Happy Birthday to Brighton!!
We had planned to go see my grandmother last weekend but thanks to the snow we couldn't go. So, we decided to go this past weekend instead. She lives in Warner Robbins, GA, which is at least a 5 hour drive. We left Thursday afternoon. Baylor hates riding in the car. Other than that part, it was a great time!! Its is always fun to hang out with Grandmother and she loved seeing the boys, and they had a great time with her at her house. While we were there, we got to see my Aunt Linda and Uncle Fred.
They took us to see their new home, under construction. Loved seeing the beautiful home, and the kids had a ball playing in the yard. They only had 60 acres to roam!
Brighton turned 4 years old on Saturday. Time really does fly. He brought cupcakes to school to celebrate early on Thursday. He was soooooo excited about that!
We went to a Japanese Steakhouse on his official birthday to celebrate. Then, Home Sweet Home for us.
Brighton has forgotten about Batman and has a new obsession of Power Rangers. A full blown obsession! It's been a Power Rangers kind of birthday!
Sunday was beautiful and in the 70's so we got to play outside all day. This was Baylor's 1st time riding as a passenger in the jeep. Made me a little nervous and sad. He is going to be a big boy too, before we know it!

The Big Snow
I have been a horrible, slack blogger in 2014. Mostly because I am so busy at work and then when I get home it is constant chaos and not enough hours in the day! It feels like we are constantly running around from here to there, with the kids, to work, childcare... it's crazy! So, last week we got a little break from all of that. It snowed big time!
On Wednesday at lunchtime it started coming down, and never stopped. Here is Day 1, when we had accumulated about 4 inches.
Playing in the snow! It was coming down hard and fast so it was hard to see. Luckily, I discovered that onion-cutting glasses make great snow blizzard goggles!! I really need to get Brighton some better snow apparel. We will be ready next time!
It turned into falling ice that night and I was petrified that we were going to lose power (this has happened in a bad 3 day way to me before). I was really nervous at the prospect of keeping two small kids warm and fed during a possible outage. On Thursday, the falling ice had turned back into fluffy snow again!
It came down again, all day! At the end of it all we got about 9 inches!! We did a little sledding and goofing off out in it. Jason decided to make a snowman. Only, he decided to be an over achiever and make a colossal snow man!
Yes, he actually got out the ladder!
I realize this snowman looks slightly scary/ugly, but you have to realize that he was so big that finding over-sized features for him was a difficult task, so I came up with the only items that would actually show up on his huge head!!
Finished product:
I was done with the snow after day 2. The boys were making pillow pallets on the floor and jumping around. They are normally not allowed to do this but you kind of have to say screw it, once you are snowed in for a few days!
Luckily we never lost our power and had plenty to eat and DRINK. Yay for snow beers!! Built in cooler all around us!
Baylor found Brighton's old snow/rain boots and was obsessed with them. So cute!
By Saturday, the sun was out, slowly melting away the snow and I was ready to get out of the house! Mickey and Lacey had us over for a low country boil and it was delicious!!
Later that night...
Sunday Jason and I took the boys shopping to get out of the house again.
And now we are back to work/school, daily grind. It was fun while it lasted though!

We had a great weekend. A fun time on Saturday night, celebrating Todd's birthday.
Billie put together a little surprise.
On Sunday, Jason and I got a lot of projects done on the house!!
Now, we are bracing ourselves for another big snow. Possibly. I never believe those weather people when they are THIS sure! That's when it usually doesn't happen. We shall see.

Circus!!
We had a fun weekend. We got to see all grandparents and Aunts and Uncles! The weekend started out with a dinner at a local pizza place for Jameson's 7th birthday on Friday. Yes, 7! She was supposed to have an all girls slumber party but it got postponed due to her school assigning Saturday as a make-up day for the snow.
Saturday we had lunch which Rachel, Donnie, Kelly, Craig and Taylor at Chic Fil a. Baylor played on the play ground there for the 1st time. He loved it. His brother is already a pro.
We visited Max and Connie at their house after lunch.
Ended the day/night by having a cousins sleepover at Lacey and Mickey's. I don't know if this allowed them the amount of sleep that they needed for their big day on Sunday. My parents took them to the circus!! They took Jameson when she was about the age Brighton is now and had a blast so wanted to take them all this time (minus Baylor, who will go when he is old enough to sit through it). I am not sure why Michael is not in any of these pictures, but she was there!
Baylor helped Jason and I at home with a project we needed to do.
Great weekend!!
