Snowy FUN weekend!

The official report said we got 12.5 inches!
Chris and Hemi Dog

The snow man lost his head after a couple of
hours....it turned to slush real quick,
it was great snow for packing.


I couldn't tell you who had more fun, the boys or Hemi!

Our neighborhood was busy building snow people/family!

A cowboy snowman with an AX??
The coolest thing about snow in Texas,
you DON'T HAVE TO SHOVEL, it doesn' t
last that long.....Long eneough for me...lol

A taste of Chicago....

This morning waiting for the bus we noticed the Iris'
are thinking about spring!
I think the palm tree is in SHOCK!



It's on......


Some of us have NEVER seen snow before!!

Seems more like Christmas than Valentine's Day!

They say this is the most snow Dallas area has seen
in 30 years.....Craaazy weather....the kids loved it!!

Blast from the Past...

The coolest part about Facebook is finding old friends.
I Looked Laura Clarkson up and we chit-chatted for
awhile before she revealed she lived about an hour away
from me in Emory, Texas....what are the odds??
We both drove for 30 minutes and had lunch at Sister's
cafe in Canton and talked about so much....

We talked about DRESSAGE at Barrington, IL

We talked about my first Cross-country corse
where I fell off and my sweet mare Bailey just
stood there and waited till I got back on and then
had a clean round.....I was pumped!
We talked about HOOSIERState Park in Indiana!

We talked about Kentucky Horse Park where we
had a blow out and sat on the side of the road for
hours before someone helped us!
We laughed about the infamous Torrence
Watkins who made my children question
"Why is so mean and why does she call your
riding crop a pea shooter?"
Laura remembered the boys and how all the
pony clubbers were always surrounding Tony and
how funny Chris was when he would walk BUBBA!
Laura remembered the day Tony did his
first photo shoot for his modeling career!
THe best part of the whole afternoon was when
we both agreed that LIFE is not about horses....
Laura shared with me the trials and tribulations of
her life being a single MOM now and losing her business and
making a decision to move to Texas......she expressed
to me that she knows that GOD has a new season for her
and wants to know what it is......I was excited that GOD
sent me to love on her......Isn't GOD awesome??
