Soaked

It feels like it has been raining here for the past month...I am ready to get back outside!!
Here are a couple of pics from the past week...
Lane's surfer-dude hair is gone....Julie was kind enough to keep Lane so Jason and I could go out to dinner- we had a nice time!! Lyric spent the night with Nana that night. Sunday was spent cleaning up the backyard and organizing bedrooms. Nice weekend!


Cool, dude! Love his hair....


Now he's all clean cut...still a cutie...


Me and Hubby at Mickey Mantles


We hung out with Mike and Erica for dinner and drinks on Saturday night...great night!

Lane's 3rd Birthday!

We celebrated Lane's 3rd birthday in Tulsa. What a great day! Time sure does fly, though.


Cupcakes and presents!!


Lyric, Lane, and Cameron (Angie's little boy) playing with clay


Lane opening gifts....


Reading the card, first!


had to capture that look...


SOOO BIG...he could not wait for us to sing Happy Birthday!


Making his wish...he got to make at least 10 wishes, he had me re-light the candle and sing to him several times after the party. He also sang a long.


Got Icing?


Lyric lost his FIRST tooth!! Thanks, Annie Jan!! The tooth fairy did visit and brought a gold dollar coin and several quarters...he hit the jackpot for a tooth the size of a cooked grain of rice. It was tiny!

Lyric's Penguin

Lyric's painting was selected to hang in a room at the new children's hospital in OKC. What an honor!! We are so proud of him!!


Receiving an award at school- kind of hard to see....


The painting


Lyric holding his painting...it is going to really brighten up that room!

Baseball

Sundays are kids' days at the Redhawks games in Bricktown. After the game, kids can go on the field to run the bases, hit some balls, and play catch in center field. The boys love watching baseball and love going onto the field. We have a lot of fun there!


lane enjoying some ballpark nachos! Yum!!

Festivals and Parades

We have been busy this Spring going lots of places and seeing all we can see. Near the end of April we went to the Arts Festival in OKC and to the 89er parade in Guthrie. Both were a lot of fun.

Trip to Republic

Girls' Night Out in April was awesome!! We tried Republic in OKC- the food was delicious and the atmosphere was amazing. cannot wait to go back again- it has since been way too crowded for us to get a table on a weekend evening. Will have to wait for summer.


Julie had a "flight" of beers- she got to sample a couple of different varieties instead of choosing just one.


One of our appetizers- potato skins with truffled sour cream


My entree- filet with apple slaw


Scotch Egg. Hard boiled egg surrounded with sausage and then deep fried. Republic's specialty...not my particular favorite- but photographs nicely.


Dessert- Mimi's donuts- served warm in the paper bag with cinnamon-sugar- came with 3 different sauces for dipping.


Donut with champagne....wonderful end to the meal!

Easter and Farmer's Market

We had a great Easter holiday this year. The boys loved decorating eggs. We even got to make filter-paper eggs at Chick Fil-A family night. Hunting eggs was fun, the boys got lots of candy and money for their banks. The weather was warm so we were able to spend most of it outside.
