Snow Day 2013!

I'm pretty far behind, but Tulsa has already started getting their share of winter weather.

SNOW DAY!!

The day it started....

The next morning...

Andrew made one too.

 I spent most of the time inside, but these two brought me some clean snow to make ice cream.

An ice cream delivery to one of our favorite neighbors!

Cold wintery days call for nice warm soups.  Over the coarse of these snow days we had corn chowder, chili and chicken tortilla soup.

Complete with the best tomato cutter. (It was a butter knife.)

*Yummy Breakfast Treats*

*Snacks & Puzzles*

*GAMES & Funny Faces*

We love snow days around here!!!

Thanks for checkin' in!!

Hadley Day!!

With Oliver's arrival just around the corner we wanted to do something special for Hadley.  

So we had what we're calling "Hadley Day!" 

Hadley started the day by sleeping till 9.

*Breakfast at Krispy Kreme!*

 She sampled several.

*SANTA!*

She was so excited to see him.

*She loves the carousel!*

*Build-a-Bear*

This was Hadley's first ever trip to Build-a-Bear.  She made herself a Twilight Sparkle and made Oliver his first bear that she named, Teddy.

Pretty excited!!

*Lunch at Panera*

Most of the Hadley Day events were surprises, but we let her choose her meals.  We even suggested Chuck-E-Cheese, but she still wanted Panera. (After we talked her out of the mall food court.)

*Frozen*

She has been so excited to see this movie.  She actually put a couple things on her Christmas list from this movie even though she hadn't seen it.

*Dinner at Chick-a-Flick*

*Lights at Rhema*

After changing Hadley into her snow bibs and layering we made a quick walk through.

We also drove through a couple neighborhoods to look at lights.

*Movie in Mommy & Daddy's Bed!*

Yesterday was so much fun!!  Our sweet girl had been thoroughly spoiled and I hope she knows how special she is to me and her daddy!!

We love you Hadley Marie!!

Thanks for checkin' in!!

What Does the Fox Say?

Monday, we had a fun little date with friends.  The mommas (minus myself) crafted and the kiddos played in the dirt.  Somehow I missed getting a picture of Aubrey but she was thoroughly enjoying the dirt as well.

We had a surprise from zulily when we got home.  Her Christmas Jelly the Pug dress!!  Now we just have to wait till it's appropriate to wear in public.

It has been so pretty outside lately that we just couldn't pass up the opportunity to get some outside time, after school tuesday, before it gets too cold.  Hadley enjoyed playing, picking flowers, chasing butterflies and mostly climbing all over her daddy.

That evening Cece came in town.
Andrew and I got a date, while she and Hads had a date of their own.

It was a short trip and she had to head back Wednesday morning, but not before we made a trip to Tally's for breakfast before school.

Hadley loves her some Cece.

If you checked in yesterday for my bump date you saw I had another appointment.  You may have also seen that I passed my glucose test, YAY!  Not going to lie I was a little nervous about it this time around.  The drink actually made me sick, which I thought for sure was a sign I had failed.

Anyway, little man is doing great and growing a lot.  She measured him at 2 lbs. 11 oz.

After my appointment Andrew and I grabbed some lunch and he showed me the YouTube sensation, "What Does the Fox Say?"

Several people said their kids loved it so we showed Hadley.  She was not interested in the slightest.  In fact, if you listen the first thing she says when I start recording is, "This is a grown up movie."  We ended up turning it off since she wasn't really into it.  

I guess we don't have to worry about this becoming a problem for her.

Some pumpkin cheesecake, after church, in celebration for passing my test was definitely in order.

Today, Andrew and I picked the Hads up together and took a stroll at the park.  We went a little over a mile and Hadley had a blast.  She skipped along, most of the way, then stopped at the monument and requested a picture.  (It's a dog chasing some birds.  Hadley didn't pick the best side of the dog to get a picture with.)

LOVE this kiddo!!

Tonight, while eating dinner we were definitely making memories.  I literally could not stop laughing,  Hadley and Andrew were both killing me.  You just can't beat dinner around your table with the fam.

We leave tomorrow for a weekend in Branson with cousins.  It's going to be a blast, can't wait!

Thanks for checkin' in!!
