beautiful weather!!!

i am so thankful for spring time in texas!  its so wonderful out!  this morning at 6:55am KP asked me if it was raining..  i hadnt yet been outside but was sure that it was not raining.  i tapped on the trusty weather.com app on my iPhone and answered back.

'NOPE!  60°. sunny. 30% humidity. 3mph winds.  sounds beautiful!'

then i left the bedroom to start my day and he got ready for work just as we always do.  i did see him a few more times before he left.. and he even kissed me goodbye but i guess i never 'looked' at him.  he called me about 45 min later...  'honey, why did you tell me the high was going to be 60° today?  im wearing a sweater and slacks.. im going to burn up when it hits 75°!'


hahaha!   i didnt say high of 60°.  i said it WAS 60°!  [before 7AM!  hmmmmmmm <3]

oops.. i guess he will not rely on jammi-the weather girl any more. =))

and on that note [while the kids are down for a nap..], im going to open the windows, crank some tunes [not so loud that i cant hear them if they need me of course ;)] and do a little spring cleaning!!  MY FAVORITE!!!

happy leap day friends!!

THE MINCHEYs =)!, micky, CHOIR, WORK!, date night, brunch, NASCAR..

..thats ONE FULL weekend!!

..on friday night we got to spend sometime with the Mincheys!  we havent gotten to do that in AGES!  it was SO nice!  we had dinner and drinks at their house before heading over to HANKs to see Micky & The Motorcars with Randy Creed and a few other friends.

on saturday kennedy had to be at school at 9AM for choir rehearsal for an upcoming performance.  and i had to be in Keller for a newborn shoot.. and back in mckinney for a family shoot in the afternoon!!   it felt realllly good to be working!  ..its so hard for me to get motivated to book shoots in the winter months.  especially january and february!  but i am SO ready to get back out there and shooot shooot shoooooot!

we had a dinner date night planned for just KP and i on saturday evening.. but korbie had other plans.  his belly didnt feel well and all he wanted was MOMMMMYYY.  we stayed home and watched the green mile instead.  havent seen that movie in years!  it was still wonderful.  i still cried like a baby.

on sunday morning we got up pretty early.. we had family brunch at the country club.  mmmmmmmm.  we should plan that more often.  =)

in the afternoon the kids and i dropped KP off [and made an appearance] at the annual NASCAR kickoff/Daytona watching party at Randys.  the race was rained out tho.. so KP didnt end up staying all that long either.  we were all home by 7 and in bed early.

full weekend.. completely random.  just the way we like it!

red river pics!

day one.. noonish on friday.  they were READYYY to hit the mountain!

 brye had been up and at 'em since the lifts opened.. i love this pic of jaime [and beau] trying to get in touch with him.  

 beau's hat was forever sideways.  =)

 korb and his little buddy beau!

 kenn!

 random pic of my hunny that i <3

 sweet beau!

so.. on friday morning KP went to shotgun willy's  to get us burritos for breakfast..

saturday morning i decided to join him!  this lovely lady made our burritos while i secretly snapped a pic ;)  i really really really want a vest JUST. LIKE. THAT. for st pattys day!!!

 KP was a wee bit embarrassed that i would sneak that pic.. ha!

 this sign made me giggle..

 this little dude [bex] woke up SICK on saturday morning.  poor guy.

and these two kept him company while we got those burritos..

 and then we were off to the slopes.  KP hurt his knee on friday afternoon so it was a whole different ballgame for everyone on saturday.  he wanted to be on the mountain.. the littles wanted him to be on the mountain.. and i had to pretend that i wasnt excited that he had to hang with me!

 they were more than a little mopey that daddy couldnt hold their hands..

 and he was more than a little mopey too...

 so we walked down to a little cafe at the bottom of the bunny slope and tried to warm up and feel a little better..  

we laughed out loud at the alien lager.  [a few years ago on a trip to NM my parents brought home a 6pack of that stuff.. KP never did open any of it.. just saved it for the memory of my mom & dad buying him a beer! ha!  ..little did we know its nothing special in new mexico. ;)] 

i ordered one.. just so that we could FINIALLY see what it tastes like.  

lol.  turns out its really nothing special.  ick!

 after.. i dont know 30 min on the slopes with out daddy.. the littles decided they were done.  whaaaaa!?!

$32 half day lift ticket.. 45 minutes of skiing/boarding.  hmmmm

so instead we took a few pics, had a few warm drinks and PEOPLE watched!  they all got a taste of what a winter vacay is like for mommy. ;)

 korb and bex make some amazing snow angels!

 kenn's turn to play with the mommys camera..

 [i took this one =)]

later that evening we FROZE our buns off so that the kids could go tubing on the bunny like they did last year!  kp AND i took pics..

it was SO cold!  i decided on something creative with my scarf to keep my ears warm!

 haha!  korbie was NOT happy about sharing a tube with his sister!

 and KP was not impressed with my scarf/ear warmer.

'you look odd.'

thanks love...=)

 brye and beau..

 kennedy [with her hand over her face?]

 brye and beau waiting their turn!

KP.. either trying to stay warm or hoping no one will recognize him with me and my odd look. lol

 jaime and bex!!

 korb!

 last time down!  all 4 together..

 and thats that.  =)  we had a great time Carters!  thanks so much for the invite!!  cant wait til next year!
