big bird

tyler and his girlfriend....she just doesn't know what's coming...

oops...i am caught!

so...how do i say this...but tyler has a girlfriend.

her name is big bird. (and i know big bird is really a boy...but tylers big bird IS a girl...for obvious reasons)

our neighbors donna and wes gave him this stuffed big bird for christmas and he just loves it...a lot!

seriously, i gave tyler the big bird for the first time and he just gazed at her for a while...then took her head like he was fixing to make out with her...and then DID!!! he just sucks on her beak and it seriously looks like he's kissing her. i about fell out of my rocker the first time he did it i was laughing so hard!!!!! anytime chad or i need a laugh, we just give tyler his girlfriend...big bird!

Snow Storm of 2010!!!

sweet baby getting all geared up to go outside and see his snowman

"are you serious, i really have to go outside in this?"

the family trying to huddle by the fire to keep warm. daddy even made us our morning coffee by warming up some water in a saucepan in the fire!!!! notice rose in the background trying to stay warm on my....snuggie!!! ha!

Well what a nice surprise to wake up last Thursday morning to a crazy amount of snow in Dallas (so much so in fact it set a record). we were so excited to go outside and play in it with sweet baby...until our power and 200,000 other dallas residences power went off. after one night in our freezing house expecting our power to come on at any moment...but didn't...we decided we'd had enough and we had to leave. we packed up our refrigerator and sweet baby and headed for zuzie and popies. what great hosts! but luckily, we only had to stay one night because our power came back on saturday morning!!!! we did finally get to make our snowman. here are some pictures!
