Welcome Tara

We spent last night a Todd and Sarah's house so that we could take care of Emri when she woke up. We had a really fun morning playing and swinging on the swingset. The weather was beautiful. I was able to go to the hospital to see the new little princess when Millie came home to take care of Emri and watch my kids for a short time. Tara is so precious...she weighed 6lbs 4oz and is 17 inches long. She is tiny and looks just like her big sister. Congratulations Lindleys!!!

Happy 30th Birthday Daddy!

Sunday, August 31st was an eventful day! On our way to church, Nathan put his arm behind grandma while she was getting in the car and hurt his arm. He cried for a while and held his arm and wouldn't use it. At the beginning of Sacrament meeting, he was very whiney and I had to take him to see if it was broken. I made our first urgent care trip! The doctor was nice and they took good care of us, so it wasn't too bad of an experience over all. X-rays showed no major issues so we went back to church with a wrap on Nathan's arm to make him feel better (and a Mater sticker--which really made him all better). After church I made Tommy favorite meal...grilled corn, steak, salad, and baked sweet potatoes. After rest time, we had his birthday party with the kids--cake and ice cream and presents! Here he is in his birthday clothes from my mom.

Birthday Dinner at Red Robin

Tommy's birthday was on Sunday, so Saturday night we went out to eat with the Johnstons at Red Robin. My mom was up for Labor Day and she watched the kids so that we could have a peaceful meal out. Grandma Vicky was finishing her management training here at the OKC Red Robin and invited us. It was a lot of fun and Vicky led the crew in their birthday song. The food was really good!

Library/ Myriad Gardens Playgroup

At our last playgroup was at the downtown library. We had a good time with books and puzzles and had a picnic lunch. After lunch, the kids were ready to run! We walked to the Myriad Gardens right behind the library. The gardens are beautiful and we all enjoyed a walk along the path. We had a small challenge when we found ourselves at the bottom by the water with 3 strollers and no way up but stairs. Good times!!

Centennial Waterfall 8/26/08

We found the centennial waterfall at the fairgrounds when we went to the consignment sale with Charly and Ethan. We were not too excited about the sale, but the kids enjoyed the waterfall (and Jaycie was working the poses as you can see) It is rare that they allow me to do these type of photo shoots that I love to do. Nathan was not really sure about it, but I appreciate Jaycie playing along!! Thanks to Charly for bringing her camera because I did not have mine. Who knew we would find this opportunity at the fairgrounds. Must be new...we had a good time.
Ethan was up for a few pics too!
