Our trip to snow with the Whites, and fun in the sun in Austin!

Carl, Luke and I just got home from a fun filled week out in Colorado! We had a great time with Ben, Amanda and Caroline playing in the snow! Luke and Caroline had a great time together, and they had so much fun playing in the snow, riding in the sled, and building a snowman! We also took them on a horse drawn sleigh ride, and up to the top of the mountain for a fondue dinner on Valentine's Day. It was a great week!

Back home in Austin we have been spending a lot of time enjoying the beautiful weather! It has been in the upper 60s and low 70s for a while now, and Luke just loves to be outside. He spends a lot of time on his swingset, playing with toys, and digging around in his new sandbox! Here are some pictures form the last couple of weeks:

Two little Texans with a big snowman! Luke was much more interested in eating the snow!


All 3 of us getting ready for the sleigh ride. Those horses were huge!


Now for a change of scenery, here are some recent pictures of Luke out enjoying some time in our backyard! He loves to swing, and will stay in that swing all day if you let him!


Checking out the rock climbing wall on the side of the swingset. I think we had better master walking before we tackle this!


No matter how much sun is in his eyes, I just can't convince Luke that sunglasses are a good idea. This is a stylish look he's got going though!


Investigating some of the bushes in the yard


We just put out this sandbox for Luke since he liked to dig in the dirt so much, and I think it's pretty obvious how excited he was! Although this is the last smile we got, because he spent the rest of the time chewing on sand. Yuck!


This truck is perfect for driving aorund in the sand!


Luke also just got this new table and chair from his Nana and Opa. He loves to sit there and eat his meals like a big boy! It's the perfect size for him!

How cute is Luke sitting and eating like a big boy! I don't think Loralei would have the attention span to sit there - she's come over and get a bite and then go off playing. haha

And I know I told you before, but the pics from your vacation came out awesome! You look beautiful and I love the family shots the best :) Go Cubbies!
