Farmer Loyd

Loyd has been carefully tending these 2 pepper plants since they were seeds.  Last week he finally realized the fruit of his labor and picked this beatiful, ripe yellow pepper.  He was kind enough to share this yummy veggie with everyone in the family so we could all enjoy its sweet taste.  He's still tending these cute little peppers, but now he has added a grapefruit seed to his plant collection.  He's already scouting out good spots to plant it in the backyard next Spring when it outgrows its little pot.  He's looking forward to having his very own Texas Grapefruit tree.  Who knew Loyd had such a green thumb!  I love SE Texas in January.  :)

Thanks Santa Fe, Texas "Rocks" for making this little girl's day! We found this beautiful rock sitting outside of the Helen Hall Library last week on our way to Wacky Wednesdays where preschoolers get to do fun activities at the library. The rock says, "You are Amazing. You are worth it!   Be you!" After I read the first part aloud Maeve exclaimed, "I'm amazing! It's for me!" What a fun surprise for a silly little girl.  It sure made her day.

It's been a bit of a warm and dry winter, until our latest epic snow storm!!  We didn't get as much snow as high elevations, but I'm happy with 9 inches in 3 days.  Diana is all in when it comes to playing in the snow, the little boys have been busy as beavers digging snow forts, and Maeve has found that digging out snow paths with her friend Lilly is a great way to "chill" during the afternoon.  :D  The big kids have been busy helping Dustin and I keep the street shoveled out.  Dustin wakes up early every morning to use my Dad's snow plow to clear all of the sidewalks on our street  before the kids have to walk to school. The kids and I have been working hard to keep our driveway and the driveways of some of our elder neighbors cleared after all of this wonderful snowfall.  It's been a fun wintertime treat.  The ward to the child who shoveled the most for this storm goes to Rebekah!  She's a pretty awesome snow shoveler despite her preference for warm

Xavier is getting down to work on this year's science fair project.  He's testing to see which oil is best for popping popcorn.  It's important science. John and Diana are enjoying playtime inside boxes, because boxes are the best, of course! John is starting to have fun playdates with friends from the neighborhood.  It's so fun to find good friends who share a love in all things Paw Patrol!
