Walking to the creek by our house 5-5-08

Like I said in my last post, we are really enjoying the weather! The kids and I took a walk & we made necklaces out of flowers.(does anyone remember doing this?) I also made Izzy one but in order for her not to eat it I had to make a crown! Kami loved it on her! Michael also found an alligator snapping turtle and we now have a new pet! (An outside on the front porch pet!) I'm not much for turtles but it is a cute little thing!

Our trip to the park

On Wednesday of lastweek me & the kiddos took a trip to the nearest park. Michael loves to search for crawdads in the creek & Kami tries to do anything & everything to impress big brother so she also braved the creek. They did not end up finding any crawdads but they did find some clay under a rock in the creek & they thought that was just too cool. Neither of them had any idea that you could find it in the ground! Izzy & I just sat on the bank & watched them explore. I have forgotten how nice it is to be outside when the weather is so beautiful!

Michael's Race 5-4-08

Michael raced in Tulsa this past Sunday afternoon and had an awesome day! He usually does pretty well but this week he lead both of his races by over half a lap! I am such a competitive person so it is so much fun to watch him do well. He is so humble and it is neat to watch his reaction (or lack there of) when he wins a race. He comes off of the track with no facial expression what so ever and when he gets out of his car he goes straight to the other boys that he was racing against and shakes their hands and tells them good job. So sweet.
Then off they all go to ride scooters, bikes and catch whatever reptile they can get their hands on until it is time to race again. We really do have a great time out there. I will say that having a 6 month old on your hip changes everything! Gone are the days of sitting on the bleachers and soaking in the rays. Now I find the best shade I can!! Anyway...hope you enjoy!

A Real Tea Party!!

Last spring, my Mom, Kamrynn, & I were invited to a tea party at an old historic building in downtown Tulsa. Everyone was supposed to dress semi-formal and we would have a light brunch & a tour of the building. (as you can see, I was not too dressed up! I was pregnate with Isabell and was in no mood to wear a dress!) I had never been to a tea party so I was not too sure what to expect but it ended up being a lot of fun! Kamrynn ran around with all the little girls that were their and she also enjoyed drinking her warm tea like all of the adults! The cups they had for the girls were adorable, so tiny!

Kamrynn & Isabell

My girls! We have a lot going on right now in our family so the best individual pictures I could take of them seem to be buckled in the car! We were on our way to the firestation to visit daddy so they were definately in their best mood!
I said that we have a lot going on right now...we are currently looking for a bigger house! I am very excited b/c I am tired of being cramped however I know that this is going to be a huge undertaking considering we now have three children! (the last time we moved we only had one!) So please pray for us as we are looking. We do not want to rush into anything but we also want to sell our house quickly!

The Munchkins

Here are some random pix of my kiddos. I can't believe how much they have grown!

San Antonio Seaworld

These pictures just don't do the trip justice! I would recommend seaworld to everyone! The tickets were pretty expensive but it was well worth it!! Little story about the dolphin pool where the kids can "pet" them. They don't really come close enough for the kids to touch, however, Michael, being the bright young man that I have raised, knows that dolphins communicate in high pitched noises so he got the plastic straw that was in his cup and leaned over into the water and blew it under water. Every one of the dolphins in the pool swam straight to him and stuck their noses out for him to touch! It was one of the neatest things that I have ever seen!! The seaworld employees however did not think it was so neat. It was quickly announced not to put any plastic objects into the pool! (it was well worth it!)
