Dan's birthday and a streak of crazy weather

Happy Birthday to Dan on Jan 25. We made an awesome chocolate cake and had a fun afternoon. He's wearing his new shirt in this picture and blowing out the candles that the kids put on the cake, a little heavy on the one side. We love you Dan!How about a snow day! Dan got to come home early and stay home for 2 days. It was the usual Oklahoma ice/freezing rain/sleet storm which kept us indoors for a few days. We had a great time cruising around the neighborhood on a walk one day.

So the snow was monday through Thursday and by Saturday we were at the park with sweatshirts on going for a hike. Crazy Oklahoma Weather!

Here's Dan's second place mustache in Fronterra's Great Mustachio Bash. (Shaved from the goattee (sp?) seen earlier. I couldn't help laughing every time I looked at him.
The latest storm was just yesterday. We were very blessed to get missed by the tornado that hit a mile away and ripped the whole back end of a Chuck-e-cheese off and the roof of Target and damaged a bunch of other homes and other places. We did get a ton of Hail. Pea sized up to Gumball sized. This is a scoop of hail from my back patio and the size of the biggest ones.

Holy crapola on the hail! Geez, we're glad you guys are ok! Oh and I laughed really hard when I saw Dan's moustache too - no offense Dan but the full goat suits you better. Jake could never get away with it though - He was sick one Sunday and didn't shave for two weeks, then when our Bishop saw him at a scouting activity he told him it was time to shave!

Alright, it's official. The Martin men just should not sport a mustache.:) But the goatee is doable. Love all the pictures!

I get it Dan, you were jealous of Micah's stache so you started a contest of your own! Very smooth idea! I think you should sport the full-on beard again. Now that was manly! Becca, can you post some of those pics??
