Mother Nature has a sense of humor

Last week we had a beautiful day so we had to make the most of it and get out to the park!  It was sunny, beautiful, warmish, and just so refreshing!  The kids had so much fun playing on the playground, especially Andrew and little J.  I'm not sure they can ever remember even playing on the slides last year!  They were all smiles and giggles.






I love these shots of J and little J!  J was spinning with little J and little J was loving it!  It was so adorable!


(The picture is supposed to be one up)




Our park trip came to an end when it started it get a little windy and we felt a few raindrops.  We held out for as long as we could, but finally had to admit defeat and head home.  Apaarently we weren't fast enough because we got caught in some pretty "fun" rain on our walk home.  Poor Andrew, he was crying the whole way home and I didn't take the time to stop and see what was going on.  When we got home and I finally got him out his little hands were ICE cold!  We got all wrapped up in a blanket and snuggled on the couch and a few minutes later he was starting to defrost.  He did take a great nap that day :)

Now, this is what we woke up to the next morning....




I thought for sure we were done with snow.  I was so confident that I actually packed up all our snow stuff and put it all away.  It felts so wonderful to get all that junk out of my closet!  So, of course it had to snow. :)

Before we knew about this amazing storm that was coming our way, I had gotten the kids all excited to go to California to surprise my family for Ahma's big birthday bash!  I had it all worked out with Joy, I was packed, ready to go, car gassed and all.  When I woke up and saw all this white I changed my mind about driving alone 9 hours with 3 kids in a mini van in a storm.  My kids were VERY mad at me!  We missed the party and seeing my side of the family.  Ahma did have a wonderful birthday though and was surrounded by people who loved her...and in the hearts and thoughts of those of us who were a little farther away :)  HAPPY BIRTHDAY AHMA!  WE LOVE YOU TONS AND TONS!

That snow storm was amazing. I swear there were 12" on the ground when I stepped out side. I am glad you took pictures of this because it already has melted away! And the crazy thing about that day, is it was beautiful and sunny in the morning and then it just dumped all this snow.
