Like Father Like Son

Easy Entertainment

So, this is what we do at our house for fun.  She needs to learn how to drive a little better!

Poor Drew!!!

Spring Break Fun

We had a mostly beautiful spring break week!  We worked in the flower bed and hung out with our friends and neighbors, Harper and Will.  It's so much fun to have neighbors to play with!

Ashtyn even helped me with the flower bed.  She even held earth worms and played with roly polies!  Maybe she won't be such a girly girl after all!!!  (Of course, she was wearing gloves!)

Drew just enjoyed being outside.

It was finally Drew's turn to swing, so this is what he chose to do with his time!

BIrthday Weekend

Ashtyn had a busy birthday weekend.  We all went to the zoo on Friday and then went to Rainforest Cafe for lunch on Saturday.  You may notice a slight difference in our attire due to the drastic change in temp. from the 70s on Friday to the 30s on Saturday!

She got to open some presents from Mommy and Daddy on her birthday.  Sorry to all of you that she refused to talk to on the phone!  Guess we caught her early talking to Chandler!

Off to the zoo!  She has always liked flamingoes for some reason.  Maybe because they are pink!

And last, a couple of pictures from Rainforest cafe.  She couldn't understand why it kept thundering and lightening in there!

Look Who's 3!!

I can't believe my baby girl just turned 3.  Time sure flies by, and she is growing up so fast.  She wanted to go outside on Saturday when it was super cold and told me, "It's ok, Mommy, I'll keep you warm."  She has brought so much to our lives over the past 3 years that it's difficult to remember life without her!

Ashtyn, Mommy and Daddy love you more than you'll ever know!

Happy Birthday, Princess!

First Bites

Drew is 4 months old and after months of mama milk and a little formula, he got to try his first bite of food.  He wasn't very interested at first, but before long was diving in for the spoon full!  He wants to eat it, but just doesn't know what to do with it once it's in his mouth.  Each bite comes out and gets put back in an average of 4 times before we give up and try another bite.

Thanks, Thatcher, for the bib!!!

Record Snow

So, I have lived in Texas my whole life, and in north Texas for the past 15 years.  I have NEVER seen anything like this before.  Maybe that's because we officially got 12.5 inches of snow in a 24 hour period, the most in 111 years!  It started around 3am on Thursday and continued ALL day long.  Yes, we went to school and work on Thursday, but hardly anyone worked on Friday!

Instead, this is what we did!

Peek a boo

The girls didn't last very long in the cold, but they did have some fun in the snow.

Mmmmm...tasty

Drew slept through most of the fun, but did wake up in time to get his picture made with the snowman.

So, here are a few pics of things around the house.  May give some perspective on how much there really was.

Even after our very amateur attempt at shoveling, we still couldn't get the car up the driveway.

Late Friday morning we ventured out.  Things were getting a little chilly in our house after the electricity had been off for 5 hours and counting!  Still lots of snow, but the roads were clear.
