This is why I love Texas!

It was in the 80's on Sunday, snowed on Monday, 60's on Tuesday and Wednesday and then TONS of snow today! I took Carter out-of-school today at 12:30 because I couldn't stand that he was missing the snow!


Here is a picture out our front door. We have had tons more snow since this was taken.
Landon all bundled up for our doctors appt. this morning.When I brought Carter home, he patiently waited THREE LOOOONG hours for the big kids to get off the bus so that he could go play with them. You can see a little snow out the window. This was about 1:00 today.
This is about as far as Landon got out the door.....too cold!
Carter at about 3:00...still waiting on those silly big kids. Trying to eat snow...
Our Aggie snowman...
More snow...
This is after playing for 2 hours with the big kids. Making snowmen, snowfights, etc...He is so tired in this picture.

Hopefully we will have more snow pics tomorrow. It is suppose to snow more tonight.

Making progress on food!

Okay, so he still doesn't "Love" it...but he will at least swallow it! He has had Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans. He didn't know what to think about those green beans...
Reading to my boys! To think I used to rock Carter in that same chair...

Blog under construction!

In attempt to find an Easter background, I have messed up the layout of the blog...check back at a later date for "the new and improved" blog! Landon is hungry and he says he can't wait!

Our week in a "nutshell".

Texas weather is crazy! It is in the 70's on Sunday...it snows last night...and today it is 60 and sunny! Crazy. I was really hoping the snow would stick and Carter would get to stay home from school today and play in it. No such luck! I guess Landon liked the cold morning, though. He went to bed at 7:30 last night and slept until 10:00 this morning (he usually wakes up between 7:30-8:00)

Last weekend, Carter had his first soccer game. His team name is the "Mighty Tornadoes", but we were very excited his unifoms were "Aggie" color.

Warming-up. It was a chilly morning.
Landon got all bundled up to show his support.
Carter did not score a goal, but he did kick the ball a few times.
Landon's support didn't last long...
That night, we went out-to-eat at Gloria's with our friends Kirsten, Rodney and Grayson (who just turned one).
On Monday, Carter got his first stripe on his belt at karate. He was very excited! After you are there for so many classes, you can get your stripe if you know your phone #, address and how to call 911.

We are getting ready for a neighborhood garage sale this weekend. I came across the outfit on the left. It is a long-leg, long-arm outfit. This is what Landon was suppose to wear home from the hospital. The one on the right is what he wears now. He didn't end up wearing the outfit on the left because while Rich and I were watching a CPR video (had to do this before we could take him home from NICU), the nurse got him all ready in his car seat for us. I didn't have the heart to take him out and change him after that.

Landon HATES tummy time, but will look at himself in the mirror for a little bit. He will then either roll over to his back or just throw his arms down by his side and scream bloody murder!

And here is my brown-hair, brown-eyed, bald-head BEAUTY!

It has taken me forever to write this post. In the middle of it, I put Landon down for nap. I do have to say that both of my boys have always been wonderful at going to bed, on their own (and not requiring forever rocking). So...I put Landon in bed and come downstairs. After a little bit, he starts screaming so I go upstairs to rock him. I get him out, rock him and within 5 minutes he is sound asleep. When I go to put him back in bed, I see that there is POOP all over the bed (no wonder he was screaming). He had a blow out and I had been rocking him with poop all over him and now me! And NO, I did not smell it! So...I clean him up, clean me up, and the bed and now he is wide awake. He actually giggled on the way back down the stairs. Stinker!

Have a great week!

What a difference 2 years makes!

I came across the first picture and thought it needed to be posted. Can you see the tiny fish?

Then...


Now...

Rice Cereal...Yuck!

We gave Landon rice cereal for the first time last week. He doesn't really know what to do. He keeps looking at me like "why are you putting this nasty stuff in my mouth". We are slowly trying to get him used to it. Carter has his first soccer game this weekend. This is after only one practice for 45 minutes. This should be interesting!
On Sunday, we are going to help Clay and Alicia load their Uhaul. They are moving back to Savannah...boo hoo hoo!

What a relaxing vacation!

Sorry I am just now posting these. I am posting them in a hurry, so I apologize for any grammatical errors.

Rich had some vacation days to use up, so we went on a little vacation. We started out going to Bullard for my Mom's bday. For Christmas, Dad bought her a photo package so we had family portraits on Saturday. Here are some pics below from that.

Afterwards we went to eat lunch for Mom's bday. This is Carter and Madeline below. Madeline was Grandma's neighbor and she LOVED to come over to Grandma's to hug Carter, so we invited her along.

The two pics below are of Carter and Dad (AKA Papa). They are tractor riding!

Next we went to the lakehouse. Between Carter, Rich, and Granddaddy, they caught 100 pounds of fish. Carter had a blast and is more excited about fishing than ever. He spent 3 days doing nothing but fishing.




Grandmother and Landon at the local joint, "Floridas".

You can see the most magnificent sunsets at the lake!

This was the big monster Rich caught.
The fish...cleaned and bagged!
Rich's monster!
Where's Landon?

On Wednesday, we headed to Aggieland to start brainwashing Carter. Here are the boys at Wings-N-More...yum!
We met an old Ag (Class fo '57) that took us out on the field. It was so neat!

Our last stop was to our favorite college hangout...the Dixie Chicken!
If Carter only knew how much time Mommy spent leaning up against that bar!

Don't worry, it is only IBC rootbeer!
I'll try and do a longer post later, but wanted to get these posted ASAP.
