Our stocks are safe......right?

We went to the homecoming parade on Wednesday- we had a great time in little downtown Edmond watching the band, athletes, cheerleaders, and other students go by. Jason rode his motorcycle in the parade, too.....
Homecoming for North was on Thursday- they lost by a fieldgoal.....oh well- 0 and 3 for the season. As for HH- we have not lost a game!
:)
We will be in T-town all weekend so there will be lots of photo ops and posting to come.

I have no idea what happened here- he just started dancing around puling his shorts up....he thought he was pretty funny!

Rockabilly Posting?

So...on the blog, i have had more hits for the post "rockabilly wedding" than any other post I have made in the past year....so I have decided to title my posts with obscure titles in hopes that more people come to my blog and see what I have to say and share....the following pictures are just a couple of miscellaneous left over on my camera....



Lyric and Lane last week- getting ready to go to school


Isn't Lyric so cool with his shades in the rain!


Jason's Evan impression
We went to dinner with Julie and her mom to celebrate Julie's passing of the OK BAR exam...she is now an offical law upholder....so- if you have a need for legal representation- you should definately call her!

Retro-Activity

Jason built Lyric a fan tent the other night...both boys- uh I mean all 3 boys really enjoyed it. They read books, played with the Thomas lantern, and had a fun time.I know that Jason and Lyric already have plans to build a giant fan tent this weekend at Granny's......


The tent- took up Lyric's entire room....


Baby Lane in on the fun

Hairy

Lyric and I were on our way to school this week when he started a really odd conversation

L: I don't have hair on my "thingers" (fingers)- my dad has hair on his "thingers"

Me: Why does daddy have hair and you don't?

L: Because he's OLD....when you get old, that means you get hair on your "thingers"
I'm NEW- so I don't have hair on my thingers

Me: I don't have any hair on my fingers- what do you think that means?

L: You are NEW, too.

:)

So funny....

Art Museum

My friend Tiffany came into town last weekend and spent the night with us. She has a little boy (James) and he had a blast playing with Lyric and Lane. Saturday we just went to the little park in our neighborhood and grilled out some steaks. Sunday, we had some breakfast then headed to the OKC Muesum of Art for Family Fun Day. It was a great time. We started at the museum where the boys were able to create some "fresco" paintings- basically watercolors on plaster- Lane had so much fun painting- of course after about 10 minutes, he started trying to stick the paitbrush in his mouth- but we got a really beautiful creation out of him first. After the painting, we stepped outside for the "parade"- which consisted on 1 man in a gladiator costume on a horse. Not much of a parade- but we were able to meet up with Kyle and Colin while we were out there.
From the "parade" we went over to the library where we first watched a puppet show- supposedly a spin-off of Homer's Odessey- it was pretty good. From there we went to a sculpting class and then a mosaics class- the kids were so good and really liked participating in all the activities. Before we left the library, the boys had to have their faces painted- don't even ask me what Lyric was thinking....
We tried to view the exhibit at the museum- I was just not very comfortable looking at sculpture and atrifacts from 50 A.D. with a 4 year old skipping around and a 1 year old screaming (arched back and all) in a stroller- it seemed to take some of the magic and beauty from it. So...Jason and i are going back Friday to view the exhibit and spend some time on the roof. Should be great.

Football Game

We went to the HH-Casady game on Thursday- it was a great night- the weather was nice, the boys were minding, and the traffic wasn't awful. Once we bought a container of popcorn, Lyric and Lane were entertained for 30 minutes or so. Jason took the boys to an empty set of bleachers where they ran/crawled up and down up and down.
HH won the game and we had a nice family outing with no major meltdowns.


Me and my boys


Lyric and Lane- I just think the look on Lyric's face is hilarious!


Me and hubby....

Beat Casady!

Tonight is the night of the BIG GAME...Heritage Hall vs. Casady- some call it the Prep Bowl- I think it is going to be a blast. We had a huge assembly for the game today at school- Lyric's class made hats- they were adorable. Everyone had glow sticks- so when the lights were off- it looked really cool. Spirits are high- and they will be even stronger at the game tonight. I will take more pics tonight and post them later....


The only light in the gym at one point during the assembly


Lyric cheering them on in his hat


Go Chargers!


Quick shot of some of the student body- most wearing yellow shirts that say "beat Casady" on the back it says "5 in a row"

Jammin'

Last night, Jason placed some headphones on the baby- well- he is a natural. he started singing immediately when those things were on his head- we will be sure to get video of it- just awesome.
And speaking of music- when jason and Lyric start playing- jason on guitar and Lyric on drums- they sound like a real-live garage band for about 30 seconds- Lyric is really getting good on the drums- you will have to hear him next time you are over...


He didn't know any words, but man he was singing loud!


So cute- my little rock band babies

Here are some pictures to go with the post from yesterday.....enjoy.

Busy Busy

Well- I have a few pictures, but don't have my camera with me today- but I just wanted to say hi and update you on what we have been up to here in Edmond.
The Labor Day weekend was so nice- we were happy to have the extra day off. We painted the main hall of our home- it looks so good- I will put up pictures soon.
Uncle Billy seems to be holding in there- so we are happy with that news- I am dropping a special card in the mail for him today- one that is sure to lift his spirits. Lyric is going on a community field trip with school today to Pet Smart- all the students in his class get to pick out their own fish for the aquarium in their building.
Both boys went to the dr. yesterday- Lane is great- busy as ever- he has started to say "Uh-Oh", "what", "kitty", and "nite nite"- won't be long before he is really talking. Lyric has a sinus infection- so he is on an antibiotic for that- otherwise he is doing well, too. Lyric is up to 34 pounds- that is good- Lane is at 20 pounds and a little over 31 inches tall.
Tomorrow is the big rivalry between my school (Heritage Hall) and another private school in the area (Casady)- we are planning on attending the game. Friday night is Jason's school's season opener against another Edmond school. We will go to that game, too.
Saturday, my friend Tiffany and her son are coming to town to spend the night with us- we will just play and hang out, then go to the OKC Museum of Art for a family fun day.
We are looking forward to the weekend- but also looking forward to getting home this afternoon and actually having dinner as a family and relaxing with the rain in the background-
I will post pictures soon- maybe even later today....

Rockabilly Wedding part 2

Here is a link to a (full page) article in the Tulsa World about the wedding....what a neat story!

Rockabilly Wedding

OK- we went to a wedding over the weekend- it was in a bowling alley and had a rockabilly theme- I know what you must be thinking- because I was thinking the same things before we got there- but it really was one of the coolest weddings I have ever been to. The facilities at Riverlanes in Tulsa are really awesome- very clean, new, and state of the art. The ceremony was on the lanes- it was very beautiful- and family-oriented. The reception was held in a private room- and a band played as the night went on- what a great time-

The absolute cutest bowling shoes ever...we did return them to the desk....although i wanted to keep them


Camera about to lose all battery power- but here is Lyric in action

PF Chang's

To celerate the first day of school- we decided to have dinner at PF Chang's . We had a pretty decent time- Lane was good- up to the end- he had just had enough of that sitting still stuff. We took a few pictures of the evening....On the way home we stopped into Braums to get some milk and a little treat- Lane really likes ice cream- probably feels good on his gums since he has about 4 giant molars coming in at once.
