Five years ago today we lost my grandmother Billie Jo.She had the best laugh in the world (luckily Drake inherited her laugh) and was the most incredible cook. I still miss her everyday and am thankful that I was able to have 24 years with her.
Love you Billie Jo!
Happy Birthday David! You are my very best friend, a wonderful husband, and an incredible father. Drake and I are so blessed to have you in our lives.
I love you!
This Christmas was so much fun because Drake actually knew what to do with his presents and the look on his face when he opened them was priceless. I finally understand why everyone says that Christmas is so much more special when you have little ones.
We traveled up to Oklahoma to see David's family this year. Our first stop was Edmond, we arrived on Wednesday evening and awoke on Thursday to find the beginnings of a blizzard. Yes, I said a blizzard, in Oklahoma. The winds were blowing 50 mph and the snow was coming down like crazy. By the next morning, there were 14 inches of snow in Edmond, which delayed our trip to Tulsa for another day (who got about 9 inches).
We finally were able to make it to Tulsa on Saturday and Drake was baptized on Sunday in the same church where David and I were married so that was a pretty special way to wrap up our weekend.
Drake has a blast with his Pops and Za Za, Uncle Cole and Aunt Sissy in Edmond and with his Mimo and Dado in Tulsa. Thank you all for the wonderful gifts, you did too much again this year (as usual).
A few weeks before Christmas, we met up with our friends, the Blacks (Betsy, Jared, William and Henry who is set to make his appearance any day now) at Bass Pro Shops so that the boys could meet Santa. I still need to scan and load Drake's picture from that but he did great!!
I only took a few pictures-this always seems to happen when we're with people who we enjoy being with, because we are having such a blast that we forget about the camera!
Here David with Drake at the North Pole :)
Back in November (I know, I know...I've been terrible at keeping up lately) I took Drake to his first slumber party. David's little brother Cole and a few of his friends came down for Cole's 16th birthday weekend so Drake and I took the opportunity to go and visit Betsy, Jared, and adorable William (Drake's BFF). The boys had a great time playing together and I had a fantastic time with Betsy, Maranie, and Jared.
Betsy, thank you so much for letting me stay and for taking pictures of our adorable boys!
