Thank you!

Hey just wanted to say thanks to everyone who is praying for us. As most of you know my grandpa has been sick for a while and today they went a head and took him off the life support. Please continue to keep us in your prayers and hopefully we will have a safe trip back home at the end of the week!

Post of the week

I haven't done my post of the week so I figured I would today. Josh is really loving school. His best friend is in his class again this year so that was a plus. Elijah on the other hand is having such a hard time with Josh being away. He cries every morning when we drop Josh off and through out the day he asks where Josh is about a 100 times! I feel so bad for him:(
And Eric is back at work this week:) so I am trying to catch up on all my house work. He makes me so lazy when he's at home.
Oh and by the way I'm sure you guys have noticed my little count down on the side. I've been working really hard and now I'm up to about 2 miles with out having to stop. I've been struggling with some leg pain which I'm sure is just soreness or lack of stretching. Hopefully nothing major! I can't believe I use to run 5 miles every morning!! If only I was in shape like that again...




Just a quick pic of Elijah being silly outside!

No more training wheels!

Josh finally figured out how to ride his bike with out training wheels!!!! We tried earlier this year but he said he just wasn't ready. I finally told him that if he would learn how to ride w/out training wheels that we would get him a new bike. So he was all for it! Yes I bribed him.... It worked though and now he won't slow down. I tried to get a few pics of him and they're a bit blurry but like I said he was going pretty fast.

Back 2 School

Pics of Joshua on his first day of school. He's a big second grader now!

Crazy Busy Day

Okay so this is a very long post! I had so many pictures to upload it was crazy! My sweets is on vacation this week so we figured we would take the boys out and just fill their day with fun. Or like Joshua says " Its family fun day" We started our morning with the zoo and I have to admit it was actually nice because the sun wasn't out and it wasn't 110 degrees outside. We picked a great day to go.





My three sweets!
Silly monkeys

Oh this was the best part. The kids just loved feeding the birds. Which is a little funny to me because at home nobody ever wants to feed them. We have to little parakeets named Lo lo and La la and I always get to pick up after them. Yay for me!

And here is our friend Narius. That probably isn't his name, but Elijah was watching animal planet one day and they were talking about a sea lion named Narius so now he just assumes that they are all called Narius.

After the zoo we thought we would check out that Tulsa air and space museum. It was pretty neat to check out the planes and the kids got to play the different simulator games that they had. Josh was a good pilot, but Elijah... not so much. He crashed his plane into a tree!

Eric is showing Josh how to play the game....
A few minutes later he is still playing and the kids are gone. Hey honey good job keeping an eye on the boys!

After the museum we ate lunch at our favorite restaurant. CHEDDARS!!!!

We finished our "Family fun day" with a movie. We saw Iron man and it was really good!

So that was our Crazy Busy Day:) Now it's time for school tomorrow.... I'm sure I'll post pics of that too. It just wont be a long post like this:) THE END

This one's for you Stacy!

As soon as I came home Elijah saw the boots and loved them! Thanks so much for them Stacy!!!
