Our Snow Day

Jarret here...

This post is long overdue, but life has been busy for us. Katie had a contract job recently which always puts us in survival mode. Her working is definitely a financial blessing, but even more so, it shows me how valuable, diligent, and purposeful she is with her time at home. She is THE best house manager and mother that I know so I'm grateful to have her on my team!



So on to the pictures of our recent activities:

Since we don't see snow very often we obviously do not own a sled. We did find a great substitute though and Julia thought it was a blast! Here she is on mommy's wakeboard being pulled all over the place by me.

















Love this family portrait.











Julia liked me swinging her up and plopping her down in the snow.







Here is my wakeboarder snowman. Lots of folks driving down our street would stop to tell me how freakin' awesome it was. I would always just nod and casually reply, "I know."



It seemed deeper than 7" but definitely the most I've ever seen around these parts.






This picture was actually from the recent Dallas Winter Boat show where Julia and I went for our Daddy/Daughter date with some wakeboarding buddies of mine. She had an absolute blast climbing in and out of about every single boat at the show. A friend of mine (thanks Brian) was watching her for a minute and put her on this "kiddy" tube. Man, she thought that was the coolest thing ever. I guess we better start saving up for one! She is definitely a girl after my own heart. Take note of her "got wake?" t-shirt.
