Happy 3rd Birthday Grant & Reid!

I can't believe I have 2 three year olds! This year was a "Cars" birthday party, complete with friends, presents, and their very own cakes! Evidently sharing birthday cakes isn't very popular with the twins :) We had so much fun, having our friends over for our party, the boys would list off everyone they wanted to invite, and it was important that "mommy's friends" were invited too...worked out well for me :) The boys were thrilled to have so many friends show up to help them celebrate turning "3 just like Britton"!
















Valentine Fun

A little behind on my blogging, but still wanted to post our February fun.

Winter Snow 2010

It's hard to believe this is the Texas I grew up in...this kind of snow is definitely new to us here in Arlington, but the boys are starting to think this is the norm. It's been a long wet, and snowy winter this year. Just when I thought I couldn't take any more winter this blanket of snow dropped from the heavens. It was absolutley gorgeous...just like living in a snowglobe, and the boys thought it was pretty fun too! Ever since our white Christmas they have been talking about it snowing again, and Santa coming...well no Santa this time, but all the fun they had making snow angels, snowmen, sledding, and having snowball fights more than made up for no Santa. We even got to have a slumber party with our cousins Peyton and Maddie Cate since they lost their power. There were many trees lost in our neighborhood due to all the snow. This also meant many people without electricity...which is no way to live if you're asking my sister-in-law Melissa. We had so much fun hosting the slumber party...Meliss gave me a crash course in photo-shop while Jason took the kids sledding. We made yummy food, and wasted the day away playing.




Before snow was even in the forecast the boys were wanting to make snow angels. They must have learned about them at school, because we definitely had not discussed them. After school one day I asked them to show me what a snow angel was to see if they really knew and sure enough they would lie down on the floor and move their arms and legs to show me...so finally at long last their chance to make the real deal!










Watch out Grant!!!


Excitement was in the air...


...the carrot nose was very important!


This one cracks me up...check out Grants hat, and Peyton's face! Ha! They had so much fun sledding with Jason.


A very snowy Lynda Lane!
