Comparison

I am going a little out of order but I wanted to see a comparison of Anara and Lynnea at basically the same age (only a few days) so I decided to go ahead and post this! In this picture, Anara seems to have a skinnier face but to me they look exactly alike! Love my girls!

Anara - 2008



Lynnea - 2011

Halloween Party!

We went to a Halloween party this evening and had a ton of fun! It is great to have all of the kids AND their parents dress up! I was very excited because I won for best female costume and Ben and I won for best couples costume! Yay! Plus Anara makes a pretty cute butterfly if I do say so myself!

Dora the Explorer

This is Anara's routine for the Dora the Explorer intro.

Anara's Three Year Pictures

Each year close to Anara's birthday we have taken her to a park here in Tulsa and taken pictures. This year I made her a petty skirt and a matching shirt for the pictures. She looked so cute and Ben has become a fabulous photographer. Of course it is easy when your subject is just so darn cute! :)

Crazy Cousins!

Ben had a week off so we decided to do something we have been wanting to do for a long time and go visit Ben's Uncle RM and Aunt Julie and cousin Elizabeth in Arkansas. Elizabeth has three kids and wow, Anara LOVED playing with her cousins. She had a great time and Ben and I really loved catching up with everyone!

This is Anara and Annie riding around in Annie's jeep!

Anara LOVED the trampoline!

Rhett is just too cute!

Field Trip to the Zoo!!!

Anara's school took a field trip to the zoo. We had a lot of fun!

A picture towards the end of the day when she was

getting tired but still so cute!

I just loved this pose that she is doing while looking at the penguins!

Here is Anara trying to climb the big rock

Anara's friends all made it to the top! (With lots of help!)

It's a Relaxing Kind of Day!

Ben and I are finally getting to enjoy my parents lake house for a few days. My parents are keeping the little one so it is just Ben and I (well, plus the dogs and Lynnea making her presence known in my huge belly!).

Of course since we don't have Anara to wake us up early and we are planning on sleeping in, we end up waking up early anyway. Boo! Oh well, we were able to sit on the back porch and watch the sun rise over the lake. It is a little chilly so Ben and I are snuggled up in warm robes but the poor dogs wanted to be with us but they were too cold. Ben scooped up Minnie, put her in his robe and she was as happy as could be. She loved it and I thought it was a picture worthy moment!
