Mamaw's Visit

I loaded these funny so they are in reverse order.....too late to try and fix them all.

This is at the Ft Worth Museum of Science and History in the elevator....
Daddy and Stephie looking out the SUPER COOL window on our way down (elevator)
Stephie enjoying the REALLY FUN dino slide
Daddy and Stephie exploring in the kids museum
Practicing our balancing skills....one of MANY falls, but she kept getting back up :)
love, love, LOVE this picture!!!!
sitting in a dino footprint (not sure how to flip the picture :/ )
Mamaw helping Stephie in
Ice Cream with Uncle Guykel (yes, it's dairy free....well Stephie's is, Micheal has regular bluebell :)
Heading into the Museum....."Stessi hold two hands"
Mamaw and sweet baby Vince. This is Josh's sisters little man. He is two weeks younger than Mary and looks JUST like his Daddy!!! Such a cuttie pie!!
Mary Brooks holding Mary Brooks....LOVE it! and Stephie in the background playing with Josh's iphone....
Mamaw and her Great Grandkids.....such a special picture (if only Stephie would have cooperated more! ahhhh, toddlers ;)
LOVE this one....Stephie after Josh took away the iphone. We had to lay down some new "game" rules after this evening....the kid is addicted! Now it's only for special treats (or when daddy needs her to snuggle)
Stephie and Mamaw playing dolls.....this was the first thing Stephie took Mamaw to do when we got home from the airport "Stephie show room".......they played dolls forever!
We so loved having our Mamaw for a visit and look forward to having her back soon!!! Hate having my girls great grandparents live so far away....I have such special memories of mine and want the girls to have the same! Family is the best and we are SO blessed with wonderful people to love our kiddos!!

Stephie is happily asleep in her big twin bed and Mary took her first "big girl" bath (by herself in her little tub) and LOVED it! Hard day for the mommy.....

Putting stephie's BIG girl bed together!!!!! So excited, pictures soon :)

"You are what you eat".....MAN, that is taking on a WHOLE new meaning!

......amazing grace.......

**SNOW**

Well as I post this we have 9 inches of snow on the ground and it's supposed to continue to fall for a few hours! It's a record in DFW and it's wonderful! I spent the day snuggling with my girls, baking for Josh and then making our Valentine's Day dinner of Spaghetti with homemade meatballs (Josh works tomorrow, Saturday is crazy and Sunday we have homegroup so today was Valentine's day at our house :) Here is how the rest of my family enjoyed the snow :)
Mary all snuggled up in Daddy's Jacket (she LOVES to sleep on his chest!)
