April 2012

We went on a little day trip to Tulsa to visit the Oklahoma Aquarium

It was neat getting to feed the big sting rays but I was surpised
the boys wanted nothing to do with petting any sea creatures.

River outside the aquarium. It was a gorgeous day

Jeff's mom and I took the 5 kids to the downtown Arts Festival since Jamie had to work.
There is a new playground that has all kinds of cool features like this hole for the kids to climb into

OKC's new Devon skyscraper. We ate a picnic lunch right next to it

I am impressed by these creative kids' paper rocket ship complete with space suit

Jensen got a filling at the dentist and really gnawed on his lip while it was numb so we had to go to the doctor. It looked really nasty for about a week but he said it never hurt

We had a successful garage sale and made about $400.
We had some funny looking shoppers though

Easter 2012

We had a great Easter again this year. The boys enjoyed coloring eggs the week before and we had a fun egg hunt with our MOMS Club friends. We also went to a big egg hunt at a church nearby and had a yummy lunch at my momma's house.

I found one Mommy!

Jensen and Jorden checking out their goodies from the Easter Bunny

The Easter Bunny brought a great basket to Mimi's house too

March 2012

Jensen watching tv with daddy

We tried letting Jorden wear big boy undies for the first time. He did ok but still needs some practice before we wear them all the time

Jorden likes playing with the soccer ball at Jensen's practice. He looks especially cute in his hat

 

It was extremely windy during Jensen's soccer game so they cuddled up to stay warm

Jensen's Soccer team- (I can't figure out why these pics are sideways)

Jensen plays on a team with his good friend Josh from his Pre-K class last year

Jensen and the girls enjoying the nice weather

The boys love going to Mimi's work and driving the forklifts

Sesame Street Live 2012

We thought about taking the boys to see Sesame Street Live since Jorden is really into Elmo but the tickets were expensive and we just went to Monster Trucks. Luckily, a good friend of mine got some FREE tickets so I took them on Sat 3/17. They loved it but Jorden was antsy and ready to go shortly after intermission so we left a little early. They had a neat area you could visit before the show to take pictures and do little interactive games.

February 2012

My friend Ericka moved to Stillwater about an hour away so a bunch of our girlfriends went up for a slumber party at her apartment. We had a great time wearing tacky jammies, eating junk food and having girl talk. I can now say I have slept in the kitchen since that's the only place my air mattress would fit (I'm too old to sleep on the floor)! The sound of the frige can be quit soothing ha ha!

MONSTER TRUCKS! The boys were so excited to get to see the monster trucks in person.
It was loud but they had ear protection that looked cute on them.

Jensen says his favorite is Grave Digger so he was glad to see it.

They thought it was so cool when Grave Digger landed so hard the tire popped

We had great seats right up front

Megasaurus the fire-breathing, car-eating dinosaur was really neat. It ate a whole car in half!

Jeff didn't have to be at work until late on a Tuesday so he got to walk Jorden into school.
 He was cute holding his daddy's hand

Jensen and the girls finished the basketball season with medals and ice cream at McDonald's after the last game

I didn't have big expectations but I was very surprised when Jeff gave me this really cute bracelet from Tiffany's for Valentine's Day. I don't normally wear bracelets because they get in my way but this one is so dainty I wear it every day. The best part was he got it for free since his work let him pick something out as a gift for being with the company for 5 years. I thought it was super thoughtful that he picked something out for me!

Mimi got this pedal tractor for Jensen on his 2nd birthday and he rode it some but now Jorden has been riding it a bunch since the weather has been so nice. He looks like a lil farmer and love it

Travis and Mandi's Wedding

Jeff is close to his two younger cousins Travis and Tanner on his dad's side so I've known them since they were 3 and 6 years old. Travis is now 23 (yikes I'm old!) and got married on 2/12/2012. Jenna and Jillian got to be flower girls and we were all exctied for the big day. In the 4 months they planned the wedding, almost everything that could go wrong did and the bride and groom had some pretty unconventional details but the evening turned out really nice. Jorden had a fever and had to stay with Mimi so we were sad he missed the fun

Flower girls Jenna and Jillian- notice the neon green converse shoes!

Half grooms/Half bride cake

I had never seen Orange and Green wedding colors before. The bridesmaids wore different style black dresses with green shoes to match the groomsman's vest and shoes. The bride and groom wore orange and the minister even wore converse shoes.
It turned out pretty unique and not as crazy as I thought it would be :)

Groom's brother- Cousin Tanner and his girlfriend Oliva

Groom's parents- Uncle Terry and Aunt Janet

Bride and Groom in their neon orange shoes!

Julia Kate got the party started by getting out on the dance floor first....she wasn't shy!
