Texas Boy

When Levi was born I secured rights to take pictures at some point during football season with Levi that were football themed. These are actually his 8 month pictures, but I’ve had so many other pictures I haven’t had a chance to post these. I was also a bit upset about the Sooners proving that not only where they land thieves they can also steal championship game chances. I plan on teaching Levi that 45 is greater than 35, but in oklahoma and the BCS this isn’t the case. However, I digress, so without further ado, the pictures.

Levi loves my hats and plays with them as much as he can.

He also loves to clap.
We spent lots of time looking at each other making goofy noises and laughing. Its a ton of fun.
Look at those bright eyes.
I think he was trying to get mom to pick him up 😛
Rocking the hat.
Who knows, in 10 or so years we could have another one of these with a uniform on.
He likes the football.
Here he is with Cooper, his giant Longhorn.
There’s the trademarked Levi tongue.
Happy smile with mommy and daddy holding him up.
This is a great one, love those cheeks.
There’s the teeth.
This is some of the furniture from the picture studio, we thought it was colored for the theme, so here it is.
The tongue again.
We had trouble keeping his shoes on, they are fun to play with.
He loves standing.
Peeking out from under his blanket. He was once wrapped up in this blanket. Hard to believe he fit, but he did.
Hard to believe he fit, but he did.
Love that smile.
With Cooper and Ike hanging out.

I chose a different computer than Kendra, so this is a different picture. Its Levi playing in one of the dog’s houses. I’ve actually already blogged about this. I won’t do #4, since I don’t pass on chains, but there’s the picture. Mine’s funnier than Kendra’s too :oP

This picture was taken on our anniversary in 2007. We were celebrating our 6th at a place called Chabuca’s. It is one of those places that they walk around with roasted meat and slice off what you want. This is pineapple. It was super fun and a TON of food. I was about 2 months pregnant at the time.

I tag Sarah, Misty, Jennifer H., and Amy.

Snow

Yes, snow at our house in Houston. We also have cats sleeping with dogs, no reports of pigs flying though. We got about two inches or so of snow at our house. Its very odd to have it here. I wore shorts Tuesday afternoon, by Wednesday at 7 it was snowing. Levi got to experience his first snow. When we got into Baltimore there was some, but it stopped coming down by the time we had him out. Last night he got to go experience it. He seemed to like it and I can see future fun playing in any snow we encounter.

Here’s a great family shot with the snow falling.

Here’s our yard all decorated with snow. No flash, so its a bit dark.
Here’s one of our decorations. It says Merry Christmas and has our names on the ornaments, its a bit hard to tell though with all the snow.
Our next door neighbors built a 6.5 foot tall snowman using the snow in their back yard. It has 3 Musketeer eyes, a baby carrot nose and beans for a mouth. The “corncob pipe” is a dum dum sucker.
Here’s a more head on view.
One of our neighbor’s kids made a snow angel in our yard. Levi was already in bed, and he’s a bit young to do it anyways, so we didn’t mind him putting one in our yard.
Across the street we made a snow man that had to be close to 7.5 feet tall. I had to reach above my head to do anything on top of it. It had oranges for eyes, an orange popsicle for a nose and Hershey’s mini chocolates for a mouth.
The snowman across the street decided it was time to party, he drank a whole bottle of Jose Cuervo.

It was loads of fun getting to play in the snow. By morning it was starting to melt and reality set in. I was up until after 1, so getting up early sucked. Driving in was worse, most overpasses were closed due to the chance of ice. In Texas we aren’t setup for that, so there are no ice trucks. Instead they sand the bridges, but they weren’t really ready for it, so most of them were just closed if possible. It took me over 45 minutes to get into work today. It normally takes 15. Bah humbug to that. It was still worth it though. Now if it happened every day for a long time I’d be tired of it. But in Houston, where it snows once every 5 to 10 years usually, I can deal with it.
