Beckett's Blessing Day

Richard gave Beckett a beautiful blessing this morning.  We are so blessed to have this sweet boy in our family.  We love the sweet spirit that he brings into our home.  We were able to share this special day with our family and friends.

All tuckered out from his special day.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday, to me!  I had a great birthday.  We started the morning by going to an indoor play place for Soren to get some energy out after all of our cold rainy (and snowy) days.  Then my dad took me to Schlotsky's for lunch.  Yum.

After Richard got home from work we headed to a nearby indoor pool to go swimming.  On the way home we stopped by a bakery and picked up some yummy desserts.

It was a great and relaxing day with my favorite people.

One year older!

Snow Day

Winter has (unfortunately) arrived in Dallas, it only took until the first week of March.  We had an ice storm last week as well as a little bit of snow.  And then today we got several inches of snow.  The great thing about snow in Dallas, it means all the schools close and daddy gets to stay home from work because Texans don't drive in the snow.

As soon as Soren saw the snow he started singing "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?"  So of course we had to let him enjoy the snow, Richard was a great daddy (as always) and took him out to play.  Soren loved it and lasted much longer than we expected.

Trampoline Park

There is a great trampoline park nearby that has toddler jump hours (yay no big kids!) twice a week for only $5.  We went a few weeks ago with our PTA group and decided to go again with some friends.  The kids were all in heaven running around and jumping -- every kids dream!
