Pictures From Oklahoma

Trip to Botanical Gardens

As you can see, I'm still trying to figure out the new camera, but thought I'd share these anyway! I know the one of Levi is blurry, but that just shows how BUSY he is! And Lila too! Enjoy!

Friday Fun with my new Camera

My princess

I have SO much to learn about this new camera, but here's one shot for you to enjoy. This is Addi before school this morning! I would put up pictures of Levi and Lila, but they have been less than cooperative....Lila HATES having her picture made, but she's going to have to get over it! I want to post pictures of her new, stylish haircut! Enjoy this one for now!

Levi could be Edward Cullen

Okay, for those of you who haven't been "sucked in" to the Twilight series, or you live in a cave, you may not know who Edward Cullen is. Well, if you don't know, he's the main Vampire featured in the Twilight series (I've read the first book and Rachel and I saw the movie Sunday night- I would recommend both!). ANYWAY....Don't think I've lost my mind, but there are several ways that Levi is like Edward...

1. He shows his teeth and growls at me when he's angry.
2. He's VERY sensitive to smell.
3. He's pasty white.
4. He's cold to the touch most of the time.
5. His physical appearance is flawless. He is beautiful.
6. The thought, sight, or smell of blood makes him gag, so I guess that cancels out #s 1-5......

Oh So Excited!!

Okay, I shouldn't be this excited over something so materialistic, but I am! My brand new Nikon d60 will be arriving at my front door sometime tomorrow! (Barring any unforeseen interference dealing with UPS delivery!) SO....you will definitely be seeing more pictures on this blog!! I'm so excited!! I have never had a really nice camera before. Actually, I think this is the most expensive thing (besides our home and vehicles) that I've purchased for myself. Thank you, Paul!!

Happy Birthday, Paul!

Happy birthday to the love of my life! Paul turns 34 today...just another year closer to 40....just kidding, Paul! We are going on an overnight date tonight for his birthday. We are staying somewhere here in town and Jasmine is coming to spend the night with the kiddos. Thanks, Jazz!

Time for a Change

Just trying out a new template...time for a change. Let me know what you think! I'm also adding Twitter to my sidebar...maybe I can handle daily little one-liners better than I do my blog posts!!

Wow- he's four!!

I can hardly believe that my little man is turning four today!! Four seems like such a big number!! I can remember very vividly sitting in a little holding room, getting ready to go back for my c-section with Levi, watching W. be sworn in for his second term. I looked to Paul and said, "You know the next time we swear in a new president, Levi will be four years old!" In my mind, that seemed so far away...and now here we are!!
Levi is such a blessing to me. He is also a challenge, but the blessings far outweigh the challenges!! He has been so loving the past couple of days. I love how he gets so excited over the smallest little things. He is very smart, but will rarely try anything until he knows he can do it perfectly! He is getting to be quite the little bicycle rider, already learning to ride while standing up! He's also quite the ladies' man, having two or three girlfriends at this point! We're definitely going to have to keep our eyes on him!
He loves his sisters. He gets mad at Paul and I when Addi is in trouble. He's constantly telling me what Lila needs (what ever would I do without Levi to guide my path?). :)
He just adds so much life to our family and our home. I love him so much! I can't imagine life without him!
Happy Birthday, Levi!!!
Oh yeah, I'll try to do a little catchup on everything I've missed lately, but there's just so much I'm not sure where to start. I'm sure Addi's going to give me a hard time because I did miss her birthday...bad mommy. I've just kind of been in a funk and not really in the blogging mood. Maybe this will help me get back with it!

I know, I know!

I'm working on a new post....it might take a while since it's been SOOOOO long....(this post is for Rachel).
