Fun on Thursday

Here are a couple of videos from tonight. We just realized that our camera can make little videos....(really?)Anyway- enjoy...
Baby Lane eating applesauce...yup- he is trying stage 1 baby food....He ALWAYS sneezes at least once while he is eating food....

So sweet.

Hello Tulsa

Playing Around

Here's a few pictures of my boys just playing around....Saturday was a pretty low-key afternoon- just some shopping, eating, and loafing. Cindy stayed the night with us- we had a good time....

Can't sit still too long....

Go Unio..I Mean Huskies!

Friday night we took the boys (Lyric, Lane, and Colin) to the Edmond North football game. It was a good time. Jan and Rick went with us, too- Rick got pelted inteh back by a piece of ice by a kid at the top of the stands- Teacher-mode mandy took care of the situation..then a police officer kicked the kida nd his friends out of the stadium.

Little "snuggle" bug....

Pittenger Regional

Well- this week we have 4 sick family members.....I started it with a sinus infection that feels like the flu. Baby Lane isn't handling the soy very well- so we took him back tot he dr. today- he has ACID REFLUX....seriously- I have to give my 4-month old medicine to help with AR...Lyric came into my bed this morning around 2:30 saying his "face hurt". I got some Tylenol down him, thinking he was developing the same thing I had....nope- once the tylenol was swallowed and he relaxed, he started screaming that his ear hurt. So, Lyric went to the dr. today, too- ear infection. Great. Now, Jason has the same sinus-flu thing and let's just say he is not coping very well.....
So- 4 sick people, during the work week- and on top of that, our insurance co-pay for GENERIC prescriptions is 25 dollars- THAT is ridiculous!
Dr Visits for 2 children: 30 dollars
Prescriptions at Walgreens: 95 dollars
Knowing that my birth conrol pills do not come in generic: very depre$$ing

Anyway- Jan and Rick will be here tomorrow- we are very excited for that- I think everyone will feel a lot better after a round of meds and a good night's sleep.
Here are a few pictures for your enjoyment:

First attempt at rice cereal...what a challenge....

New House

Well, it has been 1 week since we started moving in to our new house in Edmond. I will take some pictures as soon as things are a little more orderly. It is still pretty chaotic- boxes here and there, stuff all over the place, and don't even ask about the garage! Anyway- The boys are adjusting well, in fact better than Jason and I are. Lyric has a new BIG bed that he has been sleeping in all week. Lane's crib is set up n his room, but he has been sleeping in a little bed next to me this week. Part of me is not ready to let him have his own room yet, but he has also been sick- a lot of sinus drainage and coughing...so I just feel better with him next to me.
We switched baby to soy formula, he may have a slight allergy to cow's milk- his skin is a little dry and he is really gassy. I found the boys a pediatrician here in Edmond and took Lane to him the other day. So far, no change in baby since the switch- but it will probably take a few more days...
Uncle Kyle (Ky-wo as pronounced by Lyric) bought bubby a baseball glove this week. He loves it- even slept with it the first 2 nights. He also took it to school for show and tell on Thursday.
There are lots of young families in our neighborhood with lots of kids close to Lyric's age. AND- people here actually go out into the FRONT yard instead of hiding behind a privacy fence in the back. It will be nice here- just going to take us a while to adjust....

Lyric's new "Glub"

Lyric, Colin, and Connor- our neighbor's little boy- he is 4

happy baby

Fun with mom last night-

The camera gives baby that "deer in the headlights" look....

No Pictures?

OK- this is the first week of school (with students). Let me remind you that these are not just any students, they are 7th graders. A whole new breed of young people. Needless to say- I have not taken any pictures or thought about blogging this week. I fell asleep while reading to Lyric tonight (at 6pm). Isn't HE supposed to go night night when I read- not the other way around?
We MIGHT close on our Edmond house the same day we close on the Tulsa house- say a prayer that we can- we are all ready to have some space. My brother and sister-in-law have been awesome letting us stay here- but it has ben a little tight.
OK- so that's all to update you with- Lane is teething- he is a little young- but maybe he is just gifted.
Lyric is picking up some not so pleasant habits from others, like extra annoying whining and the release of blood curdling sounds (that mainly happens at Target).
talk to you soon....I'll try to take some pictures soon- really....if not for anything else for Granny- who misses my babies more than I would if I were out of town for a few days.

First Day of School

Here are a few pictures of Lyric's first day at school.....

Pelican Bay

Lyric and I went to the Edmond pool on Sunday. We had a really nice time together while Jason stayed in the cool indoors with baby Lane.

Night at the River

Just before we left town to come to Edmond, we got ot go out on the Riverwalk....It was a lot of fun- here are some party pics....

First Week in Edmond

Well, I haven't been on here all week. We have been trying to get settled into the spare bedroom at my brother's house, trying to find a new house to buy, and trying to get back in the groove of working full time. We thought we would be able to sleep peacefully on the hide-a-bed couch for the month of August- after one night of no sleep, I went to purchase a new queen size mattress set. Now, we are doing much better. We shopped for a home to purchase every night this week. We finally found one and put a contract on it last night. There will be more information to come on this one later.
Today, we are at my parents' house for Colin's 5th birthday party. We are having a good time, but it is pretty hot outside. Not much else going on- we are trying to relax and get psyched up for a full work week next week. The boys will start their day care on Monday- that will be a tough day for me for sure!
Here are a few photos of what has been happening....

Home Sweet Home.....Dead grass will be replaced with live grass...

Cheese!!

Aww...mom and bubby

You didn't think I would leave out baby Lane did you?

Dr. Visit

Baby Lane got lots of vaccinations at the doctor today....these were taken BEFORE the shots.....He weighed 10 pounds 11 ounces and was 24 and a half inches long....he's such a good boy!

Fun in the Sun

Colin and Nana are here visiting while Jason is out of town. We moved the slide into the little swimming pool and hooked the water hose up to it- needless to say- it was a blast for them......They also have been playing with stickers and crayons on the patio, drinking lots of Capri Suns, swinging on the swingset, and just general horsing around......
