WOW!! Did I blank out over the summer, or what??? A lot has happened, but I can't remember any of it.....Here are some family pictures we took recently with Amanda Scott....

Edmond Touch-a-Truck

This weekend after wrestling the kids at Jimmy's Egg, we decided to go to "Edmond Touch-A-Truck." It was pretty cool. There was every kind of rig you could imagine, from helicopters to semi-trucks to tow-trucks to military outfits to race cars (totally swallowed my kids). Pretty cool! There was even a rock wall to climb - for the girls at least...

This next one is for Papa!

Jackson would not stop asking this poor girl questions....
(below)- These are my 3 favorite pic of the day, I think...

We had a lot of fun with the family!!!

MAY O MY!

Well, May has already proven to be an extremely busy month!! So far, we've had TWO dance recitals (not to mention the TWO dress rehearsals), Teacher Appreciation Week, I actually had to work (but it was fun because I got to tell Brian and Becca that they're having a girl!), Children's Bible Hour, and last but not least - Jackson's 3rd Birthday party/Mother's Day celebration combo! We've had a lot of good family times already this month!! Now we are sitting here trying to plan our vacations for the summer....plus trying to fit in a mom and dad trip! Complicated....Anyway, here are some cute pics from the first half of May.........


Okay- these aren't any of the above mentioned stuff -- just two really cute pics of Jackson and his "wobble-gobbles." This kid asks when we can go "fimming" every single day....
These are from the Sonshine School Program. MiMi and Pappy were there too, but I just didn't get organized enough to get any pics of either us or them with the kids....sorry!!






We danced so much the first weekend of May that I didn't do a great job capturing all the cute moments of it all!! I was too tired!! But above are a few shots of what all went on....Aunt Alli did make-up and PaPa babysat Jack the first night and went with us the second day.




Below are some pics I took of "Cowboy Jackson" a couple of days before his birthday. I ended up using Target to make his cake and just had them put his picture on the cake....how far the mighty have fallen. It turned out pretty cute, tho...

How could it not with a face like that!! And on this next pic--- I cannot figure out how to turn this puppy around, so you'll just have to turn your head to the side to see it. :o)
BIRTHDAY PARTY DAY!!

The birthday set up...... looks a lot like his room, huh......

Pic with Gran and PaPa and some of Jack's swords! "We'll save the princess..or die tryin'!" He love to quote Mickey Mouse's The Three Muskateers....

Aunt Alli, notice no pics of us with him either.... On his real b-day, maybe we can make it in a few shots.

I tried to then round them back up for a pic with MiMi and Pappy, but I could only find two that would obey!

Ahhhh- nothin' like a sword fight with Uncle Jerrod.

Cousins... where's Darci??

Well, I have a whole lot of really cute pics, but it's too late to put 'em all on here.....Tomorrow will be May 11, 2009, and my last baby will be 3 years old....WOW!! Time flies...snif, snif...

Thursday, April 23, 2009

OCA had Muffins with Moms and Grandmas this morning! (Tuesday was donuts with dads and grandads, but the camera wasn't there, oops -- but Daddy and Pappy were there!) So anyway, OCA's ploy to get us all there to go to the bookfair worked. I was a little late getting there and there were only like 5 muffins left, luckily Addison liked the pumpkin one... I was a little surprised! She's getting so big - you can tell that she really feels at home there and knows how to behave!!

Aunt Alli got lost, but better late than never!! Thanks for coming!! Addi was really pumped!

Okay, this pic is from Friday, April 24th. We are contemplating getting a dog. Aunt Alli found this 2.5 month old puppy at the Humane Society. We went to look at him, but I chickened out!!! There was a nice little write up about him that said that he was used to being inside and used to being with other dogs. Well, I made the mistake of telling the lady that worked there that we were really gonna make him an outside dog. She quickly discouraged me from taking this or any dog from them! "All of our dogs really need the love and care from people dedicated to making them part of the family! They will become destructive and very sad if left alone!" Based on that statement, Jason and Allison said they don't think she would've let us even have it if we wanted it!! The lady gave me the number and address to the OKC animal shelter.....clearly she is way more worried about the dog than my children!!

Have a good life, Domino!! Today (April 27th) Jackson was supposed to be sleeping. I got in the shower. When I got out, I went to check on the situation. Chandler and Addison's room wreaked of fingernail polish!! He had snuck Addison's makeup and spilled fingernail polish on my carpet!!! When I walked in, he got on all fours and put his face to the ground as if I couldn't see him that way. He kept saying (face to the floor) I'm sowwy, I'm sowwy! I'm thinking - there is absolutely no way I can handle a puppy right now -- Jackson is our "buppy!" What are we gonna do????


Oh yeah, this is from Friday night, the 24th. Addi had already fallen asleep, and we thought Jack had, too. Chandler was up late working on her first research paper on cheetahs! We finally finished for the night at 10:00. We headed down the hallway only to find Jack asleep right in the doorway! So cute - he does not want to miss a thing!!

Sunday morning, before church, he came out of his room being a cowboy! I sorta think he belongs to Jerrod sometimes!! Speaking of, the other day we were sitting at a stoplight and Jackson was gazing out of his window at some man running a weed-eater. Finally he said, "I weally like that guy - he's nice - he's my fwiend!"

Whatta Weekend!

This weekend we had a blast with the kiddos in Stillwater at the Orange and White game. We toured the campus so the kids could see their dad's old stomping grounds. This pic was taken on the stairs in front of the library. (They are O. S. and U. if you couldn't tell!!)

This pic was inside the business building....very important place!! Jack REALLY wanted to see "Mistu Pete" sooo bad - so we went down by the end zone....

Yea! A close up of "Mistu Pete!"

Jack actually watched a few plays -- maybe he'll catch on....

Our neighbors across the street got some chicken eggs from the extension center and let us come see the brand new baby chicks....so cute...until they poop!!

We really had a fun family weekend! On our way out of Joe's, Jason and I were talking about how tired we were and that it would probably be time for the next free orange and white game before we make it back there. Just as we were saying that, Jackson, out of the blue said, "Thank you, thank you so much for taking me to have fun with me!! I weally had a gweat time!" AWWWWW!! I told Jason that we'd better not wait that long after that precious comment. They really were good....it's just such a process with three!!!
