February 2011

I was planning on doing a few pictures from different years, but then I started looking at February 2011 pictures and realized that it was such a busy month, it deserved it's own post!

Ice storm

 February 2011 was full of firsts~first plane ride, first time in a hotel, first (and only) snow, first time meeting a lot of extended family...

This has always been one of my favorite pictures!

Dressed pretty and ready to party

These pictures have made me sad, we had no idea that we would lose her to lung cancer just a few months after this trip. Such a blessing this trip ended up being.

Love this one!  We were celebrating his 90th birthday and that's him and his wife out dancing the night away!

Went to The Grand Canyon and it had snowed!!!

~SNOW~

Yesterday, we had lots of snow!!!! Well, lots for Houston at least! It started sleeting around 3:30 and then by 4 when I got home it had turned into some snow mixed in. Eventually the sleet stopped and it was just snow falling. The snow was really heavy at times. I kept going out and taking pictures! Once Chad came home, we both went out and just stood in the snow! I went to bed a little after 10 and it was STILL snowing!!!!! I just knew that I would get a phone call/text this morning saying that school would at least be delayed by an hour or two or better yet closed! I put my cell and home phone beside the bed so when the phone rang early this morning I would be able to pick it up without getting out of the warm bed. WELL........ that didn't happen :( never got the phone call, we had school as usual :( Guess I shouldn't complain since we have already had 9 bad weather days this year and are about to be out for 2 weeks, but it would have been nice to be home today. 5 1/2 days until Christmas Break!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will post snow pictures later, I really took a whole bunch!!!!

Our front yard
Snow on Kit-Kat's head :)

We wanted Kit-Kat to get to experience the snow since she likes cold weather and eating ice! She didn't mind too much, just wouldn't stay still long enough to get a good picture.
