School's Out!

Lyric had his school's end of year party...it was a beach party. What a great way to end the school year! Thursday I took the boys to see a baseball game- Texas vs kansas- Big 12 tournament. Jenn gave us some great tickets- we had a really nice time.

Fun with the kids...

Here are a few pictures from Lyric's birthday party and his t-ball game last week.

Lane's Birthday part 2

Saturday we all got together to celebrate several awesome occasions....Lane's 2nd birthday- which also happens to be the birthday of his g-ma Lake...whom he never had the chance to meet- but I am certain that she is looking down on him with a prideful smile every day. Jan's birthday was Saturday- Mother's Day was Sunday- and this year ALL of us were able to celebrate together if you know what I mean....more details on that later if you are not sure what the heck I am talking about.
So- Lane gots lots of presents- the rain scooted out long enough for us to get outside for a bit of sunshine and fun. We had lunch- cupcakes- champagne- and best of all...time together.

Happy Birthday, Baby Lane!

Lane's Birthday- Part 1

Lane turned 2 last Friday. We had a great day together- started off sleeping in just a little, then powdered donuts for breakfast. We loaded up the stroller and some snacks and headed to the zoo. Normally we take a lunch but I thought it wold be a nice treat to have lunch in the canopy at the zoo- well....it was a Friday in May- so not only were we at the zoo- so was every other school aged child in the state. Very crowded- we only stayed there about an hour- then headed over to Chic-Fil-A in Edmond for some lunch and playground time. The boys had such a nice afternoon- and I just can't wait to spend so much quality time with them this summer. Not much longer!


Mmmm...hostess donettes...a breakfast that screams healthy!


So cute- they loved the fish this time...


Again...totally cute- looking at ducks and turtles


On the plaground- Lane was not feelin' the camera this day...notice there are no face shots of him.

Ring Pops and Moustaches

Lyric had a t-ball game last week- but it has been so rainy that the other team assumed there was no game- so they just did a little practicing- hitting, catching, and throwing....and that is enough hard work to warrant snacks at the concession stand. Lane has to have everything Lyric has- so he got to enjoy a ring pop- and some popcorn...at the same time. Gross.
Lyric's class has been working on memorizing nursery rhymes- and Friday all of the students had to dress up like their favorite nursery rhyme character. Lyric was Dr. Foster from Glouster.....never heard of that one until this year- but he has it (and many many others) memorized...he lookde adorable in his little costume.


Mee and baby Lane...not baby for long- you know he will be 2 on Friday!!


Lyric and his t-ball buddy Ashton


Lane and his ring pop- he felt like such a big boy...

Another of Dr. Foster- too cute.

Teacher Appreciation

I took the boys to Chick-fil-A last week for a teacher appreciation photo opp. My friends father-in-law owns the location in Penn Square. It was a great chance to see a few of my teacher frineds from last year and of course a great chance to eat some delicious chicken. I have met a few people who have never eaten at a Chick-Fil-A...if you are one of them, you should really try it- and you should try the one in Penn Square- it is the best.
Jeff was dressed up as the cow- Lane would not have anything to do with him and Lyric was pretty skeptical himself.




jenn is next to the cow- her hubby Jeff...I am the shorty on the end....

My babies...

Lyric playing a little Galaga...

Fun with G-Daddy

Granddaddy and Memaw came over one night while Jason was at Prom. We just hung out in the back yard and played some ball with the boys....Granddaddy really had a good time- but I think the boys enjoyed it even more.

89ers Day 09

We met a few friends in Guthrie for the 89ers Day parade. We had a great time just watching ALL the parade entries go by- it lasted over 1 and 1/2 hours! Lane did not care for the loud motorcycles and go-carts- but other than that he enjoyed it. We were goign to trek to the carnival with everyone, but Lane had had enough by the end of the parade- so we just headed home. Thanks to Izzy for watching with us- it is always fun to spend time with friends.


It was such a big deal, even the President was there...you have to look really close in the car....


They will thank me for this picture in 20 years! Izzy and Lyric....


Jason and Lane- waiting for the start of the parade.
