Snow in Texas!

In Texas we rarely get snow, it's usually just ice and it's awful!

But this year I was surprised by how much snow was pouring out of the sky...I've never seen anything like it here in Texas. We got 6 inches in a matter of hours...that's a big deal.

We were let out of work early on Friday because it hit around noon, so I went by my nephews school and grabbed him. Stace and Jason had gone down to Houston for the weekend, so Chance and I were watching Jax...and getting practice for what life is going to be like in a few years!

Here he is all cuddled up and ready to go....had we known it was going to take 3 hours just to get home, we would've packed more snacks! Stace had sent me with all his bags and snacks on Thursday night, so when I got home I had taken them out of my car. So all we had was a small bag of crackers I had leftover in my purse. Hey looky there...I already passed the first test...have a snack ready to go in your purse!


Over the weekend we played out in the yard, had snow ball fights and built a snowman!













Here are a few pics of our house covered in snow....our first snow pics of the house!



We came inside and Rylee went straight for the fire to warm up!


Jax and I cuddled in my warm bed...and I let him eat chips in my bed! Best aunt ever!
Sweet little face!

That night our neighbors, who we had been meaning to go over and meet for so long, stopped by to ask if we needed anything because they were risking the roads and heading out to the grocery store. While they were there Chance and I showed them around the house and they invited us over for dinner. We are so excited to have such awesome neighbors! Thanks for dinner Tara and Brian! It was delicious and we can't wait for more hangouts!

Getting ready to go next door for dinner, and so Jax can play with their 11 month old.

The next morning Jax insisted we have a superhero breakfast...and we couldn't say no to something as awesome as that!

Magnolia in Waco!

The next morning us girls headed down to Waco to check out Jo and Chips store Magnolia.

The drive isn't bad at all, and when we arrived it was time for lunch so we stopped at Elite Cafe and split a few entrees.

Then we headed over to Cliff's wood shop (Harp Design Co.) to see everything...and his house that Jo and Chip renovated! I had to take a pic of him for proof that we saw him ;) Promise I'm not a stalker! haha




We had to buy something he made out of wood, so we each got a little wooden basket:

Next adventure: On to Magnolia!




Their store is really cute....but really small! Good thing they are moving to a new and bigger location.

But here are just a few things I bought:


After so much shopping we were exhausted from all the looking, standing and running our cards through the machine, that we needed to treat ourselves so we stopped by Lula Jane's - an amazing little cafe that makes everything fresh daily, in house, and they have a garden next door for all the lunches, we were just there for dessert!



We enjoyed our fresh out of the oven chocolate chip cookies, brownies and caramel latte brownies!

On our way home it was mandatory that we stop at the Czech bakery for Kolaches!

Fun night at my Parents

We are a very close family, and I get to see my siblings and parents a few weekends out of the month.

This just so happened to be a weekend that we all decided to come crash at my parents to spend time with everyone. Jax, GiGi and I made a yummy dessert!

Outdoor Kitchen

I really need to post updated pictures, so I will soon!

My mom was in Miami so Chance and I decided to go to my parents to keep my dad and brother entertained. We hung out in the outdoor kitchen and had a really great time.

I wanted to take a pic of them because it looked like they were at a bar and I was their bartender. When I mentioned taking a pic Nate pretended to keel over because he hates how many pictures I take.

Then the second picture, he was serious and Chance thought it would be funny to put on glasses...


Can I just get one serious picture? haha
