Walkers' Trail

Kyle Douglass is now 7!  It was a great day! He wanted a nerf gun and OKC Thunder party. Here's the cake!   Breakfast for my sweet one...   Both of them are so sleepy at 7:00!!!!  Grant loves his little bro so much.   Party decorations.   Class party in the special chair.  I made Star Wars cupcakes.   Kyle reading to his class (more on the next entry about this)   Party time!  After everyone got here, we shot baskets for a while before loading up in the truck and going to the lot (it's gotta be useful for something now, right?!).  We started playing Capture the Flag but it quickly became too cold and we went back to our house.    Every friend got a pair of sunglasses (eye protection for nerf darts!) and a camo bag (thanks, GG) to keep their collection of extra darts in while running.   This is the group minus Mr. Sam who had to leave before presents....

Secret's out! Jason is now a Budweiser commercial star!

The big boys have been taking turns having great bonding moments with Reid.  For the past few weeks, its been Grant who has been kissing him before bed and playing cars with him. This week, its been Kyle.  They've read nighttime books, dressed in similar sweaters for church, played at the Wondertorium well together, and then cuddled in our bed.   At a field trip for Grant... with a few boys from his class.   The four of us went to the Wondertorium for MLK day.  We each had a lot of fun - more so than what I expected, especially from the big boys, as they didn't last time we went.  This time, each was creative!   I made Star Wars pancakes for lunch with our new molds.   And this has become an extremely common site - all three rough-housing together, either in the playroom or the den.  A few tears here and there, but overall, they're all having a blast.  

 Jason and I had a joint date night with two other couples! We went to dinner, then to an Irish pub, and then while the others went home, we went to top off the evening with a glass of wine for Jason.  Here's our picture wishing our friends had come with us! These two were caught cuddling in front of Barney instead of getting ready for bed.  It was cute.  Our two little blondies.   Sad day.  Our friends, the Killians, moved.  He was offered a job on Christmas eve and they were gone on the 8th. It happened pretty quickly, but we wish them a lot of happiness in their new venture (Director of Family Camp - sounds fun!).  Another friend had a going away playdate for/with them.   Daniel Gaddis - Kyle's buddy for about 5 years!  We met them at library storytime.   Miss Lainey and G and Jackson.  The two of them were best friends so I feel extra sorry for L and J! Mr. Cutie Patootie heading for sc...

GG's birthday is today but we celebrated a few days early.  Dinner without the kids with Wes and Anne, and then I made her favorite - German chocolate cake and put a lot of candles on it!      movie time with Bubba  

We have some great friends on Edmond! I hitched a ride to Edmond with my mom who was going to see Granny, and I got to spend a few hours with my longtime besties! We have a lot of little kids!!! My life wouldn't be the same without Emily and Erryn!      Family movie afternoon - The Little Mermaid It was all. I. could. do. to get these boys to sit down "for the girly show" and guess who actually laughed several times throughout the movie?!?!  Yes, they did.  I fast forwarded a few of the songs so they would stay more attentive.    Grant and J have some cozy time on the couch.   My cuddlebug!
