Zoo Trip, Horse Ride, & Making Cupcakes!

Since I have not composed a post since last week, I am putting our past week events all in one. Josh was off last week so we took the kids to the zoo. This was William's first zoo trip. Brynlee stayed the weekend with Ma & Pa Kelly in southwest Oklahoma. She had her first horse ride. I heard she was a natural. Today Brynlee begged me to make the Halloween cupcakes that I promised her we would make together. She loved every minute of it.

This week I need to get the last tid bits for their Halloween costumes. Miss Brynlee is Dorthy and William is a munchkin (Daddy was not too thrilled with the munchkin idea; he claims he will get beat up. I told him I can take any 1 year old that wants to make fun of my little boy!) I am sure we will have some pictures to post of the Wizard of Oz cuties next week.

Just like her mommy; enjoying the best part of cooking!

Pumpkin Patch

I love Fall! Cool days where I do not mind going outside to play with the kids! Our excitement this week was picking out some pumpkins, MaMaw and PaPaw visiting, and me getting my hair done. During our pumpkin outing, I had the bright idea to take some pictures. It did not go as planned, but I did get a few. I wanted to go to real pumpkin patch, but we settled for "Under the Sun" instead. Brynlee had fun putting every little pumpkin in the cart, and William had fun stomping in water puddles.

They spent most of their time inspecting the hay during the photo attempt.

A Time of Birthday Celebration and Sooner Mourning!

William's first Birthday party fell on the day of the OU - Texas game. We were all decked out in our crimson and cream, and the game was on during the birthday bash. We all enjoyed some cake and ice cream; then shed tears of defeat. Here our a few pics from Williams first OU Birthday party.

Everyone's Home again!

Well, William and I had the whole weekend to ourselves. My MIL took us shopping on Saturday. It was quite nice. Sunday we did not end up going to church (William had a bout of loose stools). I watched Lifetime all day and played with William. I cannot tell you the last time I was able to watch what I wanted to. The silence was nice, but I did miss my hubby and little girl so. Brynlee got to spend the weekend with MaMaw and PaPaw. She came back with a bucket of treasures and some fish to put in her new fish tank. Josh spent the weekend in Orlando listening to talks about the GI system (quite entertaining I am sure), but he did come home with some free drug-rep goodies. It is nice to have the house full and lively again. Oh, I do love this Family!

Happy Birthday to William!

Well, today my little boy turns 1! One year ago this morning, William decided to enter this world 1.5 wks before his scheduled c-section. It was 2:30 am I woke up to a odd feeling, then thought, "oh no, I think my water just broke". Then I stood up and knew for sure it had; I woke up Josh and all he can say is, "Are you sure? Call Dr. Goff and see what he wants us to do." I started crying because I still had 3 more days of work left and no bags packed, and I knew what we were suppose do!!! Get to the hospital so I can get that c-section!!! Josh was not very empathetic that early. All he wanted to do was take a shower. Oh, the fun memories. Well, here are a few pics of the birthday boy and his family that loves him very much!
