A Blizzard, & Emma's First Valentine's Day!!

We went to Abilene this past weekend for a visit. This was Emma ready to hit the road!

It snowed a ton on Sunday! We tried to drive back in it...

Parker & Mindy had been in Abilene also for Pioneer Drive's Disciple Now (they were group leaders), and we were all driving back together (Parker in his silver Ford Escape, Mindy in her tan Jeep Liberty, & us in Colton's red Ford Escape). We came across a particularly rough section just passed Snyder (about halfway back to Lubbock), and Mindy went flying off of this embankment!

Even though Mindy was fine and her car wasn't damaged at all, it was very scary for all of us! So we decided to stop for the night. We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in Snyder.

Mindy & Emma relaxing after a rough afternoon!

Emma definitely enjoyed our stay at the hotel :)

And this was what the roads looked like when we left Snyder the next day (Monday the 13th) at noon! Crazy Texas weather!!

Headed out to the mall with Mommy!

I made her pose for pictures to send out in our Valentine's. She's such a wonderful little model! :)

Colton took us to dinner at Applebees tonight for Valentine's Day! Emma has been a bit on the grumpy side all day today...I think she has a tooth that is just about to break through and it is really bothering her! Poor baby :(

We were able to convince her to smile a bit for a few pictures though!

I made Emma's entire Valentine's outfit (except for the socks)! While we were in Abilene last weekend, I went to Memaw's for a sewing lesson. She helped me add ruffles to Emma's outfit! I made Colton hold her up so I could get a picture of the ruffles I worked so hard to sew on! Haha :)

Sweet kisses from Daddy!

Colton got Emma & me flowers and Lady & the Tramp! We watched it after dinner :) 

(Colton's present was a new TV for the living room that he bought right before the Super Bowl)

Here's a few random pictures from the past week:

Emma passed out in her Boppy pillow :)

We hope everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day like we did! :)
