Ice storm- January 2010

On Wednesday, Janurary 27th, the news reported that we were going to have an ice storm hit us Thursday morning then that night it would turn to snow. They said that we could have up to 2 inches of ice and 10 inches of snow. Mark decided that Wesley and I should fly to Midland to stay with my parents before the storm arrived incase we lost power. On Thursday night Mark went outside and saw that we had accumulated 3/4 inch of ice and the snow started to fall. By the end of the storm we had 4 inches of snow. Luckily we didn't loose power.

When Katie and Wesley came home from Midland Wesley was eager to go play in the snow. We dressed him in warm clothes and headed outside. He immediatly found RED mud, that is all they have here in Oklahoma. One night when Mark got home we took Wesley out to see the icicles and Mark would take an icicle in his hand and knock down the others, Wesley thought this was so hilarious.

Look Momma I am holding it.

Wesley wanted to sit in the snow so we decided after telling him that it was going to be cold he could do it. Here is a picture Wesley's bottom and feet in the snow.
