Snow!!!


Early February brought a fun surprise...snow!....and 'lots of it...12 inches. To some of you, that may not seem like a lot, but for Texas...it was! We actually hit a record! When it snowed at Christmas, Eli was eager to build a snowman, but there was not enough snow. This time, Eli was in heaven :)

The first day, it snowed literally ALL day, and the boys got to play in the snow that night. To our surprise, there was even more snow the next morning, and the boys were more than thrilled to head out to the backyard again! They even tried to make snow angels, which Tanner quickly laid on once they got up. (Eli was so mad!)

After 2 fun-filled days in the snow, it began to melt, and the dissappointment set in. Both Jerry and I agreed that one day, we would move to a state that has snow all winter long.....who knows where or when, but it is in the cards :)

The Star of the Show

Eli has been diligently learning his karate patterns and moving through the "Little Dragon" program at an impressive rate. Below is a video of him testing for his blue belt. He was the only kid testing for that level, so he was the star of the show! He sure made me proud :)
