I Don't Believe My Eyes...

I live in Texas and we don't see snow all that often. Until Thursday February 11, 2010!

This is the front of my house

The weather man predicted snow and of course like most of the time, we never see it or it doesn't stick. Boy did we get a surprise!! We broke record for snow fall in the DFW area. I live a little south of the Dallas area and I think we ended up with just a little bit more. Like 10 inches!!!!! We left work at 3:30 on Thursday so we could make it home safely in the snow. I think we left a little bit too late...it took us an hour and half to get to Ennis, where on a normal day it takes 45 minutes. The snow fall was beautiful. I have never in my 28 years seen anything like it.

This is my backyard

Look how thick the snow is on the patio table

I hope to see it again and I would love Kynlie to see it. She won't remember, but don't worry...I took lots of pictures for her.

Friday we did not have to go to work. YAY!!! So of course, what else did we do? We played ALL day long in the snow. After breakfast, we all got dressed and bundled up and headed over to my n-laws house. They live way out in the country and have a large pasture and a tank dam. We had a blast!!!

Here are pictures of our house and around our house before we left.

Our tree in the front yard

Our neighborhood

Doesn't look like Texas to me

I love this picture of the American Flag with the snowy trees in the back ground

How pretty is this

At Nana's and Pawpaw's ready to play in the snow

Watching daddy throw snowballs at momma

Going for a ride with Pawpaw

What better way to keep your milk cold, but in the snow

I don't think Kynlie will be pulling anyone out of the snow with her tractor

We tried sledding with Kyn by her self...Not a good idea. She wasn't too impressed

So she rode with daddy

This was just a little hill. We hadn't got to the dam yet, she didn't know what she was in for

The Tank

This what we like to call "Red Neck Knee Boarding"

Beautiful horses in the snow. I love these pictures

My edited version

Brad attempt at surfing down the dam

Sledding again with daddy. Still not too thrilled about it.

Momma's turn. So much fun!!!!

Now Pawpaw's turn

Just hanging out, watching all the wipe outs

Nana had to try it out too

Silly face

After all that fun we had, Kynlie started to get fussy. She was sleepy, hungry, and needed to be changed and I'm sure she was cold. So we all headed in and my awesome mother-n-law made us a homemade lunch. Fried pork chops, mash potato's, homemade gravy, sweet potato fries (they were to die for), rolls, and sweet tea. It doesn't get any better than that. We ate, threw our clothes in the dryer, watched a little T.V., changed some diapers, and visited. Then Brad's sister, her husband, and their daughter came over and it was time to go out and build a Cowboy Snowman. We couldn't do it with out Karlye there.

Kynlie enjoyed the snow a lot better after a full belly, dry diaper and a friend to play with

Helping Pawpaw build the Cowboy Snowman

Tada... Cowboy Kubin Snowman. Pawpaw's hat, Nana's scarf, charcoal eyes, snow nose, tin foil belt buckle, pawpaw's work gloves, rope, and a dummy stir to rope.

Time for the snowball fighting

Taking it all in

Sweet Karlye and the snowman

Our little family

There you have it. Our fun day in the snow. I'm sure we'll never see snow like that again. I sure hope we do though! Now it's time for the summer, my favorite time of the year!!!
