If all of the snowflakes...

were Hersey bars and milkshakes;

Oh what a day it would be!

Look at that huge snowflake on Stone's tongue!

Snow Day #2

We are in the midst of the Winter Storm of 2010! It all began yesterday with rain followed by sleet, some freezing rain, then finally snow! Since the roads were predicted to be so bad this morning OC and all the Starbucks in the area closed for the day so that meant even Lj and I got a true snow day! It has snowed pretty much all day today! It is beautiful and being a Northern girl... I love the snow!

Stone enjoys playing in the snow and has learned how to adapt to life with no snow pants... jammy pants under your jeans work well!

This Boy.. loves being outside!

Lj being the one who got his driver license in a blizzard always gets the itch to go out and drive on the treacherous snow covered roads! Today we all headed out to find a sled... we hit three stores then ended up at Home Depot where we found a mixing tray. Stones little body fits perfectly in the tray and it was pretty cheap as well!

Stone really enjoyed sledding down the ice covered sidewalk at OC!

After a few times down the sidewalk we decided to hit the snow covered hill... he loved it forwards, backwards and even tripping over!

Stone and his new sled! Ready to go agian!

After a few times down the hill; everyone was turning into a popsicle so we decided to head home and enjoy some coca in our warm house! All in all this is what I call a great snow day!

Fun Times in the Snow!

Stone had so much fun playing in the snow... he got to make snow angels, sled, throw a few snowballs and even eat a little bit! The snow was a great treat for Christmas but unfortunately Oklahoma does not have the equipment to remove the snow so the roads are still crazy 4 days later and we are expected to get more later this week! Fun times for winter break!

Even the poor Canadian Geese and ducks were frozen on the pond!

Snow Day

Stone has been dying for it to snow... he must know he has northern blood in him!   Yesterday, it started snowing (really icing) and most every school was cancelled for today by 2 pm yesterday! The special treat was OC also closed so daddy was home to enjoy the day off! Stone and daddy headed out earlier to run to the store and as they were getting the car ready Stone seized the moment to play... 

Making a Snow Angel!    

His effort pays off in less than and 1/8 inch of snow!

Just enjoying the icy ground... the white stuff was sleet!

**I also get to enjoy some time off... my Starbucks closed early yesterday and today so i get to be off work as well... YAY for snow!

Enjoying the Unseasonal Weather

Stone and I took advantage of the beautiful January weather and headed to the zoo for a picnic and fun before the cold front moved in last Friday!  

Stone and Freedom taking a free ride on the elephant statue... the real elephants are in Tulsa while they build a new area for them here.  

Hanging with the bears! 

As we were leaving the cat forest we saw these leopards come to the watering hole... they were so close.

Stone and Freedom watching the leopard!

No trip to the zoo is complete without a trip to the park. 

The boys walking hand in hand... so precious! They had so much fun! 

Jake, Stone, Freedom, Joe

We had so much fun and look forward to another nice day to head over there again!

Cookie Party!

Stone invited a few friends over today to bake and frost cookies.  It was a blast for the kids and the moms!  Stone says his favorite things about making cookies is; "Um, making cookies with cookie cutters and my friends."

Jake rolling the dough

Stone and MAC rolling the dough... MAC is a pro at cut-out cookies!

Freedom... not to sure what to think of the cookie madness! 

Joe trying not to smile but he has a little one!

Stone is on a roll making cookies!  He and MAC were the last cookie makers standing!

Tyna and her sweet boys, Joe and Jakers!

Time to Frsot! 

J.J. with MAC and Annie... Annie loved to munch on the cookies... How many did she actually eat??

Charity with Courage and Freedom... Charity would win the best decorating award... she is quite talented with limited resources!

Stone had to show Mitzi of to his friends.  Joe and Jake wanted to take her home! 

Freezing Temps, Donuts & Santa

Stone and I headed to the zoo today to see Santa and enjoy some free donuts and cocoa.  Since it was about 12 degrees outside; we skipped the feeding of the animals and headed straight to the canopy where Santa would end up.  We got to enjoy free cocoa and donuts while awaiting his arrival.    

Stone sitting in the 'Big Guys' chair before he arrived... He was so excited to eat donuts and see Santa today!

Relaxing and enjoying the snacks!

Santa has arrived... on a golf cart of all things! 

Stone was so excited to sit on his lap... he went right up there and sat down.  He even carried on a conversation with him!  I was impressed.

A fun picture of the three of us.

When we left the canopy Stone asked me to take his picture as he sat on the rabbit... I am not sure why he would want to sit on metal when it is so cold out but he did. 

Baby, it cold outside! 

We had so much fun and it was nice to get out even though it was so cold!  Maybe next year we can walk with Santa as he delivers the gifts to the animals.
