Good Times with Good Friends

I love my best friends....My #1 best friend is my husband....but I also have 4 best friends who also call me "sister", bff's from childhood, those from college, and those I have met in recent years...A best friend is hard to find....I am lucky enough to have several best girlfriends who I can confide in, feel comfortable with in every way, who I can talk to for hours on end and don't even know a minute has past, and who most of all love me for who I am....I have been blessed beyond measure!

To make things even better, I have a best friend who moved in to my neighborhood a month ago. She lives one street over, has 3 amazing babies, and brings so much joy to my life! Here we are with ALL of our babies at the zoo....What a fun time in my life...I'm trying not to blink...I don't want it to be over!

Crazy, Crazy, and more Crazy!

These last two weeks have been nuts....With 4 of the boys playing baseball and 3 of the boys playing football, it seems like we never have a night without some kind of sporting event......and games haven't even started yet! I love it, and wouldn't have it any other way, but it sure does make our lives crazy, crazy, crazy BUSY!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Kate has officially given up her binky! We started taking it away during the day, and then a 4 days ago took it away at nighttime....she was not extremely happy with me..LOL!.... She has gone to bed the last two nights without any crying! I am so happy to be able to see her sweet smiling face ALL the time now!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brian is still doing great in pre-school...I was afraid the excitement would wear off and he would go back to his old ways, but he hasn't shed a tear and is so excited to go to school every time!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I started a boot camp class on Wednesday.....I am going back tomorrow...It kicked my booty, to say the least! but as a friend keeps telling me...No Pain, No Gain!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

College football season officially starts this Saturday!...I can hardly wait to be sitting in the stands! Boomer Sooner!

I'm a Sooner born and Sooner bred
and when I die, I'll be Sooner dead
Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma
Rah Oklahoma, OK U!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have had tons and tons of hat and dress orders....I am crazy crazy crazy BUSY trying to get them all done!

First Day(s) of School

The 3 big boys ready for their first days of 4th grade, 2nd grade, and Kindergarten. Ready and smiling for a new year.

Brian on his first day of pre-school...He was a little less excited than his brothers, but did great. I've been a nervous wreck all summer waiting for school to start. He's a ~~little~~ lot bit of a mama's boy. Has a hard time being away from me...and tends to cry a ~~little~~ a lot when I leave him...but God put him in the hands of the perfect teachers, and he went in without a tear. I left in such relief that I couldn't keep the tears from flowing....Such a blessing to find teachers who love your kids the way you do!

Alex has a great hit, followed by a great steal!....

To Blog or Not to Blog....that is the question.

I have gone through times in my life where I really felt the need to write "stuff" down...Then I go through short (or long) times where I dread the thought of even taking the time to write....Then I start feeling guilty about all the things I have missed by not writing...and then I get overwhelmed by what I haven't documented and I just can't get started.....It's a vicous circle!

So, I have decided that all this stress and guilt has got to stop. I have decided to just write when I feel like writing and not feel guilty when I don't.....those little spaces in time when I'm not blogging will just have to be little gaps.. Over a lifetime those little gaps will not even be noticed. So here I go....maybe for a day...maybe a week, maybe even a month...we shall see....
Here's a recent picture of my babes....growing too fast.

No Snow Day

There is a dusting of snow at our house....

but not enough for sledding :*(

All 4 boys got sleds for Christmas. They can't wait to use them. In fact, they pulled out the sleds last night in anticipation of a snow day. When they awoke this morning I could hear them rattling around the windows looking for piles and piles of snow. They were definitely disappointed. It's snowing as I write, so maybe by this afternoon there will be enough for a little sledding and sliding!
