Evolution of the Swimsuits
Modest is Hottest! :) This lady shows the history of a swimsuit as she is launching a new line. All arguments against this can be negated by this point: "be seen as a person to connect with instead of an object to be used." 5 minute mark starts interesting facts.
Fair Hills pre-partaay!
Some could wonder "why would they drive 14 hours to go back to the same place to vacation each summer?" This is just a teensy piece of why... It's so fun! Doug's family and Greg's family started out in 1980 as neighbors, each with 2 kids, a boy and a girl. Greg's then added another little gal. Those 5 kids grew up together in the same church, started their own families, and we're all still friends! One of the "other" kids is also local and they decided to have a Fair Hills party for the entire bunch. It was the first time in, dare I say at least a decade, that nearly everyone has been together. Here is the group, minus Robin who is the photographer, and a few of the Pinter boys. There are 28 in the group. The kids loved the hot tub time! My big kid loved swinging in the hammock! He now has his own in our backyard that we set up for Father's Day! Tom and Robin found this 20' by 100' tar...
Braves
I gotta say... I love baseball season. It may appear to drag on for 3 months, but it is truly so FUN! Especially when you win. Every game. 15-0. That's fun. Coach Honey Love and Grant (I sure hope he doesn't really go by that name but it's my blog so why not be all silly willy if I can?!?) Love you both so much! I have learned that you can get little boys to smile if you promise they get to take a goofy picture at the end! Not shown here is a picture of Reid in his stroller. He attended and sat through 25 baseball / t-ball games this spring. Kuddos, Reid, for being a great brother! :)
Mid June pictures
Funny enough, these pictures are all within a week old - we have been doing a lot to keep busy so far this summer! Jason FINALLY got "his" basketball goal that he has been dreaming of for years. It is also our go-to now when tornadoes come to town because there is 1200 pounds of concrete holding the goal down. (not really our safe room as we have a tornado room but this thing is sturdy). We figured we have 16 more years of boys living at this house with us at a minimum and didn't want one to fall over in our OK winds. Here are Grant and Kyle in the massive hole! Fridaway. Yummy cheese sticks! Bro time on the driveway. We have had several kindergarten/first grade boy playdates, too. This one was with Mez - the entire dining room was turned in to a huge fort (and 4 days later, it still looks exactly like this - who really cares, anyways?!?!). How's this picture for a kicker in the middle of the blog? This "little...
Blow me away!
Our great state has been blown away this tornado season. May 20 and May 31 both brought record-breaking disasters to extended metro area. On the 31st, my parents and I were at the OKC airport getting ready to fly to visit my grandmother. We really tried to get on the 6:30 flight instead of the 8:30 to beat the bad weather.... at 6:15 the announcement came that everyone must go to the tunnels below the airport. We did. Along with 2,000 other people. It was fine for a while. And then the power went out. As well as the air conditioners! :) The staff brought bottled water to elderly and kids, and then finally to everyone. Truthfully, I was never scared as it was the safest place to be! However, the not knowing about what was happening outside was the worst as we didn't get cell reception. Funny story: the guy in the lower right corner is actually friends with my Aunt Kelly and Uncle Tony, and my Uncle Jay f...
