The Meek Family: January & February happenings

We had a fun January and February! Here's some pics from our travels and events.

At the beginning of January we met my dear friend Trisha and her precious girls Mia and Maggie at the lakehouse in Breckenridge. Colton and Mia are still great friends, so we love getting together to let them play. It was a fun three days full of silly, busy kids!

All decked out in life jackets to head down to the boat dock.

Sadie fell down and was pretty frustrated when she couldn't get back up!

Sweet friends hugging (I'm sure we asked them to do this for a picture)

Little Maggie

Fun in pajamas

They loved rides on the golf cart...

and feeding the goats and mule

Back in Midland....

after two great snow falls we had yet another one in January. This one was a record breaking 10 1/2 inches.

She loved eating snow!

When daddy got home we bundled back up and headed to our nearby park with hills (very small hills!) and tried sledding.

Sadie wasn't a fan

They are both pretty wimpy in the snow, and don't like keeping mittens on. So, we spend a lot of time getting dressed and a very short amount of time playing outside. :)

Colton and daddy built a snowman together. Colton named him Alligator.

On the road again....

at the end of January we flew to Houston to celebrate my Grandpa's 85th birthday. He preached at his church that morning, and the whole family (minus David and Colton) were there.

Colton spent the entire night before throwing up. So, he and daddy stayed home from church. Poor guy....it was definitely the worst tummy bug he's ever had. He felt better by the time family came over to continue the birthday celebration.

Lots of fun playing hide and go seek in the sheets

The kids and I stayed a couple of extra days to enjoy time with family. We went to the Houston zoo one day, and the kids loved it.

The first hour we walked around and all Colton talked about was seeing alligators, so we finally found one. He loves alligators. He wasn't sure what to think about this albino one.
