Yesterday, my baby turned 5….I think (more on that in the next post!). Ever since we went to Parkhurst Pumpkin Patch last October, I have wanted to do his birthday party there this year. And, needless to say, we had an absolutely fantastic Saturday Birthday Party last weekend. The perfect weather we had was like [...]

Last weekend school was out statewide for Fall Break. So we decided to take our First Family Camping Trip! After a little research, we decided to head to the eastern part of the state to Greenleaf Lake State Park. Thanks to regular hunting trips made my my husband and dad-in-law for many years now, we [...]
We have had TWO opportunities to get together with family this month!! With us all living in different towns and even different states, it takes some coordination to get us all together. So twice in one month is quite an accomplishment for us! One of the things I love about getting together is watching the [...]
First-grader. That’s a tough one to type out! Can’t believe he is so big! Now he takes his backpack and a lunchbox. Now he plays on the Big Kids’ playground. Now he sits at a desk.
Now he is more tired, being at school all day. Tired but “good”. That is the word I keep hearing [...]
Little Man started Pre-K this week. Slowly but surely, we’ve gradually learned some of what he does during the 2 1/2 hours he is at school. He is a man of few words and has a hard time remembering what happened 5 minutes ago but I have learned a few things over the past three [...]

On Thursday, we traveled into the enemy territory known as Norman, OK - home of that other university! We got there just in time to eat lunch on campus corner at a great place called New York Pizza and Deli - a tasty recommendation from Ryan’s co-worker, Jake. Then we went to the Sam [...]

(I think everything is working now. I can now properly use tags and categories, though I will need to go back and re-tag and re-categorize past posts - someday! But everything is working - hopefully!)
Before I completely hyperventilate and fall to the floor because school starts in 8 DAYS, we are squeezing in every last [...]
Have I told you I have two boys? Well, just in case you forgot, I have Cooper who is 6 - oops, excuse me, he is 6 and a 1/2! And Drew is 4. The thing I may not have told you is that they are best friends. Seriously. If you ask either one of [...]

Well, I think I’ve pulled myself together enough to write this post. But, today was the first day of preschool for my youngest…
I’ve been a little worried about this day for Drew’s sake - he is pretty much attached to me (just ask his dad) and is more reserved and not has independent as his [...]
