and more!

Trail of Lights on 12/18....They both loved it

Cookie Decorating 12/21. Andrew had a blast and made a HUGE mess. Brianna sat there with a cookie in her mouth and a bottle of sprinkles in her hand.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning Brianna looked soo cute in her new dress. Andrew loved all the new toys!!
