Happy Valentines Day!

From D and his sweetheart, pictures taken by the fabulous Chera!

Most snow in MY lifetime

Feb 11th and 12th, 2010 will be remembered for a long time here in North Texas. We got about 12 inches of snow!! That's more than I've seen in my entire lifetime! So...what do you do when faced with a messload of snow, and a 5 year old? :) Why, you go PLAY in it!!! We got out of work early on the 11th, so Beth and I, plus the 3 boys, hit up a huge hill.

"I LOVE this, Mom!"

A kind man and his daughter let the kids try their toboggan.

And finally, we made snow ice cream, yummy!!

Mommy/Son Valentines Playdate

Despite the COLD and the wind, we braved 2 hours at a park to have some fun! My friend Casey organized a Mommy/Son Valentines Playdate, and it was a blast! A very talented chick brought some yummy and adorable cupcakes, and then we let the kid's decorate cookies as well grilled hotdogs and let the kids run wild on the playground.

The cupcakes!

Time for cookie decorating!

D was so proud of his finished product!
