Surprise Trip

We decide last minute to take a trip to Michigan to visit Jeff's Mom. She was a little thrown off by the night before we were coming call to say we were coming, but loved having us there anyway! Texas boys in Michigan snow. Nothing made them happier then the dirty parking lot snow at the Arbys we stopped at for lunch. The promise of more/nicer/cleaner snow at Grandma's house is what got them back in the car.
Grandma has this rocking horse that is now the perfect size for Kyle. We would sit and rock away on it non stop. That is except for when Tyler and Dylan where pushing him off so they could have a turn.
We also got to see Uncle Terry while we were there! He was getting ready for finals, but made some time to come and hang out with us for a day! Like the beard?
We also got to see some extended family. Jeff's Uncle Ned and his girls, Molly, Jenna, and Rachel, and also Pat's parents.
Aren't they cute?
We had a great time even though it was really, really, really cold. The kids loved seeing and being in the snow especially.
A little instruction on exactly how sledding works. And then they were off!
A little instruction on making snow angels, and they were off! Jeff was laughing really hard at me getting my rear in the snow to make a snow angel. This pic was acceptable however I will not be posting the one he wanted, of me trying to get up out of the snow with no help from him and trying not to ruin my angel.
To Jeff: Just because I take a picture of you does not mean you have take one of me.
