Once there was a snowman......

Ever since the first snowfall of the season, Raylee has been begging us to build a snowman and for one reason or another it hasn't worked out. This past week it got up in the mid-fifties and as we were enjoying the warm weather outside I told Raylee that I hoped it would stay this warm. She got really upset and told me that it couldn't get warm because she hadn't built a snowman yet.

Well the stars must have aligned because the very next night it snowed a couple of inches and Corey had the next day off which made ffor prime snowman building conditions. The only thing that would have made it better was some wetter snow, but we'll take what we can get!

So, without further ado, I introduce you to Zebro (and no, that's not a misspelling) the snowman...

(Don't mind Jackson's lack of winter apparel and shoes. He was only out there long enough to snap a few pictures.)

Unfortunately, the purple cowboy hat didn't have the same magical properties that Frosty's old silk hat had, but Raylee loves her snowman. She checks on her a few times a day to see how much she has melted.

Later that night Raylee told me that now summer could come because she got to build her snowman, so bring on the warm temps!

Born to be a Dolphins Fan

Another superbowl has come and gone, and just like the all the others, we had a big ol' party with Corey's fam full of yummy food and football (although I saw approximately 3 minutes of the entire game). Everybody dresses up in their favorite team's colors whether or not those teams are playing in the superbowl. This, of course, means that Raylee and Jackson were sporting dolpins jerseys. Corey is determined to brainwash them while they're young to be dolphins fans. I, however, don't care for the dolphins colors (because that's why you pick a team, right?), but I do have to admit that these two kiddo's looked pretty cute in their "superbowl shirts", as Raylee calls them. :)

Who knew?

Who knew that balloons would provide this little boy with so much entertainment?
Jackson's balloons from his birthday party finally fell, so I put them in the family room for him to play with while I was working, and he has been having so much fun. They are a combination of a new toy and wrestling partner :) He sees them across the room and starts crawling as fast as his little legs will take him and when he gets close he lunges on top of them.
I think I'm going to be sad when these balloons finally pop :)
