Feb 23, 2010 - It surprised us all and actually snowed in Austin. Miracles do happen. And Grandma Linda was still visiting and got to witness it. I have a lot of childhood memories of the rare snows we had in Huntsville, Alabama. It made it all the more special that it was so unusual. The girls had a great snow-flinging fight and got mostly soaked. Aaahhh, wintertime.
And on February 28th, Mackenzie finally lost her first front tooth. It had been barely hanging on for over a week.

Madison's 4th Birthday
Saturday, January 16th - Yes, we have 2 birthdays in our family within 2 weeks in January. So now it's Madison's turn to Celebrate!!! She wanted her party at the bouncy place and wanted a princess cake - so there you go. Check out the pictures for yourself. She had a great time with her friends: Adelyn Fort, Linley Pittman, Emma Johnson from church, Ezra Brough (family friend), Sophia, James, Tate, Ty, and Landon from school. It was a great party and on the way home Madison said, "I had fun at my party, mama." Mission accomplished.

Mackenzie's Birthday
Feb 18th, 2010 - We all went to Cheesecake Factory where Kenzie got her favorite, Crusted Romano Chicken (split with Dad). Grandma Linda was there and Wendy flew in and met us at the restaurant. So fun to get everyone together for her birthday!

Valentine's Day Parties
Feb 12, 2010 - Yes, the tradition continues... multiple children's Valentine's Day parties on the same day for moms to juggle. But we do it - because we are superwomen!
And on the actual day of Valentine's what do Dave and I do? Yup, run the Austin half-marathon. Isn't that romantic? Luckily for us, Brady and Nat took the girls and we got to stay downtown at the Hyatt. I had been sick all week and didn't think I was going to run but I got up with Dave to support him and walked him to the start line. Then since I was there, I decided I could at least run a few miles with him. After 8 miles I realized I bet I can finish this thing... To Dave's credit he stayed by my side in my snails pace so we could run together. He is the best husband ever. We did not make a great time, but we did finish!!! And eating brunch at Moonshine afterwards was divine. No worries about calories or not eating this or that. We earned it!

Ezra comes to play and stay
Jan 23-31st Ezra Brough came to stay with us while his parents went on a cruise. The girls love playing with him. Although I will admit we had to buy some new matchbox cars because the girls were dying to play with Ezra's. That's what happens when you get an instant brother! Everyone figured out how to share and things went great. I have to admit I was a little teary when it was his time to go. I loved having a little boy around the house. He was my little buddy and came with me to the grocery store and to help set up for a church event. Oh, and did I mention he ate constantly??? I think he liked all the junk food we had. Sorry Jessica, hope I didn't ruin all your hard work. ;)

Dave's 41st Birthday!
January 5th, 2010 we celebrated Dave's birthday at the Cheesecake Factory. The real present was having Chris and Jessica take the girls for a night the Friday before. Our first time ever, to be in our home overnight without our kids. We slept in, went running, ate out. It was awesome. Thank you, Broughs!!!
