Sept 2013

My baby sister turned 30 so I made her a sucker bouquet



We went to eat at Red Lobster to celebrate Carrie turning 30. Makes me feel OLD!

Donuts with moms at Jensen's school

Grandparent's night at school. Jensen is so lucky to have all 4 able to go see his school

Kim lives about 3hrs away now so the boys and I went down to stay with her for a night
I love this shot of the boys and Ellie getting ready for bed

Me and the boys with Kim and her kids Ellie and Bradley
We went to a great park and it was beautiful weather

Thanks to my mom we finally got a new shed and they brought it on a semi
and unloaded it with a forklift

The problem was there is not enough space between houses so we couldn't just put it
in the backyard. We had to take it apart and reassemble it which was a pain but worth it

Both of our dads came over to help and it went pretty fast

 

Finished shed. It's so nice to have more storage and it looks great

 

August 2013

First day of school Jensen 2nd Grade and Jorden Preschool

Jorden learned to write his first word. Sheesh I'm so proud

Carrie and I did wine and palette and it was a hard one

July 2013

 

We went to Jeff's co-worker's house in the country to pop fireworks on July 5th 

 

 

Jorden learned a quick lesson on not touching hot sparklers

 

On July 4th we were going to watch fireworks but I twisted my ankle on
some rollerblades in the garage and couldn't walk. It really hurt for a long time

Mimi bought the boys a brick at the OKC Zoo with their names on it
They love going to see it when we visit

Jorden was only 3 but he was determined to be like big brother and ride a
bike without training wheels

I bought a play set from a friend who was moving and it turned into a big project
The wood wasn't in great shape so we ended up using it as a template and replacing
almost all of it. Jeff also added a second level. It was super hot and a lot of work but turned out nice

 

 

 

 

Kim was in town a lot this summer so we did wine and palette together

Tubing

Kim's dad Brad took us on his boat to go tubing on Lake Thunderbird. It was a blast

Yogi Bear Jellystone Park

This summer we didn't take a big vacation but we spent 2 nights at the Lake Eufaula Yogi Bear Jellystone park. A couple of years ago we went to one in KY for my family reunion so we wanted to try the one here. We stayed in a nice cabin with a kitchen, A/C and cable tv. It was the great outdoors with some of the comforts of home. They had lots of stuff to do like an obstacle course in the lake, huge water slide, mini-golf, fishing, antique fire truck ride, paddle boats, and arcade. We had a blast and the boys can't wait to go again.

 

Making yummy S'mores

Fire truck ride

Our cute cabin

paddle boat ride

The boys really loved sleeping in the loft in the cabin

Jensen was the only one who caught a fish

This big slide was a lot of fun, I even loved it

So much fun Jorden was pooped

Inflatable obstacle course on the lake

This slide on the lake was very hard to get up on but Jensen did it

 

 

On the way home, we stopped at an old, hidden cemetery where
 Jeff's Great Great Grandparents are buried
