SNOW in TX and Valentines Day

SNOW in TEXAS! I know, its crazy huh! This happened a little over a week ago here (Feb. 11) and it was so fun! Texas never gets snow like this and it ended up being 12.5 inches total which broke all the records for the most snow ever at one time. It was SO pretty and it was fun because everyone was out enjoying it. It seems like every yard had a snowman in it! :) I love snow but I hate when it sticks around forever so it was the perfect kind of snowfall. It snowed all day thursday, stuck around friday, and then by late Saturday morning it had all melted. The crazy thing is we are maybe going to get a little more snow this week on tuesday! If it snows only 2 more inches it will be the most snow ever in a winter in Dallas. I'm telling you, this has been a crazy winter here.
Guy and Brayden building a snowman
Brayden could have played out there forever if we let him. He loved it!
And then we had snow inside too! My mom sent Ty's birthday present in a box with all these packing peanuts and the boys both had fun pretending it was snow
Brayden busted out his bulldozers and had fun putting them to work
And then when they were all done with the snow, guess who had to clean it all up?? We gave Tyler Brayden's old bike for his birthday...I know, we're cheap but I figured it was new to him so it worked! The boys had fun taking turns pushing and riding on it.
I'm hoping Tyler will figure out walking by pushing this around. My back is breaking!
I love Tyler's face in this one.
He screams every time Brayden pushes him forward really fast and it makes us laugh every time!
Tyler has discovered how much fun it is to unroll the toilet paper
Every child has to do it, right!
And finally, here's a few pics from our Valentines Day.
We had 9:00 church so it was kind of rushed but still a fun morning. We hung hearts with things we love about Brayden hanging from his door for when he woke up
And since the boys share a room, Ty got the hearts on his crib
I made a trip to the dollar store to make little heart baskets with surprises in them for the boys. Seriously, I love the dollar store by our house...it really has some good stuff! They were pretty excited about it which made me happy :) I LOVE my boys!
