Family Day!!!

Thursday, we had a fun family day with the kids. We took them to Bricktown, (one of our favorite places, just one, haha). The kids always like seeing the water fountain, and playing in the grass area there. They get to walk everywhere, and see the boats. We showed them where we go for the baseball games, and they thought that was cool. The team was practicing, it looked like, the kids enjoyed watching them. We grabbed a bite at Earl's (a favorite of mine), and the kids like their hamburgers. Ian wants to sit in big chairs now, so he did, and he ate his hamburger like such a big boy, I was proud, and sad at the same time, (at how fast he is growing). He is talking more and more in sentences, and he surprises me too sometimes. This morning he said he was a fireman. LOL So cute! After the bricktown experiences we took the kids to Cuppies and Joe. It is a new little cupcake place and coffee shop. It reminds me of the tea houses in Claremore. It looks like an old house, that had been re-done. Each room is different and you can sit anywhere. Lets see, Izze and Ian both got vanilla and chocolate, I got the sass a frass (red velvet with cream cheese frosting), Brian got an Ebony and Ivory (chocolate and white icing). They had a lot of different ones with funny names, all looked very good. It was a fun day for all.

Picnic at the Park!

Yesterday, our mom's group got together at a fun park. The kids had a lot of fun playing and running around. We had a little picnic while there as well, the kids think this is a lot of fun too. The kids and I are so thankful for our mom's group, we always have so much fun with everyone! What a beautiful day it turned out to be spending with friends!

(Can't wait to post some fun pictures of Izze getting her medal in gymnastics)

Mothers Day 09'!!

I had a great Mothers Day with the love of my life, and my two sweet kids. We celebrated on Saturday, since Sundays lend themselves to be busy. Brian and the kids made me my favorite breakfast, it was really good. Brian is a pretty good cook. The kids were so excited to give me their card, that they "personalized." They both had big smiles on their faces, and they were really proud of themselves for helping daddy make breakfast. We had a great day relaxing, and just being together. On Sunday, Brian give me "his" Mothers Day card, it made me tear up. I treasure these moments that they make me feel extra special. I love these people and are so glad they are in my life, very thankful for them!!!

(I took pictures of the kids on Mothers Day, I'll try and post later, no I didn't get me in the pictures)

Our "big" 2 year old!!

Our little boy turned two in April, and we had such a great time celebrating with family. Most of the family were able to come for his birthday. We did miss our two Papas though. My brother and his family got to come. Isabelle loves to play with his girls. She kept them busy the whole time. Ian had a lot of fun doing bubbles and keeping up with the "big" kids. Ian has always gone right to my brother when he ask to hold him, and this time was no different. Something about him that makes Ian feel comfortable. Nanny Carol was able to come and celebrate. Thanks for all the help. Nanny Faith was able to come, and my sister Hollie and her little girl Joslyn. It has been a while since I have seen my sister, so it was nice to see her. Ian got so many cool toys, Handy Manny was a hit, along with Diego and his backpack, Thomas the train play computer, trucks, and the list goes on. We got him a new guitar, because his last one broke, and that is one of his favorite things to do, play the guitar, as you can see in one of the pictures. It plays some cool songs and he gets his leg going and his body moving, he is so cute to watch. We had a dinosuar cake and theme. He has been into dinosuars for a while now. He was cute trying to blow the candle out. He really enjoyed the cake, and I was going to skip on giving him ice cream until he heard me say that, and he spcifically ask for it. It was a great day to celebrate a great little boy. I could go on and on about how precious he is and how every feature I love about him. His big hazel/green eyes (like his daddy), his golden hair that flips up, his smile, his great little personality, his lovableness. So, So glad the Lord blessed us with this little guy, wouldn't want it any other way. Thanks to everyone who was able to be here, it's nice to share things with family.
Love you little boy, happy 2nd birthday!!!

Update!

Quick update on Isabelle's school situation. We got her into a school that is designed for her age, and we are very excited about it. She seems like she is so ready, so this will be an interesting fall. It will be harder on me I'm sure, I may need some extra support from my friends during that time. haha

Today was another raining day, but we got to be apart of a friends baby shower. She is having a second little girl, and we are very excited for her. She got lots of fun stuff, plus some practical stuff too. It was fun to celebrate with her today! Can't wait to meet the new little one!!
