VAL Day

Nana picked up Lyric from school and had a wonderful Valentine's day with him. They went to the MAC- Edmond's Multi-Activity Center- where Lyric partook (?) in some crafts and treats. They went to lunch at AppleBees together- Lyric had the ever predictable "chicken nuggets, french fries, and sprite"- which he usually never eats. From there they went to GrandDaddy's and hung out for a bit. When I came home from work- my mom was at my house with both boys, she cleaned my floors, unloaded my dishwasher, and folded my laundry. What a wonderful Valentine's day!! Jason had very strict instructions to not spend any money on me that day- he took it literally and made me a valentine's card. It has to be the absolute best card I have ever received. I think the only thing that would top his card is a regular store-bought Hallmark job with a million dollars in it. Here are some pictures from my mom....

Lyric LOVES his sugar.....

So Crafty!!

Fun at the MAC

Making my card- it was really cute!

Go Fly a Kite

With the weather being so nice, we couldn't pass up going to the park last weekend. We took a couple of kites, a little football, and some root beer. GrandDaddy and Memaw met us there for some fun at the park. Jason and I flew a kite together when we first started seeing each other. We went to the soccer fields across from Garnett Christian cChurch (near Jeff and Kathy's house). Aww...how sweet....we weren't really "dating" at the time- just hanging out as friends.
Colin loved flying his kite- he was a pro. Lyric played football with granddaddy- he is a busy body and flying a kite isn't too exciting when you want to run around. Baby Lane started on the blanket, but soon ventured off into the field with the other boys. I took lots of pictures- just because I can. Carol (memaw) started chemo last week to make sure her body is free of all the breast cancer. She is doign well so far, but will begin to feel the effects with each treatment (as well as lose her hair). It was just a fantastic afternoon- we ended the day by watching the super bowl with my brother and Mike. What a great day.

Fun with Baby

Although baby Lane doesn't feel great, he still looks pretty cute. Here are a few fun shots of him taking a bath in the sink, playing with toys in his room, and chowing on some Cheerios. He will be 9 months old this week. I can't believe it.

Yummy..Cheerios....

cupcakes

Julie's daughter turned 14 recently. She wanted silver and red cupcakes....so I volunteered to make them for her and her slumber party. They were a hit- and a lot of fun to make....

PJ Fun

My mom kept all 3 boys Friday night so jason and I could go out to dinner. When we got home, Lyric and Colin were ready for bed- the only thing is that Colin was wearing Lyric's pj's- he is a 5 or 6T and Lyric is a 3 or 4T. I think the pictures speak for themselves. Lane is pictured below, too....Jason got him dressed for bed on Monday. Pretty dang cute.

Nice Keds, Colin

What?

Woah!

Jason said "looks like he smelt a woof"

Sunday in the Park

We took the boys to a really nice park near our home. We stopped by and picked up Colin and let them run loose on the toys. It was a beautiful day- I had Lane in the snuggli so he could be a part of the action.

Fun with the Fam

A few weeks ago, a few visitors came down from Tulsa. We made homemade pizzas, drank wine, and played lots of games. Everyone got to spend quality time with the boys- and we all had a great evening together....

Friendly game of cards

Poker face?

Busy Week

Granny and Pa came to town on Sunday. It was January 6 and 75 degrees outside so we walked to the park and played for a little while. We went to dinner together at applebees where I ate way too many fried things. Granny and Pa took Lyric back to Tulsa with them for a few days while Lane was getting tubes in his ears. Everything went great. Thursday we took the boys to the OK science museum and saw the exhibit
"Our Body- The Universe Within". It was a free preview night for educators. It was a pretty neat exhibit- Lyric enjoyed it- he was very curious and attentive. Busy week!!

Wii Were Just Playing

Kyle brought his Wii over and we played a few games of bowling and golf. It was a nice evening- we had some potato soup and lots of snacks. The kids just played and played with all kinds of cars and other toys. Good Times...
