Snow Angels

It snowed here. I am not kidding you. It snowed a whole 12 inches in Dallas TX this past week. Thank goodness we have hand-me-downs that come from VT so we were ready. Doug and Chloe had a ball. They made snowmen, they made snow angels, they threw snow balls, the rolled around on the ground, they tried a garbage can sled (movie below), etc... You name it they tried it. Chloe loved being outside in the snow it was great. This picture is of the two as they head out around 7am on the first morning of the snow. I think both Doug and I were worried it would melt fast so we wanted her to get a chance to play in it before it disappeared. Come on, you have to admit these two are just the cutest.

Here is a picture of the first snowman they built. I think they built 4 in all.

Chloe trying to catch the snow in her mouth as it falls.

My cuties making snow angels.

Chloe and her buddy Dax eating Snowcream. Dang was that stuff good. Dax's mommy Cindy brought out all the fixings and we made a big batch of snowcream. The kids loved it. Ok the adults loved it too :).

Even Dylan joined in the fun. He and Chloe were throwing snow balls and playing chase.

Doug used a make shift sled that Cindy had and dragged Chloe down a trail. Chloe seemed to really like the sled action.

Chloe and Dax heading back to the house. We had to bribe them to come in. They both I think would have stayed outside all night if we let them. Obviously it was the lure of hot cocoa that got them moving.

Play Date - Feb 2010

Just a few pictures of Chloe at a recent play date with our neighbors the Day's. The cute little blond girl is Audrey and you know the rest of us. Her brother Brendon was there as well but all you can see is him climbing into the tent. They had a blast.

Soccer

Ok having all sorts of trouble with this post right now and formatting so bear with me on this one. As most of you know Chloe began Soccer in December. It is once a week, it is all drills and she has a parent out on the field with her doing the drills at all times. She needless to say adores it. The pictures of her with the hula hoop are a game that they play where the parents roll the hoop and the kids try and catch them before they hit the ground. The picture of her with the cone is this cool game where they kick the cones over and then have to gently use their foot to tip it back up. They also do stretching as you see. They smell their feet and then the coach goes around and asks what their feet smell like. Chloe likes to pick things like cake and ice cream, love it. She really just loves running around. Sometimes she gets so tired she just sits down and waits for the next drill. Enjoy the pictures and movies and if you are in town on Saturday you can come to practice with us.
