We brought snow to Texas!







Much to our surprise we got a quick blast of snow on Wednesday. Carson and I were ecstatic! He and I have been praying for snow. So God answered our prayers with about 3 inches of snow. In fact more snow than they've seen in years. The little girl next store told us that she hadn't seen this much snow in her whole life. We lived it up with a snow ball flight, snow angels and even a snow man. Chris and Colton did not share in our sentiment. Chris said that he thought we moved away from the cold. And Colton pretty much hated it. I don't think he is use to the cold. Well it's back in the seventies just a couple days later, but we enjoyed it while it lasted.

Rachel & Zach's Visit






Rachel called me last Monday and asked what we had going the following day. I responded with an oblivious, "not much." In complete Rachel style she arrived just about 24 hours later. We had a wonderful visit just hanging out and a bit of shopping the first couple days. Oh, and as you can you can see Carson and "Auntie" had fun playing in the irrigation system. On Thursday night Rachel's boyfriend Zach joined us for the weekend. It was wonderful getting to know Zach better, as we had only met once over Christmas. Visiting Ikea was on the top of Rachel's list of things to do; so we spent an afternoon crusing through one of the biggest stores you've ever seen. Since we're in Texas now we wanted to give Rachel and Zach a taste of what it's really like. We went to the historic Fort Worth Stockyards to see a Rodeo. Yeeha! I can't tell you how much enjoyed their visit so much!
