Buddies

Angie took these boys for a play date....along with Port, Dax, and Luke!

She's awesome!!  They had the best time and it was hilarious that they were all in their jerseys.

Boys...

Western Party

 Lucky for me my little girl enjoys dressing up as much as I do!  Isn't she absolutely adorable?!?  We bought a pair of boots for her and Haynes to share, but didn't tell them that:-)

 We moved in the process of the parties...

My cute cowboy even struck his own pose!!

This little guy is a loyal Thunder cowboy...

He would wear his Thunder gear EVERY DAY if i would let him. 

 Don't worry he has boots on too!!

Love this kid!

Haynes came in the other day to show my his talent of single arm push ups!

He is a strong little man:-)

Riding the Jeep

Monday's I take Halle to the city for physical therapy and Haynes and Ella get to rotate between playdates and going with us.  Brian was home since he was playing in the Young Life golf tournament so he volunteered to have some daddy time with them.  He recently ran into a pole!  So his truck was in the shop, but lucky for him he got to borrow my parents jeep.  It was definitely a fun treat except on those extra cold mornings!  Haynes and Ella bundled up and ran errands with daddy!  

Happy Birthday Brian!

Happy Birthday Brian!

Brian has been eyeing these golf carts for a few months, because it would be perfect for all our kid, friends, and cousins!  He got to go get it the weekend after his birthday.  On the way to pick it up he say, "I think you should prepare yourself for how big this is..."  

Oh dear...it is HUGE!

Ended like this....

We thought a hail storm was headed our way so Brian sent me back to my parents to put our car in the garage.  I thought everyone looked at me a little funny as I passed them on the street headed home...

We got on the highway and it started to hail.  It looked like Norman had made a mass exodus and so instead of waiting in traffic I turned onto 24th.  It started to rain so severely I couldn't see anything.  My mom called and about that time my car starts shaking back and forth and I say, "I think I am IN a tornado!"  I keep driving, tell the kids to sing some worship (they have NO clue how scared I am...thank you Jesus!) and Brian calls!  "Go back to my parents!" he says but I realize it is too late.  I kept driving to my parents and about the time I get to Rock Creek Road the tornado sirens go off.  Now my kids are concerned until I hit a puddle that literally feels like a ride at a water park and they all start laughing hysterically!  I tell them when we get to Lolli's to run and get in the closet under the stairs, but I'm pretty sure we are in the clear NOW:-)  After a little work we made a cozy little spot to keep us safe if we needed to go in a shelter again.

We quickly realized that I literally drove through the beginning of the tornado!  It was amazing to see the damage that it did to Norman in just a few moments.  Brian went to help our friends the Rice's who's home was hit.  I was with the kids when the power started to flicker.  Again I call my parents frantically looking for flashlights, but they like to use candles!  (That's really fun until you think of putting 4 kids in a closet with candles might be worse than a tornado!)  Don't worry we went and bought Lolli and Champ 6 fabulous new flashlights!

We were SO thankful for God's protection!!

The day started like this....

 We decided to spend the afternoon at JuJu's with our cousins.  

Haynes LOVES fishing!

The weather was perfect...almost too perfect!

 Harper has taught the girls some new things too!

There was a record number of golfers on the course and then suddenly no one was out there.  

We took that as a chance to explore the pond:-)

The girls wanted to be like the boys and play in the mud....

Then we heard the horn for all golfers to clear the course so we headed in the house.
