A Visitor, a Blizzard & a Trip to the Park

I don't think I will ever stop being amazed by the weather in Texas. We can have all 4 seasons in one week! This past week we had a blizzard, and today it's 79 outside. How does that work? It was fun to have the snow, but it was too wet and windy to play in it so the boys just watched it from the window. Papa Dude also came to visit us and only brought a lighter jacket because there was no blizzard predicted when he left home. He came to do a presentation, and then the entire university shut down because of the weather. We were able to have Papa Dude and Daddy home for an extra day and a half. It worked out really well for me! Then yesterday with all the snow gone and weather in the 60's, we were at the park!

They said we got about 6 inches of snow.  Amarillo got 20 so we were pretty satisfied with our 6!  Poor Papa Dude got delayed going home with cancelled flights, but eventually made it.  The airline lost his luggage on the way here, so I would be surprised if he ever tries to come see us again!

This is a long video, but pretty funny to watch two little boys trying to catch a light.  I knew cats and other animals did this, but my children?  It kept them entertained for a while.  Kyler kept saying, "I got it!" every time that the light went off.  It was pretty funny to watch.

This is what we had to deal with every time we had to leave Papa Dude.  He spent two nights at a hotel, and then we took him to the airport.  After throwing a major fit in the car on the way back home each time Kyler was separated from Papa Dude eventually we just got this pathetic whining.  I completely forgot to take pictures with Papa Dude in them, but the boys LOVED having him here!
 

That little smile of success when he made it to the top!

Kyler's little ornery grin!

Peek-a-Boo

All the boys kicking around a ball.  Of course all the other boys at the park had to join in too.  I guess I am just meant to be surrounded by boys.

Why do boys always end up playing in the dirt?

Hold on Kyler!  He acutally held on pretty well, even when he started swing himself.

For some reason the ball helped to balance Damon on the slide.

The expression we get every time Damon wants to make sure we see something that is amazing to him.
