Birthday week

We have had a great week and weekend celebrating Lane and Ryder's birthday. Lane turned 10 on Wednesday and Ryder turned 1 on Friday. My mom and dad flew into Tulsa and drove to Bartlesville to spend the wknd. with us. We enjoyed eating out a lot, shopping and going to the Woolrock Museum. Lane got a new skateboard and bicycle and Ryder got some new threads. He's stylin' now.
Oh - and one of the best parts of the wknd. was the date night that Luke and I had! We went out to dinner and then saw "The Guardian". Good flick.

First Day of School...again

First Day - (for the boys)
Lane and Cam started at Ranch Heights Elementary school on Monday. Lane said it was awesome. Cam also enjoyed it - not to the "awesome-point" though. Lane has Ms. C and Cam has Mr. C - I can't remember right now their names, but I know they start w/ a C. The school is walking distance from our house! nice.

Olivia also started school this week - she is in preschool and has Ms. Kathy. She already has "5 new fwiends". Tuesday we are headed to the pumpkin patch for a field trip - she is really pumped about that.
It's nice to have the kids in school again and on a routine. I don't know how homeschooling moms do it!

My 32nd birthday

I turned 32 this year. Yikes. Time sure is flying by.

Doug and Leanne had us over to celebrate and she baked me the most wonderful chocolate cake. The kids helped decorate it like usual. I am really going to miss sharing and celebrating birthdays with them!!!! ;-( We have too much fun together.

Miss y'all!!!!

Lane gave me a smooch - best gift ever!

OOOOOKLAHOMA....is our new home

Ryder amongst the unpacking.

We have come a long way since Thursday - although, still a lot of boxes to unpack, decorating to be done and pictures to be hung. I have a feeling that the closets and under the beds will be off limits for a while - that is where a lot of "stuff" is going until we find a home for it. We checked out the boy's new school yesterday. Looks really great. They met their teachers and all the staff. Everyone seems very friendly and excited for new kids. Definitely different in the small town life.

Blaze is confused....really nothing new about that

Random goofiness

I love it when they are this goofy! Especially when I have my camera ready!!! Their favorite thing is to imitate Jack Black from the movie Nacho Libre. They're pretty good.

Fishing with Mr. Doug

Cam loves to go fishing with Mr. Doug - our neighbor and one of our best friends. He is an awesome fisherman! I went to the ponds that they were fishing at to take pics and I was amazed at how well Cam can fish. Doug has taught him very well!

My precious niece, Campbell

She already has 4 teeth- makes for a beautiful smile!

She really loves me! ;-) kinda favors me too huh?

Campbell and Ryder did great up until Campbell tried to pick Ryder's nose! ;-) Maybe he had a booger she was trying to get for him.

Sorry, Chad - I had to put this picture on here - it is too funny.

This is my brother trying to get Campbell to pose for the picture. Love it!!!

This is what happens when you leave a 9 year old unsupervised w/ a bb gun (this is my dad's sliding glass door - soon to be nice, new french doors)

This is what happens when you leave a 1 year old unsupervised for 15 seconds! (His hand got slammed in a toy box - cut his thumb through to the bone - stitches at 11 months) nothing a lollipop can't help
