HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHANDLER!!!!!

Chandler turned 9 on Monday and he celebrated big....again! Mike and I loaded him and 9 friends from school and baseball and drove them to the Texas Motor Speedway! We started the party by driving around the track in vans. All 10 boys, Mike and Cydney were in one van. Poor Cydney, she will never be the same again! They visited Pit Row and Victory Lane. We celebrated with cake, games and presents in one of the suites overlooking the track.

Chandler's 'race track' cake. Of course, Tony Stewart won. He helped decorate his cake this year.

Chandler had his first experience with 'trick' candles. It took several tries but he finally got them out. He did not know until later that we was blowing out trick candles.
(Luckily we did not set off the smoke detectors.)

FEBRUARY SNOW!

Another beautiful snow fall!! The kids did have school yesterday but enjoyed a snow day today. They went out a couple of times and got soaking wet and cold. Their skin was pink undearneath but they had a ball. The dryer worked over-time today.

Our Winter Wonderland.

WOW!!! Can we go out yet?
