Toofers!

Hey Miss Cheekers!


Did you know you've got two tiny little toofers bustin' through?



Yep.  It's true.
Will you show me those toofies?



Pleeeeeease?


Nope? 
Well...what if I tried to make you smile?



Not funny?  Mmmkay.  
What if I just gently took my finger and ever so slightly tried to open...



You wanna chew on my finger.  I get it.  
Well, what if I laid you down like this and...


That's a no go.  Aaaalllrighty.
What if I made silly faces...




Okay!  Too much.  I get it.
Well...after about 80 thousand pictures...









I managed to just barely get a shot of those chompers!


The cutest pearly whites you ever did see!

Cowboy Boots

It's snowing.  Again.  When it should be mild and sunny.
What's a girl to do when winter will never end?
Write an overdue blog post.

Cowboy boots.

I wondered when my guy would start asking for a pair of them.  I figured it was coming eventually.
And after a guided tour through the treasure trove that is Grandma and Grandpa's basement, he stumbled upon this old pair...

These comfy, well-worn gems belonged to his daddy years ago.  Daddy got them from his grandparents when he was a kid.
They're a little too big for Sam, but no matter.  He fell in love.


He even found a hat...



After insisting on wearing these over-sized boots everywhere and then witnessing him almost falling down the stairs twice, we decided he needed a pair of his very own.  A pair that fit. 

In keeping with the grandparent-cowboy-boot tradition, it was off to the western supply store with Grandma and Grandpa so they could get him his very own pair.  He was so excited!


Thank goodness he was drawn to the $30 pair of boots.  Did you know they make kids boots that cost $150 and up?  We're not that serious.  He settled on the black pair.

After trying on his new boots, he was asked to pose for a picture.  Without skipping a beat, this is what he came up with:







Perfect amount of cheese, Sam!

And no jeans?  No problem.  These boots go with everything!






Oh...and by the way...



This is what we woke up to.  Two to four more inches is expected today.  It's March 24th.
Grumpy Cat, how do we feel about snow around here...


That's right.

Snowmageddon

It's snowed here lately.  A lot.


We had 2 snow storms back to back, with a really warm day in the middle.  Typical random Kansas.  After a couple of mild winters, it was actually fun!  Well...it was fun if you weren't sick and didn't have to be out on patrol on the horrible roads in the middle of a blizzard helping a moron driving a teeny tiny "smart" car get out of a ditch.  


Poor Andy!  But honestly, the police crown vics with their bald tires and the detective cars...wait for it...Toyota Prius' (Prii? Priuses?) weren't any better.  They got stuck all over town.  Pathetic.  On the bright side, Andy being out in the first snow storm made his cold a million times worse, so he stayed home to rest during the second snow storm.  We got a nice, cozy, relaxing, germy day at home.  Thankful he got to rest, though!

Okay.  Back to the fun stuff.  My cute 3 year old in the snow.  Fair warning...2 snow days worth of pictures here.  You've been warned...

Lesson learned: we should invest in snow boots for our child.  And some snow gear that isn't size "18 months."  He's a trooper, though.  And it really helps you balance if you stick your tongue out...




 He helped his sick Daddy shovel...







Dude, you missed a spot...


Then, he tried to bust my camera...


He made sure the car stayed "warm"...



He jumped...




He built a fort...




Placing the snow ever so delicately...



Finished product...


He got pelted...

 Again...

 And again...


 And again, and again...




Then handed out paybacks...



Grumpy Cat made an appearance on the warm day...

That's better!


Did you have fun despite your embarrassing snow gear?











Snowmageddon 2013!!
