DROVER MOM TO BE ???????

ZACHARY had a BLAST!!!!

He got to stay in the Lawson Apartments on Campus~Since we had snow yesterday, attendance was low for the retreat and he got to share this huge apartment with one other guy.

So studious~ USAO mascot is the DROVER~hard working farmer~

They were doing Improv skits and Zach got pulled on stage~ it was so funny he had to pretend to be Hulk Hogan I was trying to quietly take the picture so no one else noticed :)

The campus is hidden away in this small town and I just love it!! OU seems so huge to me and I think it would be easier (for me)~but of course it is his decision and he will go where he wants or best offer teehee!

Lawson Apartments where my baby stayed the night!

We are truly blessed

Mom, Dad, Max and Logan had a wonderful time at the pool and hot tub it was nice for a weekend getaway.

Today we are back in town and as I type Zach is taking his driver's test!!!!! No wonder I have high blood pressure~ I feel like a whirlwind of changes are happening to all of us~ they are wonderful and I will enjoy the ride ~such a beautiful RIDE :)

we are so very proud of Zachary

Today we are packing~ um, we have been invited to tour USAO (University Science and Arts of Oklahoma)~Zach gets to tour the campus, have dinner with the Professors and Administrators. Then he gets to stay in the dorm with other college students for the night and in the morning have breakfast with the President, then talk with financial advisors. They are also putting the rest of us up at the Holiday Inn for the night~ the little guys are excited about the indoor pool. I am so excited and nervous.

This is a school Zach is very interested in, as he wants to be a Chemical Engineer and they have a great Science Department. I love it because it is smaller than OU and for the first few years I think it would be good for both of us :) I can't believe he will be a Senior next year, I can't believe I am touring colleges with my son~ I am such a proud momma~today and everyday~

Baby Shower

I had a wonderful time at my baby shower yesterday! My friends and family totally rock.  One of the most surprising gift of all came from Nana McKee.  Lyn, Dad, Michaela, and Abigail found one of her almost completed baby shawls.  Michaela finished it and knitted a hat to match (which I will post pictures of later).  The gift brought me to tears.  You can see that awkward photo below, but what a special present.  I received so many wonderful presents and more importantly, I was surrounded by so many people I love, along with so many well wishes from those who could not make it.  It was an amazing day to say the least.

I am so excited for baby Aurora to get here.  I am now in the throes of nesting and getting things ready for her arrival.  Thank goodness for spring break.

Violet and Lyla before their Chuckie Cheese adventure. Violet is munching on celery - she likes the Wonder Pets and is the only reason she would touch celery!










The picture below is of my cousin Tracie and her adorable family.

This my neighbor Lori. We are 5 days apart.

holding the ear

Logan does this funny thing I just want to document (for when he gets older ha)

When he has a drink he wants to sip it and hold someones EAR~ Anyone in the family will do but it must be an ear. I think it is our little time together like when he was breast feeding but he can hold on to any ones ear.

He sometimes sneaks up on me slowly sliding his hand to my ear. It is the funniest thing I am going to try and get pictures of him holding the other boys ears but it drives them nuts!!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes~ I am definitely older as this year I spent my birthday worrying about my health. I am waiting patiently by the phone for any news of the blood results, I may be having blood pressure problems or thyroid problems. I have no idea~ but praying that with test results I get some answers.

Happy Birthday, Michaela

I thought a pretty pictures of some flowers would do this post some justice.  I wanted to wish my beautiful, loving sister a very happy birthday! I hope you have a perfect day and I love you.

almost a year since I last saw your face

This is a picture of a picture I have in my room~ I see her every day ~but in the hustle and bustle of our lives lately~ I just realized at the end of March would have been the last time I saw Brie and it makes me sad~ I miss you today lil sister~
