A small attempt to pen those precious moments that seem to go by all too quickly. Things that would easily be forgotten.....may they always be remembered....here's hoping this site never crashes. :)

Just Playing Outside

Tonight we spent some time outside playing in the rocks and swinging the golf club. KG loves putting rocks in her bicycle and riding around. CT is working real hard on his golf swing. He and Daddy have been out several times in the past few weeks to the golf course. He LOVES it! Enjoy!

Good Game!
CT's little team. There were 4 girls and 2 boys. They do co-ed until they are older.
CT and some of his buddies who were on the "other" team. :)

THE END!



This Saturday was CT's last soccer game for the season. He is really sad it is over. I guess we will have to play again in the fall. I just figured out they have fall ball. Mimi and Poppa were able to come over and see his last game. CT did really well, and scored several goals. He absolutely LOVES to play and has a great time. It is also a lot of fun to watch. He was excited that his Nana and Papa and Mimi and Poppa were able to make it to some of his games this season.

Awana "Iguana" Awards

CT and his other friends that also received the apple tree award. There were three of them.



Wednesday night was Awana Awards Night. CT and KG both got awards. KG is in Puggles and she received a Certificate of Participation award. Basically she showed up for Puggles. ha! They are not required to go through a book and memorize scripture just yet, but they do talk to them about it. She LOVES to go. CT did awesome this year. He also received the Certificate of Participation Award, Cubbies First Book Award (he completed all his lessons and learned all his verses), and received the Cubbies Apple Tree Book Award (an extra part of the book that we completed). He was very pumped about the two different medals he received with them. I think I had to make him take them off before he went to bed that night. :) He is very proud of them, and we feel very blessed that our church offers this program. CT has learned a lot of scripture that he can recite to us. It's neat to see.

Aunt Mandy's Show-wa

KG getting her nap out. She slept for about an hour and a half. We were glad, because she was CRANKY!!
Mandy opening her Kitchen Aid Mixer.
Some of the dishes I'm thinking about theifing. :)
Once KG woke up she was right in the middle of everything.
KG found the "popcorn". She thought this was LOTS of fun!




Last weekend we headed to the Fort for Aunt Mandy and Uncle Chad's wedding shower. KG had a great time although she slept through the first part of the shower. Aunt Mandy and Uncle Chad got LOTS of fun gifts. I'm trying to figure out a way to take their everyday dishes from them. They are WAY cute! We all had a great time! We are looking forward to the wedding in June. CT and KG will be in the wedding, so we will have pictures to share. Hopefully they cooperate. :) KG keeps talking about being a princess in the wedding.

Forever Friends


KG and Lydia.
CT, KG, Lydia.
This picture is typical. Jess- we should have put blue eyeshadow on their faces. :)



Jessica in the middle and me on the right. VERY SCARY!!! I can't even believe my mom let me wear my hair like that. Even more scary, Jess, Why did your mom have so much blue eye shadow? :)




Last week one of my life long friends came to visit us. She lives in Tulsa and has a little girl about the same age as KG. Jessica and I have been friends since I can remember. She is the friend that ALWAYS got me into trouble (ornery trouble), but it was so much fun!! I'm sure if we were able to spend more time together we would still cause trouble. :) It was fun to get our kids together and let them play. They all had a great time. KG and Lydia both LOVE Annie, so they practiced singing their best rendition of "Tomorrow". We also braved the Oklahoma wind to play outside, and then headed off for some pizza. Thanks for coming Jess. I always cherish our time together!! I am blessed to call you friend.

Flower Power.




T has been working very hard on getting our yard mowed and flower beds looking great! He enjoys this much more than I do, and does a great job at it. The kids have enjoyed helping him dig in the dirt and spread the mulch. The other night they helped him plant some flowers. KG thought this was pretty cool!

Arrrrggghhhh Me Princess!!



The other day CT decided to dress up he and his sister. He LOVES to dress up and pretend. It is so funny to hear what he comes up with. They decided to be a princess and pirate. Once the ship and loot were safe they were off to bigger and better things.
