I am officially on a swim team, AKA the Tulsa City Dolphins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a really good team. I go twice a week to practice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am really good at breast stroke. My first meet, I won my heat in breast stroke. This is what it looks like.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also a stroke called Backstroke and, you guessed it, you lay on your back, put your arms behind you and kick your feet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img alt="Image result for backstroke" class="mainImage accessible nofocus" data-bm="14" height="320" src="http://www3.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Olympic+Team+Trials+Swimming+Day+3+N6GhhFH-rhIl.jpg" tabindex="0" title="View source image" width="212" /></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is ANOTHER stroke called freestyle. It is just like backstroke, but on your stomach.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Clara Barton by Evelyn<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e4/ClaraBartonWcbyoung.jpg" width="334" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is Clara Barton. She was a nurse for the Civil War.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">This is her story.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In 1821on Christmas Day Clarissa Harlowe Barton was born in North Oxford, Massachusetts they nicknamed her Clara.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clara was scared of spiders,thunderstorms,and snakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clara was eleven years old when her brother David Barton<br />
fell of a barn roof.<br />
<br />
<img height="400" src="https://wizzley.com/static/uploads/en/module/image/2014/07/12/2014-07-12_14-00-22_193.622x621.jpg" width="305" /><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />
For 2 years Clara nursed him <br />
back to health. After nursing him back to health she missed nursing him back to health,<br />
but also happy that he was better<br />
<br />
Clara soon started teaching. She was very good at it<br />
At 18 she went to collage ,while she was in collage she received a letter from <br />
her brother Stephen telling her that their mother <br />
had died:[<br />
Clara hadn't gotten the letter fast enough to be able to go to the funeral :[<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img height="400" src="http://clarabartonbirthplace.org/site/sites/default/files/sarahbarton_big.jpg" width="297" /><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />
After that she went back to teaching, <br />
but the school owners started thinking "That Barton thinks that she's as good as a man! and "Disgraceful !<br />
A woman should not be allowed to run a school."<br />
<br />
Soon after that they hired J.Kirby Burnham.<br />
Clara taught for a few more months.<br />
Clara then started helping with the Union army, bringing them food on the battlefield.<br />
Clara asked if she could help the soldiers on the battle field and Colonel Rucker said "Yes"<br />
Clara worked really hard helping wounded soldiers.<br />
<br />
<br />
Fun Fact: Clara was almost shot while the man she was nursing died<br />
Clara then helped families find relatives.<br />
<br />
Soon Clara opened The American Red Cross to help people that are in need.<br />
<br />
<br />
<img src="http://www.hayspost.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/american-red-cross.jpg" /><br />
<br />
So she started working at the Red Cross.<br />
She soon got a message saying that her sister Sally Barton was ill<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<img height="640" src="https://tse1.mm.bing.net/th?&id=OIP.Mb6b0d90854e49116348b923d65690154o2&w=196&h=264&c=0&pid=1.9&rs=0&p=0&r=0" width="473" /><br />
Clara was sad because of Sally's death but still working at the Red Cross.<br />
A little while later on April 12, 1912, Clarissa Harlowe Barton died:[<br />
The Red Cross is still around today.<br />
<br />
I think Clara Barton is pretty cool, Huh? <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">This is Asoka</span></div>
<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">He was an conqueror, a mean conqueror I say. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">His family was a dynasty in India.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">When he was younger </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">everyone called him Asoka the Fierce </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">because he would kill anyone and anything !!!!!!!!!!!! When he was 22 his father died:[</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">That meant that Asoka would take the throne. Asoka wanted more and more power.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">But one day after a long time of war Asoka had won the Battle of Kalinga.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Asoka went on the battlefield, there was blood every where.<span style="color: purple;"></span><span style="color: #351c75;"></span><span style="color: #351c75;"></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;">Asoka felt really bad about it </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="166" src="http://cdn3.list25.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Slide1501.jpg" width="320" /> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">After the battle Asoka was nice. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #351c75;">He built stupas for prayer and edicts .</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When Asoka built the stupas and edicts he believed in Buddhism.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He believed that everyone should be treated fairly. :] !!!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The rest of his life he was nice :]</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Asoka is pretty cool, huh?</div>

I went to the doc on Wednesday and things seem to be going very well. Right now, according to the ultra sound, the baby is growing right on track and weighs about 6 pounds. If I carry full term we should be looking at another 8-9 pound baby. Healthy and happy hopefully. The only surprising news is that because the baby is sitting so low and because I am already <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">dilated</span>, we might deliver early...this could be the Christmas baby :) <br />Evelyn is as wonderful as we could have ever imagined and we are so excited about the holidays. She is saying "Santa" and loves riding around at night shouting out the colors of all the Christmas lights and looking at the decorations. <br />Shopping is finished, wrapping will be by this weekend, and we are ready for this exciting time of year. We hope to be able to share it with all that we love and cherish and wish each of you a calm and happy next few weeks!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-40964090984376337652008-12-03T11:59:00.001-08:002008-12-03T12:15:31.899-08:00We're Thankful For....<span style="color:#3333ff;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">The holiday season is upon us and we have found ourselves in a rush to get the house decorated, presents purchased, and things situated for the new arrival. Needless to say, we have been very busy around here! Thanksgiving was a wonderful day full of great food and family that we have not seen in awhile. Evelyn had a great time playing and entertaining and we very much enjoyed her ability to interact with others, giving mommy and daddy a little break. She is growing at amazing rates lately, physically and mentally. Her vocabulary is growing everyday and it has become quite interesting to listen to what she picks up! Just yesterday, her Oma taught her how to properly give her baby a bottle and she caught right on. Now...let's just hope she's as happy about a real baby as she is about the doll... </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">I am working for three more weeks and then will go on a maternity leave, of sorts, from tutoring in order to adjust to having two little ones in the house. Kevin has started his job with BOK and in just 3 days they have managed to keep him very busy! </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">We hope that all is well with you and look forward to the holidays and catching up. Enjoy the random pics below.

Evelyn went as a ladybug this year (thanks to our friend Julie S) and the costume could not have looked more adorable. A few weeks ago we tried it on and Evie screamed her little head off. So, I put it in the closet until right before it was time to go and she thought that it was a big treat to put it on. She greeted daddy at the door as he arrived home from work and the expression on his face made her so happy that she didn't seem to mind wearing it much anymore. We visited a few houses and Evie carried around her pumpkin, but really had no idea what was going on. She was totally happy when we let her take the costume off and sort her candy from one basket to another. Here are a few of the pics that we were able to get. It's tough trying to get a ladybug to smile :) Hope that you all had a great Halloween!</span></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV2xhXSQVsVcpeelD-vRQk5CAjX_QdMFV_dAs8pHCePMXkQ4inV995Hf0D5owfgHeeyxyIJEdpPG_yCSmtkiI_yXbQ7-Jcp_B3Apde83VD4ie7qtMYwAqB6CoUCAAnYQnUq71N6Q/s1600-h/CIMG0559.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264885288138507666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhV2xhXSQVsVcpeelD-vRQk5CAjX_QdMFV_dAs8pHCePMXkQ4inV995Hf0D5owfgHeeyxyIJEdpPG_yCSmtkiI_yXbQ7-Jcp_B3Apde83VD4ie7qtMYwAqB6CoUCAAnYQnUq71N6Q/s320/CIMG0559.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#ff6600;"><span style="font-family:verdana;">Our Little Ladybug</span><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVdaFoKY8G0qx24lU5F-4UWn-4wfeDwiDTbMKFTXItyP7ATd0XXLBJflPI4-0zOBeU4X_soSnAqXTwejVJjZKd1RGOa0UefM0unhh0dJv5KUlVRECRbaTOlczT3FBdSUmvaAhWaA/s1600-h/CIMG0556.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264885280907765554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVdaFoKY8G0qx24lU5F-4UWn-4wfeDwiDTbMKFTXItyP7ATd0XXLBJflPI4-0zOBeU4X_soSnAqXTwejVJjZKd1RGOa0UefM0unhh0dJv5KUlVRECRbaTOlczT3FBdSUmvaAhWaA/s320/CIMG0556.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#ff6600;">Trick or Treat!!<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ1_Qr66UlPWv7b3KdogGK56GsXpxWYllXf8gcQo1rjQyW4fSCHPOVJHYamrd_0yutlaasT7JWpTWuJcGy1lb4W5YNXooqYyYbuvt_fbR_qpWZ-e_mpUPYkdmuCFPgleCn-UZbLQ/s1600-h/cimg0553.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264885273722665778" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZ1_Qr66UlPWv7b3KdogGK56GsXpxWYllXf8gcQo1rjQyW4fSCHPOVJHYamrd_0yutlaasT7JWpTWuJcGy1lb4W5YNXooqYyYbuvt_fbR_qpWZ-e_mpUPYkdmuCFPgleCn-UZbLQ/s320/cimg0553.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#ff6600;">Ahhh...no costume<br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6pK0sDaUdbJddSMpjzRa1RigGm9ef-5tAoKSV78lQWAfnleQv3b-5DMMX8yKzfYFlDQqY_HZE3Zvp-qmwWkKo2tt8gcvmPhX8jeYj120YBxdbah9nPrsOJptrb9yZOpYot7Tozg/s1600-h/CIMG0551.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264885270704290434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 208px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6pK0sDaUdbJddSMpjzRa1RigGm9ef-5tAoKSV78lQWAfnleQv3b-5DMMX8yKzfYFlDQqY_HZE3Zvp-qmwWkKo2tt8gcvmPhX8jeYj120YBxdbah9nPrsOJptrb9yZOpYot7Tozg/s320/CIMG0551.JPG" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#ff6600;">Daddy and his little girl<br /></span><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9e2TGZZffMPWx9TlTYwpGaybm083jOhMNT9pSDhnr_oSGa2hWvuwoVXnfZEsgFJYBtmoXXvR-c34ILQJnaT_9M4gwIDp-1I0Ow66CcrogkdqQ-UqwRLgyawunYDH-Hn_8IMW2JA/s1600-h/cimg0548.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264885267933015730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9e2TGZZffMPWx9TlTYwpGaybm083jOhMNT9pSDhnr_oSGa2hWvuwoVXnfZEsgFJYBtmoXXvR-c34ILQJnaT_9M4gwIDp-1I0Ow66CcrogkdqQ-UqwRLgyawunYDH-Hn_8IMW2JA/s320/cimg0548.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="color:#ff6600;">One happy girl!<br /><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-84001099893828890192008-11-04T11:18:00.000-08:002008-11-04T11:20:08.797-08:00Go Vote!<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">Everybody's doing it!!</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOErSbmh0qepl2MWj3J9cVAZkhuU8jqS1tv-3GBFSq2ox-36jlSs8FYLO5Ktc_RCBo6fHUsoEgxR1jVQXCZtbsKOWYrlTzuRyxdzMEyC069zx0viuIOuSDsohE-mVFGP-UWAsBfw/s1600-h/CIMG0561.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264884162341481394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 206px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOErSbmh0qepl2MWj3J9cVAZkhuU8jqS1tv-3GBFSq2ox-36jlSs8FYLO5Ktc_RCBo6fHUsoEgxR1jVQXCZtbsKOWYrlTzuRyxdzMEyC069zx0viuIOuSDsohE-mVFGP-UWAsBfw/s320/CIMG0561.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-75391871385642946702008-10-05T12:13:00.000-07:002008-10-05T12:25:25.389-07:00Just a Little More<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#993399;">So, the week and weekend that we had planned did not happen. A series of unfortunate, though humorous in a way, events took place that set all of us back. the baby cold that Evie has been fighting took a strong hold at the beginning of the week, just in time for the baby to move right onto my sciatic nerve, therefore putting me out of commission. My mom was nice enough to offer to help me with Evie during the day because I was having a great deal of trouble getting around and chasing her was tough! So, the second day that we trekked over to mom's for help, she stepped wrong off of the back deck and managed to break her foot. After an afternoon at the minor emergency room, we decided to call it a week and throw the towel in. My clients were cancelled, the garage sale was postponed and other activities were foregone. What a mess this week has been! Next week can only get better...hopefully:)<br />I am including in this gloomy post, some of the other pics taken at the zoo. The little "Mac Daddy" in the pictures with Evie is her friend Aaron....too cute!<br /> Wishing you all a happy, healthy week :)<br /></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh802rNMh8WElhaZI_bC8czseeZq5TXWraDWnwSniuy09iDmQtC5JYBeab5aKDeSItXq6Q2O-ETqAChnLyHZtix-EtC-pZ9LSyKETEh7_evk-n0mTKD5RJ8MjO9ByzZ5rPBtfGlIQ/s1600-h/232323232%257Ffp43288%253Enu%253D3235%253E%253A%253B%253B%253E478%253EWSNRCG%253D32335352%253C7%253C29nu0mrj.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253752626343595522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh802rNMh8WElhaZI_bC8czseeZq5TXWraDWnwSniuy09iDmQtC5JYBeab5aKDeSItXq6Q2O-ETqAChnLyHZtix-EtC-pZ9LSyKETEh7_evk-n0mTKD5RJ8MjO9ByzZ5rPBtfGlIQ/s320/232323232%257Ffp43288%253Enu%253D3235%253E%253A%253B%253B%253E478%253EWSNRCG%253D32335352%253C7%253C29nu0mrj.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2cFxevlNS_2f7q5AcJUsv1s_XtxhAmDw39ViWIes1uHsqxF0czzwRMmxNHc1RG75Tq1IaBYxPCVGuhienFFQuJrwiQ7ya6_qmYaGd9QVp2m6ymKoHqiEr8QNXaCmzMDN9CXuBlQ/s1600-h/232323232%257Ffp43285%253Enu%253D3235%253E%253A%253B%253B%253E478%253EWSNRCG%253D32335352%253B6%253A7%253Bnu0mrj.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253752626982500146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2cFxevlNS_2f7q5AcJUsv1s_XtxhAmDw39ViWIes1uHsqxF0czzwRMmxNHc1RG75Tq1IaBYxPCVGuhienFFQuJrwiQ7ya6_qmYaGd9QVp2m6ymKoHqiEr8QNXaCmzMDN9CXuBlQ/s320/232323232%257Ffp43285%253Enu%253D3235%253E%253A%253B%253B%253E478%253EWSNRCG%253D32335352%253B6%253A7%253Bnu0mrj.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQuLxUYUJiLlbFopAk1pzQk3hhHsmXtLA3L2ejWuh3Y2UwpvdVzJOJ0HzmFKIzF0rI37hdM2yT8Bn4Cxrf09NzA8SDDBEOvVo9evEiXSi6k2JnE3CKvzpnd4Nzt2MVAj2A5I49g/s1600-h/232323232%257Ffp43284%253Enu%253D3235%253E%253A%253B%253B%253E478%253EWSNRCG%253D32335352%253C%253A73%253Anu0mrj.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253752624993037714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNQuLxUYUJiLlbFopAk1pzQk3hhHsmXtLA3L2ejWuh3Y2UwpvdVzJOJ0HzmFKIzF0rI37hdM2yT8Bn4Cxrf09NzA8SDDBEOvVo9evEiXSi6k2JnE3CKvzpnd4Nzt2MVAj2A5I49g/s320/232323232%257Ffp43284%253Enu%253D3235%253E%253A%253B%253B%253E478%253EWSNRCG%253D32335352%253C%253A73%253Anu0mrj.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZmruCKoUAf-ginany4-ZYE2821e_cqwxOCCO8ygBTojmDDZklDUry8nmv9xeYTz7OEqJ5JtN5ZDIj7u_J2pF0vU_2PPZVxPswWbWdUIL8rl8GZHwzOHwYqsQpMcMZ19e4i9GxIA/s1600-h/232323232%257Ffp43284%253Enu%253D3235%253E%253A%253B%253B%253E478%253EWSNRCG%253D3233535333%253A4%253Anu0mrj.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5253752630156572754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZmruCKoUAf-ginany4-ZYE2821e_cqwxOCCO8ygBTojmDDZklDUry8nmv9xeYTz7OEqJ5JtN5ZDIj7u_J2pF0vU_2PPZVxPswWbWdUIL8rl8GZHwzOHwYqsQpMcMZ19e4i9GxIA/s320/232323232%257Ffp43284%253Enu%253D3235%253E%253A%253B%253B%253E478%253EWSNRCG%253D3233535333%253A4%253Anu0mrj.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-84873977898898315862008-09-30T05:23:00.000-07:002008-09-30T05:36:21.563-07:00A Busy Weekend<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc0000;">This weekend we kept Evelyn very busy!! On Friday we <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">visited</span> the zoo again with our friends Janna and Aaron. This is the second time that we have been together and Janna and I think that we finally have the best way figured out! The kids had a great time together. I really don't know who enjoys it more, the kids or the moms :) We were able to visit the newly remodeled petting zoo where Evelyn tested her Dr. Doolittle skills and then moved along to <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Featherfest</span> where she fed several birds and giggled nonstop.</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc0000;">Then, Saturday, we had a make-up class at Lil' Gym so Kevin was able to go with us. It was backwards day so we practiced walking, running, and flipping backwards. She loved it and is now <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">insisting</span> on flipping forward and backwards at home :) It really has been a great experience for her. Her skills are developing and she is having a great time. Of course, her favorite time is bubble time at the end of class!</span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc0000;">We have another busy week ahead of us and are going to try to fight off another baby cold that was picked up somewhere in all the excitement this weekend. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc0000;">If you're in the area this weekend, stop by and keep us company at yet another garage sale :)</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiinjDWNhUee8Jxl79hZTPliheMRbqEryhKLjofDyjlZ1qFMdppvgBWSRXXPj0XoI98sjW2rHR2UJMnAqD_I4TIUFJoz0ex_AEhBAxns-HmR0OpSPhww1BAg2e8ecNJ3DwH1urB5g/s1600-h/CIMG0485.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251790019905494290" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiinjDWNhUee8Jxl79hZTPliheMRbqEryhKLjofDyjlZ1qFMdppvgBWSRXXPj0XoI98sjW2rHR2UJMnAqD_I4TIUFJoz0ex_AEhBAxns-HmR0OpSPhww1BAg2e8ecNJ3DwH1urB5g/s320/CIMG0485.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn8rkR2VJ3emDx0fMeeQyg2ZzLVFaVYENjq26Vn-ST9qb3omKczM2uAqmmYSDWVDbH36TQJxvjoNoHKMOuvMcZQEVirOiHJqrW11tnGv-bDCpL0I6YlUGZnI3SJO73bzQNz7utxw/s1600-h/CIMG0488.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251790023289383522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn8rkR2VJ3emDx0fMeeQyg2ZzLVFaVYENjq26Vn-ST9qb3omKczM2uAqmmYSDWVDbH36TQJxvjoNoHKMOuvMcZQEVirOiHJqrW11tnGv-bDCpL0I6YlUGZnI3SJO73bzQNz7utxw/s320/CIMG0488.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsPotj5yb0WfihBmOXgyMOiPWx0abhzFxChkwtC2P9GjY7NdWNIODTApCGqOTjxWiMjJ8GdH82VGd6aiOuyIN27XcTZ6gwSMmkczMchuBLmYt-QvnmKKUDt3TnPaqKcftaJTYNlQ/s1600-h/CIMG0491.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251790028780188194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsPotj5yb0WfihBmOXgyMOiPWx0abhzFxChkwtC2P9GjY7NdWNIODTApCGqOTjxWiMjJ8GdH82VGd6aiOuyIN27XcTZ6gwSMmkczMchuBLmYt-QvnmKKUDt3TnPaqKcftaJTYNlQ/s320/CIMG0491.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7tHVz4rE3LpivUshk5gmymJ-h777Sk1tWnhyYFEzaHBhTkt1Ox1JmOvkIGipWLlqhGw1K2_IY7nUCNI5BGj2yp6ZTs39EQ9tF6NGW7NdH7iqnF2ITecbYcDiC86O-Do4POTZPwA/s1600-h/CIMG0500.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251790027834657346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7tHVz4rE3LpivUshk5gmymJ-h777Sk1tWnhyYFEzaHBhTkt1Ox1JmOvkIGipWLlqhGw1K2_IY7nUCNI5BGj2yp6ZTs39EQ9tF6NGW7NdH7iqnF2ITecbYcDiC86O-Do4POTZPwA/s320/CIMG0500.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSIlBvmSVioaCFZOrNmH4GoTeoLAaN-_5fDDU2PLwIUUKYv_LY1MmHUGG9V0MyZT8ZyalIHVeIrwgIwNrI2ZeX_52ft8pxneOwBwrupehKDbhbzPL5b29uL1e6WTfBWzUafeUkw/s1600-h/cimg0503.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251790033181392210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxSIlBvmSVioaCFZOrNmH4GoTeoLAaN-_5fDDU2PLwIUUKYv_LY1MmHUGG9V0MyZT8ZyalIHVeIrwgIwNrI2ZeX_52ft8pxneOwBwrupehKDbhbzPL5b29uL1e6WTfBWzUafeUkw/s320/cimg0503.jpg" border="0" /></a> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251790212123281010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9lHj2miAFtyNuQ0P9OPcyqazbyPFL-U5mp2gGAFVtwPQiQ-bGKCqtWNOH-fsfp4CyYxZ-HMvvaS5KyH1xghZRJhdZOokJCfMbhOQKwyLWH0yIyeOvu7W-810wWJh0Tff7g7jG4Q/s320/CIMG0508.JPG" border="0" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-16368765024855085782008-09-20T12:07:00.000-07:002008-09-20T18:22:30.859-07:00Trying This AgainSo, as I have realized that there are still people checking this despite our total lack of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">commitment</span>, I am vowing to give it another go. After all, there has been a lot going on and will be so much more to come very soon. Thanks to all of you that didn't give up on us :)<br /><br />The summer flew by and somehow we found ourselves busier than ever. The backyard is finally in good condition after several invasions by the city and a days worth of professional tree trimming. Kevin has finished the garage and it looks amazing and has now moved on to painting the house and doing large chores in the backyard. All of this before we can tackle the jobs that <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">need</span> to be finished in the house. We are working towards selling the house. It's not on the market yet and we are going to try to stay here until next spring, but we'll see what the future had in store.<br /><br />Evelyn had a big summer! She started a new gymnastics class (which she loves), went to the library once a week for story time, and found plenty of time to spend hanging out at the pool with Aaron. To wrap it all up, she got to take her first plane ride to Myrtle Beach! We spent a week there in a lovely condo, right on the beach, and had an opportunity to catch up with old friends and family. It was Kevin's first time there and even though he had to leave early, I think that he had a good time. Evie also survived Tropical Storm Hanna, sleeping right through it and not even realizing what was going on. We really did have a blast and hope to go back very soon!<br /><br />Baby Number Two is doing great, growing daily, and moving like crazy! We decided to let this one be a surprise also, so the name discussion and debate carries on. The due date changes frequently, so Kevin and I are saying some time at the beginning of January. Anyway, the kids will be almost exactly 2 years apart and we will have our hands full! Four more months to get as much done as possible :)<br /><br />The pics below are from the trip, I will post more asap and try very hard to keep this going :) Hope you all are doing well!!!<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXiIjzMGODtjEdzbc2-veDKaAiRQl7GJk6RBimseAxroIBf_PB7TBhCmbVu0Nkysn5F6k7d7EpnoyuEznMOYusFw5-sxQ11P6rpLAE0w6CY634dQcHWzQ7wXn8-T-WMgG7FjsU-Q/s1600-h/cimg0406.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248183365189034578" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXiIjzMGODtjEdzbc2-veDKaAiRQl7GJk6RBimseAxroIBf_PB7TBhCmbVu0Nkysn5F6k7d7EpnoyuEznMOYusFw5-sxQ11P6rpLAE0w6CY634dQcHWzQ7wXn8-T-WMgG7FjsU-Q/s320/cimg0406.jpg" border="0" /></a> eating watermelon with a shovel..<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">yummmm</span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv4SM2a34UU7K9Xu6M46-TLJPTyCJANq7H5LQWqJBs_QIINmiCZazYw-n6epYRc5BAJk8O1Ap3NBdco-c8NpBYVfOK26UejFr_hUCqmv7Z6lYfMg7988qUBHmtOHOabdCdhVthxg/s1600-h/cimg0420.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248183372897304322" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv4SM2a34UU7K9Xu6M46-TLJPTyCJANq7H5LQWqJBs_QIINmiCZazYw-n6epYRc5BAJk8O1Ap3NBdco-c8NpBYVfOK26UejFr_hUCqmv7Z6lYfMg7988qUBHmtOHOabdCdhVthxg/s320/cimg0420.jpg" border="0" /></a> this is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">evie's</span> elevator pose<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIqDEjzhecBzf_tVnuEWvJVLJytNb8RGBf462FjmQOg1c7apLHBs2ZjbT9a8_PGsXkniGMUPNipeP7I4CQ5Ozay7WR2_vJZj6Qa4vDXiyPiGR4kA8WZNoUsgKShwmpC39adzyuGg/s1600-h/CIMG0426.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248183375330767154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIqDEjzhecBzf_tVnuEWvJVLJytNb8RGBf462FjmQOg1c7apLHBs2ZjbT9a8_PGsXkniGMUPNipeP7I4CQ5Ozay7WR2_vJZj6Qa4vDXiyPiGR4kA8WZNoUsgKShwmpC39adzyuGg/s320/CIMG0426.JPG" border="0" /></a> checking out the fish at the aquarium<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2QN_63YMCsQoUdX1Z76f1U-Pgv4dkWgAO7IL8S5j422g4cHC9xuqjckgqLcKMeSo2-SUHBhKnMoe5vH0tqvSJ71Y80Pa734jrW7A7xmk7jq5__5PdMV7Y89-_BM1eVV0nnRe9A/s1600-h/CIMG0457.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248183388988435362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA2QN_63YMCsQoUdX1Z76f1U-Pgv4dkWgAO7IL8S5j422g4cHC9xuqjckgqLcKMeSo2-SUHBhKnMoe5vH0tqvSJ71Y80Pa734jrW7A7xmk7jq5__5PdMV7Y89-_BM1eVV0nnRe9A/s320/CIMG0457.JPG" border="0" /></a>the day after the storm<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2XqNK8iL0rlXEOObdagkmt-CL7HBDuqQv4Zw3GcfG5cZzlKjdar2nU-rrT-G0GJtHmiT9adbEkB2kK29pVtXky3_PE-koTAAQ-MWPa6IdOSPFN4ACBehQTxdFqlq64bl4BBwFrA/s1600-h/CIMG0462.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5248183391874818370" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2XqNK8iL0rlXEOObdagkmt-CL7HBDuqQv4Zw3GcfG5cZzlKjdar2nU-rrT-G0GJtHmiT9adbEkB2kK29pVtXky3_PE-koTAAQ-MWPa6IdOSPFN4ACBehQTxdFqlq64bl4BBwFrA/s320/CIMG0462.JPG" border="0" /></a> saying good bye to SC<br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-20955875878812592142008-06-16T16:31:00.000-07:002008-06-16T16:51:13.239-07:00Some Various Picture Updates<div style="text-align: center;"><br />Enjoy some pics of our favorite model.

Evelyn is learning early when and how to plant grass seed. Really, the whole scene was just adorable watching him teach her how to reach in and grab the seed and then throw it into the yard. She is a pro at the grabbing, but the throwing still needs a little work! I'm sure that she will be more than happy to help daddy with yard work from now on!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#33cc00;">On a different note, Kevin and I have been working with Evie on sign language for several months now and she is beginning to pick up on them right and left. She has been using several signs for a long time now, but she is now picking up 1-2 new ones a day. The coolest thing is that she is just beginning to sign new things with no prompting. She has also added quite a few new words to her spoken vocabulary and continues to amaze us every day! Next time you see her wink or ask for a high five and she will be more than happy to oblige!</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#33cc00;">Hope you all are doing well :)</span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEC1jwUnWUwcuEGXTqtMpZyz7uGkC6z9eYaXrh6wkCUk8ZPTBVeacFL4wgJ8IGlBnggHZ1snxjqoVi9usDCXJNlax2MoYzi-synbf1bGiYcO33dI3oiVSojk7g2lQFbgueFS8gNg/s1600-h/CIMG0236.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189507718491921362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEC1jwUnWUwcuEGXTqtMpZyz7uGkC6z9eYaXrh6wkCUk8ZPTBVeacFL4wgJ8IGlBnggHZ1snxjqoVi9usDCXJNlax2MoYzi-synbf1bGiYcO33dI3oiVSojk7g2lQFbgueFS8gNg/s320/CIMG0236.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFF5KTl02FS2mT5GMlKJB_ZvElPejlQjY0KiZoVIIH0AK3S047FNu-n4MbWI0W9kVQ-8xNVDzMLVtEMFnUvlWELDaLR_BaORdMB3GhYb8A6FK9c1dy-HQkFxv3-T2wK6LKDFGHIQ/s1600-h/CIMG0237.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189507731376823266" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFF5KTl02FS2mT5GMlKJB_ZvElPejlQjY0KiZoVIIH0AK3S047FNu-n4MbWI0W9kVQ-8xNVDzMLVtEMFnUvlWELDaLR_BaORdMB3GhYb8A6FK9c1dy-HQkFxv3-T2wK6LKDFGHIQ/s320/CIMG0237.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf1J_Cvck-oHSpOAjNiYxgfiXDWoM7gD5jWTcY95t45xUxjzyAdgGz2xRMrbXawryXbvQ_YtjOpgzmJv4pU47hmDHqSbtIFFRg0ETVt53ngpsel3oNsbd6jd0BBQGxA1xk0Umr4A/s1600-h/CIMG0238.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189507739966757874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf1J_Cvck-oHSpOAjNiYxgfiXDWoM7gD5jWTcY95t45xUxjzyAdgGz2xRMrbXawryXbvQ_YtjOpgzmJv4pU47hmDHqSbtIFFRg0ETVt53ngpsel3oNsbd6jd0BBQGxA1xk0Umr4A/s320/CIMG0238.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixG5FLTPnQukFNeiFSyX0z65DPtc-uFOcfsdmU7qNogiyvs3WIlFSfT0NlPVlcJTWtnpF5jUc_3ZjQevcesQ82jl0mNhGnLmQ8BI1R7l3RSwNn61DLxGTJdOlfQXtThImd8ttEkg/s1600-h/CIMG0240.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5189507748556692482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixG5FLTPnQukFNeiFSyX0z65DPtc-uFOcfsdmU7qNogiyvs3WIlFSfT0NlPVlcJTWtnpF5jUc_3ZjQevcesQ82jl0mNhGnLmQ8BI1R7l3RSwNn61DLxGTJdOlfQXtThImd8ttEkg/s320/CIMG0240.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-23921078224521533472008-03-27T08:33:00.000-07:002008-03-27T08:40:26.886-07:00What a Life!!<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#6666cc;">She's only 15 months old and is ready to tackle the world!

Evelyn woke up with what apparently was a huge case of allergies, thanks to the blooming trees in Tulsa, and was not much in the mood for outdoor play and bunny hopping. So, we improvised and played with her basket and plastic eggs in the house. The front room became the place to collect and sort eggs, in addition to the catch that was being played between mommy and daddy. She seemed to have a good time, if only the Easter Buny could have hopped along with a cure for the runny nose! :) </span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFXVjxDmvktkilNFM1SJdszZErfADvGsvBDUW8wtJ6Lc35XpzeNVl_dyv3I76AXjiNt6deTIyxNnAxltY42WM4h_9DbJKw3KUtH5zZb9qtjKPNz29lwPLI7AfHlj_rBKqc6TFiA/s1600-h/cimg0226.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182443955244740386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuFXVjxDmvktkilNFM1SJdszZErfADvGsvBDUW8wtJ6Lc35XpzeNVl_dyv3I76AXjiNt6deTIyxNnAxltY42WM4h_9DbJKw3KUtH5zZb9qtjKPNz29lwPLI7AfHlj_rBKqc6TFiA/s320/cimg0226.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBr8qKwDjpH_BcQACtuA_RftWSj1GqzSc0BaZvcVlXPSjopO_X0Mt2K_ARwQYMTaSi8D2svOCoZ-B8hLeGN0sP1ORZmKj40oSfkCtrJa8EqAPMvjbPyxbM9y1JmNjbfMHv1bUabA/s1600-h/cimg0222.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182443963834674994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBr8qKwDjpH_BcQACtuA_RftWSj1GqzSc0BaZvcVlXPSjopO_X0Mt2K_ARwQYMTaSi8D2svOCoZ-B8hLeGN0sP1ORZmKj40oSfkCtrJa8EqAPMvjbPyxbM9y1JmNjbfMHv1bUabA/s320/cimg0222.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb9HFnUmQDpjvqZH0UJol4uSjZOgcCezhaatR6wS3rDjr9oCAvWjzjhbad6S10JALOAzuoS6PdbpPIQMi2rXIfO3GltHUney8szMi0ldaYmqf9qhP8D_I2-cYSmzf3bBFCvTCmxA/s1600-h/cimg0221.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182443976719576898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb9HFnUmQDpjvqZH0UJol4uSjZOgcCezhaatR6wS3rDjr9oCAvWjzjhbad6S10JALOAzuoS6PdbpPIQMi2rXIfO3GltHUney8szMi0ldaYmqf9qhP8D_I2-cYSmzf3bBFCvTCmxA/s320/cimg0221.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-89298386372162431762008-03-18T08:39:00.001-07:002008-03-18T08:49:48.847-07:00Barefoot in the Park<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff0000;">Last Friday Janna and I took the kids to Lafortune Park for a little fun in the sun. We brought along the wagon so that Evelyn and Aaron could experience riding together. Each of them have a wagon, but riding together was so much more fun!! It was Evie's first time to the park so she got to ride the swings and play a bit on one of the big toys. She was very apprehensive of the swing at first, but once she saw the old pro, Aaron, giggling and having fun, she began to laugh and really enjoy herself. We could not enjoy the slides because of the standing water from the night before, but walking up and down the ramp seemed to make up for it. We are planning to head back tomorrow, if the weather is nice, so maybe then we can try out the slide! Hope you enjoy the pics! </span></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtUbA0cK00bwKH3DqXmbizqUdU03j48Uq5rKoLFv4JOfLHDqvolCPt5luchKf38zRA1YsU4riz1E4C9y0gqHCyBchbLdebtkAMnMWVaSX19W4_B3zrJr9Yi4CRvhyphenhyphen3fV8dAvNnFQ/s1600-h/CIMG0186.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179107866681368994" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtUbA0cK00bwKH3DqXmbizqUdU03j48Uq5rKoLFv4JOfLHDqvolCPt5luchKf38zRA1YsU4riz1E4C9y0gqHCyBchbLdebtkAMnMWVaSX19W4_B3zrJr9Yi4CRvhyphenhyphen3fV8dAvNnFQ/s320/CIMG0186.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-j1eAJXD1aoP6tY_WAO_MFA4DJEEV-lvc5seM40e9LfW5ZsmN0pMcNYymA23ulD5CkeAWQZLfHq1d4yQq5HmhZvJZF0rrrJyzQWdyvu-sKFy-e-5Srd5vxJYpuje-cUB-6XV2Nw/s1600-h/cimg0192.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179107875271303602" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-j1eAJXD1aoP6tY_WAO_MFA4DJEEV-lvc5seM40e9LfW5ZsmN0pMcNYymA23ulD5CkeAWQZLfHq1d4yQq5HmhZvJZF0rrrJyzQWdyvu-sKFy-e-5Srd5vxJYpuje-cUB-6XV2Nw/s320/cimg0192.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZo4g6IzDHGWIfVe0OLJ6FKlgten_d6FwnKbxE819Hjz5KwDgBhT_d9pQ_51jLYMF_5nI5GDgu0VR0Xxv9RLwKLajJtnNJ3t5MXA9ePRgHtIBD51XOqxP7y_u9urLG2zh98n5qgg/s1600-h/CIMG0198.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179107879566270914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZo4g6IzDHGWIfVe0OLJ6FKlgten_d6FwnKbxE819Hjz5KwDgBhT_d9pQ_51jLYMF_5nI5GDgu0VR0Xxv9RLwKLajJtnNJ3t5MXA9ePRgHtIBD51XOqxP7y_u9urLG2zh98n5qgg/s320/CIMG0198.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDUOqXH9Mz2xUvj5wHG0faeem43o8q5jDGFmB1ebzntE82pn9_a6D9STb5SNX_ocZ86gpPLSDLdpMoRSIs2Bspv5xwJzlpY2acPA_LNmYolG9QZnDyfyaAUzoLokzZ37LUXH9ziA/s1600-h/cimg0193.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5179107888156205522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDUOqXH9Mz2xUvj5wHG0faeem43o8q5jDGFmB1ebzntE82pn9_a6D9STb5SNX_ocZ86gpPLSDLdpMoRSIs2Bspv5xwJzlpY2acPA_LNmYolG9QZnDyfyaAUzoLokzZ37LUXH9ziA/s320/cimg0193.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-11809296828232800172008-03-10T07:48:00.001-07:002008-03-11T07:45:19.088-07:00Who Knew....<div align="center"><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#009900;">That exploring the front yard could be so much fun?!! Sunday was another beautiful day in Tulsa, so we decided to try and spend as much time outside as was possible. After a walk around the fairgrounds, we came home and decided to let Evie explore the front yard. She had a great time looking at and touching everything. She saw a helicopter, put sticks into holes, climbed up the stairs, raced around the driveway, and explored the cars. She just toddles around like a champion now and likes to scoot away from mommy and daddy as quickly as possible:) It's just amazing to watch her do things that I take for granted and enjoy them so much. My favorite part of the exploration was watching her put sticks under the fence for Pete and Sophie and laugh when the were pulled under and disappeared! I hope that you all had a great weekend too and that you enjoy the pics!</span> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176494490750902626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQn6qj9pXOdC2nb8Fw7vTm-Rqj5Uwmc1My0SFjI986aaoAZhxgJ7JjPuxUNwmB-s_q2eIFqGN1x-8ilYkAFtts5w1tTfReAYZGtyJc-drr4E6Ni1Enn1bweg94wk_NwNsz8hDdjw/s320/cimg0174.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176494503635804530" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS524B0OCENu3U7_mIQVAdFDHEn7lRhNNlGMC4qPOit94qITxDAaeFXQbuI84W4FnuD-5VDHDHZu5r9cpNYi5jXh85eDjzoWP8h08lBnYi-t0sitoaAAiBiviMe-KfhdobgU7mXg/s320/cimg0175.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176494516520706434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQXDspg4RwFhGZhc5jS5U1Pgechi3uITjvqLkagrS9vU9xr4KXya9H4ieDpsFGBCdszNP3m9da6HHT5S3-PAj_uzTiMaFgSiseXxq-hz6SMmdH4pG-S9ywxDKl6SPkjvb7qWzy6A/s320/CIMG0183.JPG" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176494533700575634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbCbroZYYf5MoEb3eMHUdpMrlzBYpaIi3RJrpRQW9b86RUTiWN8nhPViaqjINNrK0n3uGAxuX5Y7ND7KGl_dr0CeMfvwfIbsDt8Fo1eg0OIEVNBJ3Rvo3OJYkXfd1S3PFvdlU04g/s320/cimg0185.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176138283343241490" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjc70WeG4Ou9-gfbTJ1olVGYchdLZmF3oDMdirYHyjbmnFHmgNZztbNqbc3YRSlGnGWfVPxHOENLuM8P4YGj9cm3FASGsWizQzhyphenhyphennmI_QVexK_CSbdB1PTA-2cBZvOOoLaeKXQ-VQ/s320/CIMG0171.JPG" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5176136840234229970" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiIckJsIlVlVUi99_SVLFQKC9Bp2GxVcj6p5fyx0jUnfwAIwNhlO9XfcpmrJ-o_HbnVqXz6OL3ywkNB0ab5IBixrxkWgHOgCg-RTSeY95Jya-xM9xU8LNXZRnc7oPSvdKg4cQnSA/s320/cimg0164.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-7692342256967230662008-03-04T07:49:00.000-08:002008-03-04T07:57:26.171-08:00Funnies<div align="center"><span style="color:#3366ff;">Just thought that these were too cute to not post!

Tulsa had some beautiful weather on Saturday and we just had to take advantage of it! We packed up and headed to the Tulsa Zoo for Evelyn's first encounter with wildlife. We spent about 2 hours there and covered quite a bit of ground in that short time. Many of the animals were napping as we visited, but Evie did get a chance to watch a polar bear, a giraffe, the chimpanzees, and even enjoyed seeing a hog (of some sort :) ) Most of all though, she loved watching all of the people and being outside in the fresh air. We will be going back as soon as the weather permits, but for now, we are back in the house, avoiding the freezing temps!

We were getting together and just catching up, but then decided it was high time we did something intellectual! So, we are trying to read one book a week and then get together to chat about it and anything else that may come up. :) We have each chosen a book to read and now it is back to my turn. I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good book that is not too long, but that is reading and conversation worthy. So far, we have read Story of a Shipwrecked Sailor, Glass Castle, and The Unbearable Lightness of Being. Thanks for any ideas you may have! Have a great weekend! </span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05488989948717671123noreply@blogger.com11tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30555410.post-91708684439216784682007-11-08T11:35:00.000-08:002007-11-08T11:54:17.812-08:00Play Date<span style="font-family:verdana;color:#cc33cc;">For the past few <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">weeks</span> Evelyn and I have been visiting some new friends for play dates. Kevin and I met Jana and her husband in our Bradley Method <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">child birthing</span> classes and we managed to stay in touch with them. They have a darling boy, Aaron, who is almost 9 months old. I was finally able to, thanks to TC, capture some of what our experiences are like during these "dates." Just in the last two visits, the kids have really started to play together, crawl together, and enjoy each other's company. I swear they even carried on a conversation today!! It is also a great time for Jana and me to share mommy stories and have some adult conversation! Here are a few of the photos I snapped today. PS...it's hard to capture 2 babies at the same time!! </span><br /> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130556417094474946" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcCxVzbf1qoQkXZUySTCJDGz5xTP_QmgAYn0iE0oA6Klu90RfYpiy4HbOiQ3pJGHSUsjtF1iYHY1HFmMIJ_kNhCmaDx_JKR_vAtQ0Qr6QgxdZr8nuOHGyXivcRVoz-OgAS0EwtTA/s320/hpim1397.jpg" border="0" /> Baby Aaron<br /><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130556425684409554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 317px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="305" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKQkLHmuss8GQbP-fERT7aLz4Y6r-tF_f_JiN-sxk7h72hhxIO0KHpYKY5eHRWSoRtUPwEb5g_fklnZM9ZsfcMBN5inE-PEw5ltIdOUcCigSkdJYWz2impUch-Fc9YJ6EdG9Exmg/s320/hpim1398.jpg" width="240" border="0" /> Jana and Evie<br /></p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dRDjYTH3Cg_pr22GuGmK04f4-2RenTg82ot-F_aQ_DN0c-d_nwM82dBDYFCeacSmVTwUBA8DT9US_DIhTGRb3y9qtAWKLNha05jZRtW9ODv7mSAw-JRuP44VpJkOtZ8Z5PVvaw/s1600-h/HPIM1394.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130556395619638434" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8dRDjYTH3Cg_pr22GuGmK04f4-2RenTg82ot-F_aQ_DN0c-d_nwM82dBDYFCeacSmVTwUBA8DT9US_DIhTGRb3y9qtAWKLNha05jZRtW9ODv7mSAw-JRuP44VpJkOtZ8Z5PVvaw/s320/HPIM1394.JPG" border="0" /></a> The fun begins!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaYBvy06SQIQoY9LrxH8xyX5_VSMSpk-wpwx1CmXedC20xiq1gj-fJxCLJ6gy0DewGQm-Q1VgWTkNkK7S35Hqy6KWgeZNFk15GTwwwLtSyktOtPXP8ZkxhZw7HUQvtMGc1n29I3A/s1600-h/HPIM1395.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130556408504540338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhaYBvy06SQIQoY9LrxH8xyX5_VSMSpk-wpwx1CmXedC20xiq1gj-fJxCLJ6gy0DewGQm-Q1VgWTkNkK7S35Hqy6KWgeZNFk15GTwwwLtSyktOtPXP8ZkxhZw7HUQvtMGc1n29I3A/s320/HPIM1395.JPG" border="0" /></a> We're learning to share! :)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGJXI1CZUGDlZyxAU9pi64MQLZ68HyJ0JEGp35t7ebyKUq61kwOszqnAyjmcl-X3L0DRUo9JFwg9RyFMN8-wHZlhrCgqRg1ElJJNZvbz_9UAG88d4NEGHKGYakzWhQEI0Ib6gztw/s1600-h/HPIM1400.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130556434274344162" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGJXI1CZUGDlZyxAU9pi64MQLZ68HyJ0JEGp35t7ebyKUq61kwOszqnAyjmcl-X3L0DRUo9JFwg9RyFMN8-wHZlhrCgqRg1ElJJNZvbz_9UAG88d4NEGHKGYakzWhQEI0Ib6gztw/s320/HPIM1400.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><p> Sneak attack for his favorite toy!</p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5130556786461662450" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWFnGK1YvygiKo-C2miJX2XH8Ab6dbCOTJDGSllfgXCtQAJm1WkhA-N2wXL3rJo63X1KujTPHaV0Iwh90pNyU7kC9ZF2_l5CcyT1TMaq75DbMZWNgfqYlXOzQbzGG5_zGsPzXnrQ/s320/HPIM1401.JPG" border="0" /></p><p> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Ok</span>, check out the look on Evie's face!!

In a continuation of the last post, I would like to explain that because Evelyn was having a difficult time sleeping and would not nap, we had to, as parents, do something that went completely against the way that we have parented this far and let Evelyn "cry it out" in order to learn how to sleep. It was something that we swore against and never expected we would have to do and it was the most stressful thing we have been through as a family. Because of this, we were unable to tend to many of the things that we had been able to in the past. Thank you to all of you that led me by the hand and assured me that despite what I read, Evie would still love us as parents and still be a happy baby in the end. I will say that each day is getting better and she is now napping much more consistently and sleeping through the night. It might seem, to some, like a small matter to be so upset about, but it was challenging and we have all made it to the other side! </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff6600;">In addition to all of this, Kevin has been very busy at work and at home, building a deck for us in the backyard and taking over the nightly parenting duties because I am working each night until 6:30 or 7. He does such a great job and I have to take the opportunity to mention that he is really the best daddy! </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff6600;">I sat, yesterday, for my certification test to officially become a Reading Specialist in the state of Oklahoma. I should have the results back in a few weeks and hope to be able to call myself a certified Reading Specialist. </span><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#ff6600;">Last, but not least, Evelyn celebrated her first Halloween on Wednesday and had a blast! She went as a flower (that I tried my best to make) and visited several friends and family members around Tulsa. It was our own form of trick-or-treating and she even got her first Halloween goody bag! We ended up at mom and dad's house where we had dinner and were able to enjoy handing out a bit of candy. Overall, it really was the best Halloween that I have had in a long time. Please enjoy some of the pictures from that evening and some of Evie's new talent...clapping!</span><br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5129073192641407666" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px;
