Feb. 23, 2010 ~ SNOW in College Station!

Well, believe it or not, we got snow in College Station...for the second year in a row! Ever since it officially became "winter" in December, Ryan has been talking about playing in the snow. (He actually remembered it from last year!) I kept telling him not to hold his breath...it usually doesn't snow in College Station. Well, he finally got his wish! We thought we might get 4", but we only got about 1". Not enough to make a snowman or snowangel, but enough for a snowball fight and...

...catching snowflakes on your tongue!

Max and Ryan played out in the falling snow before Brock got home from school.

Inside nice and warm with hot chocolate.

Just to show you how hard it was snowing...

January 2010

We finally slowed down a bit in January. As I was trying to figure out what pictures and video to put on the blog tonight, I was once again reminded that I have the two sweetest boys ever and the most wonderful husband...and my love for them is so deep. I love you, Steve, Brock & Ryan!

Ryan's sweet smile.

Every month at Brock's school, they give the Golden Gator award to a student or two that has excelled that month. Brock was dying all year to get the Golden Gator and finally won it for December (it was awarded in January). Congratulations, Brock! Great job, Sweetie!

Brock had his first two teeth removed this month. He's also been dying to lose a tooth. Too bad he had to get his first ones pulled! He did great at the dentist, though.

This is video of Brock talking about his teeth, Christmas and basketball. I love his facial expressions and mannerisms...even the small stuff is great in the eyes of a child.
