February Pics

I had lots of help making Tyson's birthday cake!

They only spread some of the icing....they ended up licking their spoons while I did the icing!

 
The finished product!!  Of course we had to re-light the candles several time so the kids could each take turns blowing them out.  And then Grady just wanted to keep putting the candles back into the cake....so by the end of it, the cake looked pretty beat up!


Hanging out at the arboretum!

Oh....how much trouble could a little boy get into??

A little snow...

We're finally in Nacogdoches!!  While we're just renting a small place, we're very happy to finally be together as a family!  We just got to keep hoping that our house will sell so we can start looking for a "real" place to live in Nac!! 

In the meantime, we're trying to make the most of our situation.  The kids are having to share a room....which doesn't seem to bother either one of them.  I'm starting to think that they're going to get used to it and will never want to have their own bedrooms again!

Luckily, we have a very nice park right next to us and we live right across the street from the university's soccer fields.....so we have LOTS of running and adventure room!

We got just a bit of snow the other week, so we took the kids out to the park to have some fun.  

 Ahhhh!  Snow!!

 Taylor loves playing in the snow!  

 Trying to catch a snowflake!

 Of course we had to let Belle play, too!  I think she likes the snow more than any of us!

 Taylor was trying to be very still to see if some birds would come land next to her.

 The birds actually did land next to her, but Grady chased them away!  Here he's chasing a goldfinch away (if you look closely, you can see a speck of yellow....that's the bird!).

Grady likes the snow, too.  He especially liked to hear the crunching noise as he walked on it.  He kept saying, "crunch, crunch, crunch!"
