I just love the snow! It’s such great family time. We have been playing games, watching movies and playing in the snow! On Friday it snowed all day and we went out for a little bit but it was snowing so much we were all wet. While Kevin and Ella were playing outside our dog, Spunky ran away and Kevin had to walk through the neighborhood looking for him. He came home on is own a little later but he sure was in trouble!!

Today we went out to my mom & dad’s house and went sledding! Steve & Michal and Angela, Bradley and Kennedy came too! It was lots of fun. Ella loves sledding. Liv just loves going out with us and eating the snow and ice.

I didn’t think it would take this long to post snow blog #2 but at least here it is. After the temperatures rose above sub zero levels we made a visit to the farm. We took Mike & Hilary with us. The girls were so cold but had to see the animals and swing on the swing!

So cold and windy she even had a tear. 

And Ella wanted Dixie to get her. First her boot and then her hat. 

And Liv wanted to swing slowly. Her little hands were cold. 

Kevin’s sister Karey captured this amazing photo of him throwing a snowball on Christmas Eve! I love it! That snow was amazing! Hopefully it will snow like that again soon!!!

It snowed for the first time since we moved back to Tulsa and it wasn’t just a few flakes like the weatherman had predicted. It was 6-8 inches! Here are a few pictures of the girls sledding down our hill and building a snowman with Kevin in our front yard!

Ella had been asking to go sledding all day and Kevin had taken her the day before but this was Liv’s first time to go. Ella wanted to go with Liv down the hill. Look at Liv’s face its priceless!!  Ella even wanted to take her dog Spunky down the hill. And the last picture was Liv’s second trip down the hill which was with Kevin. Liv is telling Kevin, “scared daddy, not fun, go inside”. Kevin says that picture of them going down the hill describes their personalities exactly. Ella is such an adventurer and Liv is well…not so much!

Chloe’s 2nd birthday party at Safari zoo in Broken Arrow, OK

This Lion was named Mufasa and he was giving the lady a high five through the fence. His roar was so loud and you could feel the vibration through your body. He is definitely King of the Jungle.

This was a 4 year old turkey that lives there. He just walks around the grounds. Liv liked him until he gobbled at her.

They had skunks that they had removed their spray and you could hold. Ella was very brave and wanted to hold it.

The most friendly zebra. he was hungry too. Liv and Ella got to feed him.

These pigs followed the girls around. I sat my purse down for a second and the next thing I knew the pigs were getting in it and sniffing it. Liv liked the pigs. They were just her size.

Ella fed this Lemur and it grabbed her arm. She got overwhelmed because it had a mind of its own.

The best part of the whole day was the kangaroos! I thought we were going to just look at them through the fence like the other animals but we got to go in the cage with them. There was a teenager kangaroo that was holding on to Karey’s (kevin’s sister) shoulders and hopping behind her. He got a spanking and got put in time-out in the corner. It was so funny they are just like dogs and kids. Liv and Ella loved the Kangroos!! Liv spent most of her time with this one. She was a nice kangaroo.

Ella got to hold the baby kangaroo and got to see in the momma’s pouch. They were so sweet and friendly. They have very strong tails and the babies can be held upside down by their tails.

This tiger was rescued from a family that had bought it and given it to their 5 year old daughter. They have lots of tigers there that are beautiful but this one is the meanest of all. So think twice before giving your child an exotic animal as a pet!

Little Cowgirl’s…Michal has got these girls outfitted to be future farm girls!

Yeah! Ella had so much fun at this little girls birthday party. She came home with glitter and sparkles everywhere. Thank you  Aunt Michal for taking her!

Ella getting her hair and make-up done by the princesses Then a fashion show and cake!

Oh my tonight Michal took Ella to a birthday part at My little doll house. It is a place where the workers dress up like princesses and the little girls get to dress up and have a tea party. Ella loved it!! Pictures still to come but this is her when she got home. Hair done by Snow White and Cinderella and make-up and nails done by Cinderella. She was hot stuff!!!

We had so much fun at the park. The weather was perfect and we have been so busy lately it was such a needed outing with the girls!

Here is a snapshot of my kitchen. I love it!!!  better pics to come this is just one that was on my camera!
