Happy Birthday to you...







Just wanted to tell everyone my wonderful, crazy, ornery, fun husbands birthday is tomorrow! He will be 36- I've been lucky enough to spend the last ten birthdays with him.


We began the birthday celebration tonight with a small cake on our special birthday plate and dinner on our china! Camryn was so excited to sing "Happy Birthday!"

What a fun few days we've had...Ending my maternity leave makes me really sad but we've been able to really take advantage of special times...I have to go back to work on Jan. 2nd. Jeff will take over mommy duties in the morning and then our favorite Miss Patty will be back to love on the girls! Camryn can hardly wait and Cassidy will soon find out how lucky we are!!!
We hope each of you and your families have a WONDERFUL Christmas! We are so thankful for our many blessings and celebrate the best gift of all- Jesus Christ.

The potty is our friend...












Who would have thought going to the potty could be so exciting? Well, at our house we clap, we cheer and we get so excited when we have potty success! Camryn has consistently been going to the potty and staying dry all day for about a week now. She does have an occasional accident and bedtime is not successful yet..but, we will get there!

Just a couple of pictures till next week...One of Camryn and I with one of our favorite little boys and his great mommy- Robyn and Harrison, one of Cassidy before our family pictures (Becki- her checks are probably fatter than Greysons), one of my monster Camryn after naptime, and one of Cassidy and her favorite new thing to do- smiling!

We have a big weekend ahead of us! Camryn is going to be a flower girl in one of my former cheerleaders weddings (We love you Miss Jenni)...Rehearsal and dinner tonight and then the wedding tomorrow- hopefully she will follow directions and be a good flower girl!

My favorites...

Ok...I give in...I was challenged by one of my college friends, Becki, to play along with her in the game of five favorites...so, here we go!


My FIVE favorites...

1. Bedtime with Camryn- I love bedtime with my precious one. Jeff and I take Camryn to bed together every night. We pancake her in the middle and lay with her while she says her prayers. It's amazing to hear the things she prays about at only two years of age. We are so thankful for our little miracle! Most nights I don't leave the room with a dry eye.

1 1/2. Snuggle time with Cassidy- She is really alert now and is smiling and cooing all the time. I am amazed how you can love a second child just as much as you do the first!

2. Boomer Sooner- I love "date night" during OU football season with my favorite fanatic, Jeff! We love it all- driving to Norman, reading the Daily Oklahoman sports section (out loud in the car), eating at fun new restaurants, seeing friends and listening to the post game show on the Sports Animal..We have been going to the games since 2000- what a fun tradition we have going!

3. Family and Friends- I am blessed with an amazing family, great in-laws and fun fun friends! I truly enjoy every minute I spend with each and everyone of them!

4. Diet Dr. Pepper and Chocolate Chip Cookies....enough said!

5. Summer time!!! I love love love hanging out in the pool. We spend lots of time playing outside with our friends Jamie, Harry and grandma Kathy. This summer we will add Cassidy and Hadley Kate to the outdoor fun!
