Snow Day

We played outside in the snow today (well...Jayden did). He loved it! We were only out for about 20 minutes or so, but he thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. And, that little stinker shoved a handful of snow down the back of my coat and shirt! It was so cold, and I was one unhappy Mommy. He thought it was hilarious.

As soon as he walked out the door, he dropped to the ground. I thought he had slipped on the ice, but he just wanted to make a snow angel!

So cute!

Checking out his snow angel.

He loved to pick up the snow and try to throw it at me!

I'm pretty sure he threw it in his own face!

He had to go check out his "park." He didn't understand why he couldn't climb up and play. I tried to explain that it was covered in ice, but I don't think he understood.

That's a lot of snow!

Throwing more snow at Mommy.

And more snow.

All bundled up!

Getting a big handful of snow to throw at Mommy.

Ugh! Will it ever end? There's another handful of snow!

He was getting pretty cold.

Just a pretty picture of the snow and ice covered trees.

Lots of Basketball

Back around the first part of January, we all went to an OKC Thunder game (us, the Lees, and the O'Donnells). We had a great time! We went out for dinner before hand, walked in the freezing cold to get to the game, and then had a wonderful time during the game! We played the Indiana Pacers, and won! It really came down to the wire though, and for a while, it didn't look like we were going to pull it out. It was a great game though, and a lot of fun for all of us!

Just a random pic during the game.

Jayden was so excited to be at the game!

Rumble-the Thunder mascot. Jayden loved him!

Just another pic.

We also attended the OU Women's game last Saturday. My parents are season ticket holders, so they go to tons of games, but this was the first one that we made it too this season. We played Kansas, and won! Jayden had a blast!

Jayden's favorite part of the game! This is either Boomer or Sooner (not sure which), and he was playing on the stairs right next to Jayden.

Jayden was so excited!

He got to give him a high-five!

See? We did actually watch the game! We didn't just watch the mascot! :)

Sorry this is so blurry, but I love this pic! Jayden wanted to sit on Grana's lap with his Sooner stuffed animal that he got at the game. He was really into watching the girls play!

Well...that's all for now. We are bracing for a pretty serious ice storm, so I had better get around because they are predicting that we will be losing electricity. :(

Santa Claus!

Last Saturday, Jayden had a really big moment. He got to sit on Santa's lap for the first time! Santa just happened to come to Daddy's work, and all of the employee's children got to sit on his lap. He was so nice, and Jayden absolutely loved him! He told Santa that he wanted a red and yellow big boy bicycle. Santa told Jayden to make sure that when he left milk and cookies for him, that he also left a carrot for Rudolph!

Church Picnic Fun!

We had a church picnic after Sunday night services this past Sunday, and we had a blast! The kids absolutely loved it, and the adults had a great time getting to know each other better. There was a great playground for the kid's to play on, and Jayden had so much fun!

Jayden loved to climb up onto the platform of the playground.

This is big stuff! See him climbing up the ladder? He's never done that before!

Getting ready to go down the slide.

Our good friend's baby. She is so cute! We love her! :)

Climbing the ladder again!

And again!

Climbing up the slide.

Some of our friends from church! Jayden has really taken a liking to John! He had to make sure John was watching him go down the slide!

Jayden and Daddy listening to the game instructions. Jayden was the smallest one to participate!

Waiting for their turn....

Still playing...

Playing the second part of the game!

They were having so much fun!

Climbing on the jungle gym...trying to figure it out.

Success!

Our little gymnast!

Look at that balance!

Hiding from Daddy in the maze!

Daddy hiding behind the house...Jayden is about to find him. :)

We are so glad that we had the opportunity to attend the picnic and get to know our friends even better. We love our church family, and we are really enjoying participating in all of our church's activities. I will be attending a Ladies Retreat this weekend at Lake Texoma, and I am so excited about it! I will be taking my camera, so I will post pictures of our trip next week!
