Snow...in Austin, Texas...in late February?!

Not sure I would believe it either, if I didn't see it with my own two eyes! When we woke up last Tuesday this is what we saw outside....













SNOW!
This was Clay's very first time to experience snow...Texas style! That's right, we literally rolled out of bed, put on the warmest clothes we could find (sans hat, gloves & scarf because that's how we roll in Texas...who owns those anyway?!) and rushed outside to enjoy the flurries before they magically disappeared!














Clay was a little hesitant at first to walk out into the flurries, but once he saw Mama do it, he thought he'd get in on the action. His reaction was priceless...he said, "Mama, the snow looks like little white balls of fluff! It's soft and sooooo cold!" I know it's hard to see in this pic, but here is Clay holding his first icy snowball!















BRRRR!















He decided to take a bite! After a few minutes of playing, the flurries slowed down and Clay asked, "Hey Mama, where did all the snow go?!" Then he promptly followed up with, "Let's go back inside...it's freezing out here!" It snowed on and off all afternoon and after about 4 times of running in and out, we decided to enjoy the rest of the snow day bundled up inside! :)

Clay put his Mater tow truck here during our first outing and the next time we came out to play, he was starting to be covered with snow!










Catching snow in our cup to put in the freezer and save for later! ;)
Even though I am a hot weather girl at heart, I must admit, the snow was a pretty magical site and at times it looked like a snow globe outside of the window! I was so excited to share this first with my big guy!

Tool Time!

First of all, thank you everyone for your well wishes! Baby Yeamans #2 is due August 20th and we just couldn't be more excited about our growing family. Now you know why my blogging has gone by the wayside so to say. This pregnancy has been MUCH different than with Clay. I have been sooooo nauseated from day one...sun up to sun down. Ugh...and although I am thankful for knowing this means I have a healthy baby growing strong, it has made it difficult keeping up with my ever so active almost 3 year old! I feel like I have been very high maintenance this pregnancy too...crazy cravings, one minute loving the bite of food I chose and the next minute gagging at the thought of that same food, having to change our toothpaste because I just couldn't stand the taste, smell, etc., having to throw out candles that I've loved because I can no longer tolerate the scent! Wowzers!

With that said, now that I am at the 12 week mark, I am having more manageable/good days. So here are some pics of Clay at our Home Depot's Kid's Workshop. It was the COOLEST experience and we will definitely be visiting every first Saturday of the month to build projects. Clay loved every minute of using "real tools"!














He's got the hammering down...





In action...his expression here says, "Come on mama...I'm workin' here!"












Using the screwdriver




Precision!

A little plug for Home Depot! :)







Our finished project!














So very proud!

















In his gear!












His very own apron...didn't want to wear it though when he was working. He told me, "Mama, it's too big and is botherin' me."




Clay's certificate for completing his project!
Thank you Home Depot! We look forward to next month!
