Colorful Fun!

Being snowed in for two weeks created a need to entertain a certain two year old! We decided to finger paint and Anara loved it! I decided it was best to go ahead and take off anything that I didn't want paint on and we did it right next to the bathtub so when finished I just picked her up and put her straight in the water.


She thought it was great having
paint all over her hands!

Record Breaking Snow!



Holy Moley do we have a lot of snow! Tulsa has had a record breaking blizzard and we received a ton of snow. Not really sure how much but we guess 13 to 14 inches. Let's just say we see snow....everywhere!

I am sooooo thankful that Ben is on clinic this month because they have canceled for the past two days and for tomorrow as well. Some of the poor people that are working at the hospital are having to sleep there because you have to be at work no matter what! It has been so nice having Ben home with the family, especially after January being such a tough month with him on ICU!

This year Anara is very excited about the snow and loves going out and playing in it. The only way we can get her back inside is to promise hot chocolate which she loves!

This is of Anara when we went outside and it was still snowing.
We didn't stay out too long because it was too cold
and the snow made your face freeze!


This gives you an idea of how much snow we received!!!



The dogs can't even go outside in the backyard because of the wall of snow!


Ben had to dig a trench for us to be able to get to the
road so that we could sled down the hill.

My grandfather gave us a really old sled when we moved up "north"
to a place that might get snow. I did not expect that we would have
such wonderful opportunities to use it both last year and this year!
At first Anara was very afraid and not sure that she liked it.


I then took a turn and all of a sudden she LOVED it and wanted to ride
on it. She then couldn't get enough and had a ton of fun!
