Sledding!

We got out early this morning to get in some fun in the snow before it all melted away. We had such a fun time sledding. I think this was a first for both boys. They loved it! Since sleds are hard to come by in Texas, we used laundry baskets and a pizza pan. :) Jeff and I did it, too, but I chose to not share our oh-so-flattering pictures. We are not quite as cute sliding on pizza pans as the kids are...

Snow days 3 & 4

We had four straight snow days this week. Only left the house once for about 15 minutes in all that time. We got creative with ways to stay busy and ended up really enjoying ourselves!

Killing time with playdough. And Tyler in his night vision goggles. We had fun taking pictures of them in the dark. (Like I said...killing time!)

My fearsome lion and fierce dragon!

Craft time - we made masks out of paper plates, beans and noodles.

My angels in the snow.

Jumping into the snow; our snowman; tasting the snow; snowball fights and our snow "fortress,"' whic got knocked over right before I took the picture...

lots of snow! Where did the street go??

Snow Day!!!

The boys were in the playroom, and I asked them if they wanted to come out and help me with something. This is how they arrived...in matching silver glasses with orange lenses, and each with a knee pad on. Some sort of super hero spy kids. They are so funny - I of course had to take pictures. What else is there to do when you're trapped indoors all day??

Nuclear Cowboyz

A co-worker of Jeff's was able to get a good deal on tickets to this motorcycle show, Nuclear Cowboyz. We decided to check it out and had a great time! Tyler now wants to be a "motorcycle jumper" when he grows up. Oh yay! ;)

Happy boys!

Stunts! They got so high up in the air and at times the riders completely let go of their motorcycles. It was pretty cool.

One of my favorite pictures - check out the shadows on the right side.

FIVE!

First snow!

We had our first snow of the season yesterday, January 9th. Here are some of the highlights from this exciting day!

The boys watching out the front door right after we realized the snow had started:

This was taken looking straight up at the sky. Can you count the flakes? ;)

In our backyard:

The snowman Grandpa Preiser built in their front yard. And a picture of the boys pelting their daddy with snowballs. haha.

The "snowman" I built. Before...and after. 

Merry Christmas!

We had an amazing Christmas surrounded by lots and lots of family. We spent Christmas eve at Nana & Papaw's (Jeff's parents). Then had Christmas morning first at our house, then at my Mom & Dad's. My sister, brother and their spouses, my nephew, grandparents and Uncle Scott were all visiting from out of town. We felt really blessed to be able to share the holiday with so much of our family.
