Mommy and Daddy do fun things too!!

Jason went ice fishing (EEEEEEEK....so scary!!!) in Wyoming wit his two best buds from college a couple of weeks ago. He was gone about 4 days. They had such a great time!!! The girls and I missed him so much!! We haven't been away from him for that long before....it was a long 4 days! :) As much as we missed him, we are so thankful and blessed for the wonderful friends he has! Thanks Dan and Josh (and John!!) for being such great friends to Jason....he had a blast!!!


I get to have some fun too!!!! I'm spending this coming weekend in Bricktown with my best friend from college! We have a "girls' weekend" planned, with manicures, massages, movies, great food, and fabulous company!!! I'm really looking forward to it!!!!!

My loves!!!

Snow...Snow....and more Snow!

After a 70 degree weather week, we had a blizzard. Yes, a BLIZZARD! We got about 10 inches of snow, a week later another 6 or so inches.....and a full week off of school! The girls absolutely loved it! Being in Oklahoma, we aren't prepared for much snow....so snow suits aren't necessary. We don't own them. So we had to improvise, layering tights, socks, several pair of pants and shirts, gloves, coats, etc. They didn't get to stay out in the snow very long because their clothes weren't water-proof....but the time they did get in the snow was well spent!

And believe it or not, this week (the week after all of this madness) has been in the 70s again!! Tomorrow is expected to be almost 80 degrees!! Crazy Oklahoma weather!! ;)

Valentine's Day!!!!

Emercyn's class had a Valentine's party at school. So much fun! I signed up to take the party favors....remind me not to do that again! That gets expensive when you are buying for 24 kids! ;) I'll stick to the snack or drinks!!!

Emercyn loved going through her Valentine's from all of her friends, and Harper had a great time watching her!!!

Jason and I got the girls a little gift for the holiday. They both love books, so we thought it was a fitting gift. Emercyn got the newest book in the "Pinkalicious" series (her favorite) called "Silverlicious". Harper got a book about love called "I love you when....".

And of course, Jason and I got to go on our annual Valentine's Day date! We hired a babysitter (thanks Alyssa!!), and went out to eat. We went to On the Border (their avacado live is fantastic). We stopped at Starbucks on our way home and grabbed some yummy coffee!! It was the perfect date!!!!

Batter Up!!!

Emercyn's old enough to play T-Ball this summer, so we decided to sign her up!! You know Jason's excited. :) And guess who her coach will be?!?!?!? You guessed it! JASON! We knew he couldn't stay away from the sport too long! It's in his blood! And let me tell you, Emercyn is SO EXCITED to have her Daddy coach! She is so proud and tells everyone she sees! I just know this is going to be a wonderful experience that they will both cherish for a long time! We asked several of Emercyn's friends from dance, school, and church to join our team. There are 12 kids, and Emercyn knows 10 of them pesonally. That is going to make for a fun season!!

Jason and I decided on the name "The Shockers". This was not an easy decision! We couldn't agree on anything! Emercyn decided "The Princesses" would be fitting. I told her that there were more boys on the team than girls so it wouldn't work. She then she came up with "The Prince Saves the Princess". I personally loved it! But Jason vetoed it quickly!! ;) He asked me to come up with 10 names and he'd choose from the list. So, that's how we came up with our final team name....and we're all happy! The team colors are aqua, silver, and black. And of course, the 4 little girls on the team will have "bling" on their shirts!

The season doesn't begin until late March/early April, but be sure to check back.....there will be pictures and play-by-play of these darling little 4 & 5 year olds!!!

Dallas.....here we come!!!

We took a mini-weekend vacation to visit my sister and her husband in Dallas (they actually live in a town just right outside of Dallas). We had a blast and can't wait to go back!!!

Jason's Aunt Sharon lives in Irving, which was on our way to my sister's, so we asked her to meet us for lunch. We met at the coolest McDonald's. It was shaped like a Happy Meal! Thanks Sharon for meeting us!!! :)

While at my sister's, we visited the Children's Museum. It was lots of fun, with many activities for both girls.

We also went to the American Girl Boutique and Bistro. This place is a MUST for every little girl!! Even this 29 year old girl went nuts!!! It's simply amazing! First, we had lunch in their bistro. They have highchairs and utensils for your dolls. After we ate, we let the girls shop!! Their Great-Grandma Thelma passed away recently, and she left them each a little money....asking them to buy themselves something fun! We decided Grandma Thelma would like it if they bought a doll! I'm sure she had a great time watching them pick out their doll from Heaven!! :) Both girls picked the "Bitty Baby" instead of the bigger dolls. I asked Emercyn why she didn't want the bigger doll, and she said "because the bigger doll would be my friend, but I can be the Mommy to the baby doll". She LOVES to pretend she's the Mommy to her babies, so this doll is perfect! Emercyn named her's Lulu and Harper's is Evie!

My sister and Trevor cooked us some amazing meals while we were there! They were perfect hosts! It was wonderful to spend that time with my sister!!! And the girls really enjoyed bonding with their Uncle T! They sure love him!! We are looking forward to our next visit!!!!
