1 month and a blizzard

We are surviving the effects of Oklahoma's 2nd EVER blizzard with 15 inches of snow in our backyard! We've been spending our days inside by the fire snuggling and napping :)

I layed Brody in our bed real quick so I could go to the bathroom (don't worry I can see him from our bathroom). I was just gone for maybe 2 minutes when I found him sound asleep like this.

Sweet man has been sleeping in his crib at night! It was a bit hard on me "letting him go" but I think it's for the best for everyone. Every night he's doing a little better with sleeping longer and longer (we are so proud of him). He loves sleeping with his hands raised in the air, that's how we know he's sound asleep.

We haven't given him a fohawk yet and thought after his bath would be the perfect time. He's just too cute. Bath time is fun as he loves it! The highlight is always when he pees. It's actually kinda picturesque. He has fun letting it "fly" and it leaves Mike and I on the edge of our seat never knowing when it's going to come :)

Last night this is how the Brodster decided to fall asleep! When he is crying, we've learned, he really likes to be raised in the air. After about 5-10 good reps he's off in sleep land ;) We will be giving Brody the credit for our very in shape arms here soon :)

Lot and lots of snow here in the 'ville! We had to take Brody out for his 2nd snow 1st blizzard. Don't worry we were outside for a total of 2 maybe 3 seconds and aunt Meghan was waiting inside with a warm blanket and snugly arms. Brody was just a bit taller then the snow!

Aunt Meghan made this way fun 1 month thing (I'm not real sure what to call it). We saw it in a magazine and it seemed like a fun idea. We hope to take pics like this every month.

The pups have loved the snow. At first during the blizzard they weren't fans. They just didn't think they could go out in the snow. So Mike shoveled a pathway for them every couple hours. Once the wind stopped we got the ball out and set them loose :) The snow goes up to their bellies!

The ball would obviously get lost and Trig would shove his face in the snow looking all over for it. We thought for sure he would never find it.

This pic was taken on accident. This was the first glimpse of Trig right after finding his ball that was lost. He was searching for about 5 minutes and then with his head lifted proudly he brought the ball back! We couldn't believe his determination, we were VERY proud of him!

All in all it's been very fun being snowed in, we have no complaints. The church has been closed meaning Mike has gotten to stay home, which we love! I keep telling him because the driveway and side roads are not cleared he can't go to work tomorrow. Yes, I know we are both from the Midwest and can handle the snow, but I do look for any and every excuse for him to always stay home :)
