A Day at the Museum

Last Thursday, I decided that I needed a day off of work, and since Chris was home, we decided to take Jayden to the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of History. We have been meaning to go ever since we moved to Norman, but just haven't gotten around to it. We had a great time! Here are some pictures from our adventure!

If you ever have a chance to go to this museum, I would recommend it...there was a lot of stuff to see, and it kept a three year old entertained. It is very inexpensive ($5 for adults, kids 5 and under are free), and it is a great summertime activity to get out of the heat!

It's Been Three Months...

...since my last blog post, and I'm sorry. Life has been even more crazy than usual over the last three months, and my time has been wrapped up in my family.

What have we been doing the last three months? Well....let's see. Chris and I are another year older, as is my dad. Jayden has still been going to gymnastics and is loving it. We saw my sister for the first time in a year. Chris taught his first adult class at church-it was a singing class and was wonderful! Chris also finished his semester at OU, and made all A's and B's....something he id not think was possible. (I am SO proud of him!) Tornadoes hit my Nana's neighborhood/house and my parents house. They both got new roofs. Chris got Lasik on his eyes and is doing great and can see great! Chris has been working in Arkansas as a roughneck on a drilling rig. He works seven days on and seven days off. He works a total of 88 hours in seven days. This has left Jayden and I by ourselves for much of the summer...we are surviving though! I have a bottle tan and have become a bottle redhead, and my hair is getting long. I have also lost 28 pounds! My parents have lost almost 50 pounds each!!! Chris and I celebrated his birthday and our 5th anniversary in Dallas. We went to see Wicked while there. Jayden and I went with Nonni to Arkansas to see Chris and Papa John at the Lee's new house. We were there for four days and then went on to Sikeston, Missouri to see the rest of Chris' family. We had a wonderful vacation and Jayden got to meet a part of his family that he had never met before. There is a ton more that we have done, but these were the high points!

Enjoy some pictures from our last three months! I'm going to try to post more frequently again, but ya know...life happens, so I can't promise anything!

Mmmmm...the yummy Crimson and Cream cake from Sooner Legends for me and my dad's bday!

The patio set that I used my bday money on! I love it!!!

Back around the first part of January, we all went to an OKC Thunder game (us, the Lees, and the O'Donnells). We had a great time! We went out for dinner before hand, walked in the freezing cold to get to the game, and then had a wonderful time during the game! We played the Indiana Pacers, and won! It really came down to the wire though, and for a while, it didn't look like we were going to pull it out. It was a great game though, and a lot of fun for all of us!

Just a random pic during the game.

Jayden was so excited to be at the game!

Nana and Papa

Rumble-the Thunder mascot. Jayden loved him!

Just another pic.

We also attended the OU Women's game last Saturday. My parents are season ticket holders, so they go to tons of games, but this was the first one that we made it too this season. We played Kansas, and won! Jayden had a blast!

Jayden's favorite part of the game! This is either Boomer or Sooner (not sure which), and he was playing on the stairs right next to Jayden.

Jayden was so excited!

He got to give him a high-five!

See? We did actually watch the game! We didn't just watch the mascot! :)

Sorry this is so blurry, but I love this pic! Jayden wanted to sit on Grana's lap with his Sooner stuffed animal that he got at the game. He was really into watching the girls play!

Well...that's all for now. We are bracing for a pretty serious ice storm, so I had better get around because they are predicting that we will be losing electricity. :(
