Humility...

OK, the picture actually has nothing to do with what I'm writing about today, but this picture of Caleb (Mandy's little boy) was so adorable I couldn't resist! I wanted to share a humbling story with you...last night when the boys were going to bed I was talking with Landry about some things. He asked how to spell a word and I told him how to spell it. He then asked me if I had ever been in a spelling bee. I told him that I had and the first one I actually won in 6th grade, but then they sent me to the next level and I missed my first word! Well, he was really excited that I had won a spelling bee, but then asked what word I had missed in the other one. So, I told him it was the word "snippet", not thinking he would even really care. So, he replies, "Oh, snippet! I know...S-N-I-P-P-E-T... Snippet!" Well, you can imagine how ridiculous I felt that I had been outspelled by a first grader. Such humbling moments I seem to have so very often!!

Caleb after taking everything off of my refrigerator...I love the look of, "Oh, no! I didn't do anything!"

More Snow Pictures...

Landry throwing a snowball across the street in our "Great Snowball Fight" that we have in Texas each...hmmm...decade?

Logan making a snow angel...he really enjoyed the snow ball fight, too!

For some reason, our front yard at one point became the neighborhood kids snowball fight arena...it was quite interesting for a while! This picture is after the snowball fight, you can tell because all of the snow has been trampled through so much! All of the kids that stayed after the snowball fight decided to build a snowman.

Landry posing while building the snowman. What a fun day! Now we're off to eat some homemade sugar cookies (with icing and sprinkles, of course)!

Merry Christmas! (from Logan)

Merry Christmas! Logan looked out at the amazing accumulation of snow here and is insisting that it must be Christmas. We've had a fun day watching Scruffy in the backyard running around chasing the snowflakes and we've been catching snowflakes with our tongues! Also, Landry had an exciting event happen this morning...he lost one of his top teeth! He couldn't wait for me to take a picture and put it on the blog! So, Merry Christmas everyone!

Two toothless boys!

The Sleepover

This weekend we had our first sleepover...Landry invited his friend Cole to come stay with us and we had so much fun! We built a tent/fort (it actually ended up being all kinds of things throughout the evening) and the boys slept there. We played with lots of legos, ate pizza, and watched some cool movies until everyone collapsed in exhaustion! It was a great time...thanks for coming Cole! What a fun way to start the weekend!
