goofy faces

These are a few of the pics Bob took of Andrew a few weeks ago-they crack me up!

Shingles, skateboards & worms.....

Whew! It's been an interesting couple of weeks-Andrew had his first haircut on the 13th with Richa. He did so well-kept twisting his head around to see the razor, and somehow Richa managed to not cut off an ear & give him a great 1st haircut (still looks the same, just without some of the crazy long hairs;). Danny got out his old skateboard & showed me some of his moves from 'back in the day'....I'm certain it's something Andrew will want to take up *sigh* I forsee lots of scraped knees in our future! And to top everything off, Danny ended up with shingles! His medicine seems to be working-the pain isn't too bad anymore & thankfully the rash we saw on Andrew wasn't chickenpox! I felt like a complete idiot today-we went to Tulsa so that I could shop at the Just Between Friends sale, Danny could meet the guys & Mary Ellen & Bob would watch Andrew.....danny gets me to the Expo Center....and we're the only car! I got the dates right, but the sale is in August! This is what sleep deprivation will do to a person;) At least everyone had a good time & I found some shoes & shorts, so all was not lost! We came home w/a worm for Andrew (not a gross kind) but a rocking worm! Andrew loves it, although his dismount needs some work! Oh! Andrew also started sitting up on his own this week-looked up from the computer on Wednesday & he was sitting in his playpen (he'd fallen over from when I first put him in)....now he acts as if he's been doing it for years!

Ahh....Stillwater

So, once again, Stillwater has ruined my favorite holiday! Fireworks were 'postponed' until Labor Day-this is the 3rd year out of the last 4 this has happened...all because the city won't just tell people they can't park on the grass. I figure that if 20,000 people come in for a football game & everthing works out in the neighborhood streets w/parking, they could do the same thing for fireworks! Anyway, we did have a great time w/everyone coming over (even w/the rain)! Pam & Jerry even made it from Wichita Falls! I got a chance to see "Eclipse" with Andrine on saturday (Momma & Daddy were in town & watched Andrew)....can't wait for "breaking dawn"! Since I took Friday off, I also got a lot of things done at the house-namely hanging some pictures & stuff in the office-put in a few plants in the front flower beds too! Now I at least feel the house is somewhat finished-doesn't look quite so 'we just moved in';) Of course, we also got some pics of Andrew (Bob has the best ones of Andrew's facial gymnastics-have to post when we get the CD) while he was playing today....

Swim Class

Earlier this month, Andrew had swim classes at the city pool-he was the youngest one there (all the other babies in the class could walk)...he had a great time splashing around! He wasn't too keen on floating on his back, but didn't fuss too much. They only let us take pictures one day-and of course it was the day that Danny was in Dallas! Fortunately, Sarah came to the rescue & took tons of pics-I'll only include the couple I've managed to crop myself out of though;)

So this has been the driveway's progression-lots of mud for the last month, but last week everything dried out & they were able to pour the driveway & sidewalk. The best thing? I picked Andrew up from daycare & the guys helped me put his footprints in the concrete before it set up-one man's wife was nice enough to write Andrew's name & the year too!

Our Monster:)

So, we're finally in the new house and slowly getting things unpacked! Andrew has been taking full advantage of the carpets-soldier crawling everywhere! He's also gotten over any camera shyness-he now recognizes our cameras & just smiles (or attempts to pull it out of our hands)! This weekend we took a short break & went to Guthrie (unsuccessfully) hoping to find new treasures for the house at one of the antique malls. It ended up being a little hot out-so Andrew & Danny stayed in the car to cool off for a while-which Andrew thought was fantastic. The car is his new favorite hangout! We've also got good news on the driveway-finally got it poured last week & we can drive on it by Thursday! Part of the sidewalk is finished, but the rest has to wait until the city inspector approves everything-at least most of it will be cleaned up by this weekend for our guests!

Congrats!

Heard some big news recently.....cousin Leah (& Kirk) are expecting their 2nd little one! Baby Horton is due November 24th....so I told Leah to cross her legs, so he (that's just what I've decided they're having;) & I can share a birthday! I'm so excited for them-Holland gets to be the 'big sister' & I have no doubt that she'll make sure her new sibling toes the line...and looks fabulous all the while;)

Fun pics

After giving Andrew a bath the other day....he sort of had a mohawk, ok, maybe I gave him the mohawk...anyway, he went to daycare with it & was super fantastic (my words, he said he was just 'cool' ;))....and on Sunday he fell asleep sitting up w/Danny..strange how similar Andrew looks to certain members of my family (nameless to protect identities) that fall asleep watching football games on Thanksgiving!

Mother's Day

I had a terrific 1st Mother's Day! Danny made pancakes Sunday morning & took care of Andrew for a while so I could sleep in...I also got a locket from Andrew-now I just have to decide on pictures! When I picked Andrew up from daycare friday, he had a flower & card for me:)....We got to see Bob & Mary Ellen Saturday (in Tulsa) for a wonderful late lunch & family pictures!

J-me's Birthday

Since I'm so behind, all of this is out of order...oh well! Kerri fled the ickiness that is Utah to come down to God's country (no, not STW...TEXAS) to celebrate J-me's birthday...however, she flew into OKC so that she could see Andrew before we went down to Dallas. This was the first time they got to meet in person (in the belly doesn't count!). It was great b/c we were all out to dinner that Thursday night (April 22nd) when we discovered that Andrew's 1st tooth came in! She & Andrew hung out while we were at work....well, Andrew hung out while Aunt Kerri catered to his every whim;) I was so happy to see them together!

We got to Dallas on Friday & got to spend time w/J-me & Ethan....after he got over his shyness around 'the ladies'...he was all about the entertainment! He gave us money (and a show;)! We left the boys to their own devices on Saturday & headed for the outlet malls! We had a wonderful time visiting & having girl time...Andrew & Holland got lots of presents! It was a perfect day, even when we discovered J-me's key was MIA! Jason & Ethan came to our rescue (unlike the security guard & police officers J-me ran down...and that's literally ran down!)...much to our delight, while we waited for rescue...who else but Elise walked by! She's a friend of J-me's that Kerri & I met because we were all members of the wedding party (j-me & jason's that is!) We decided the missing key was fate so that we could see old friends! Kerri was happy b/c it meant she got to spend more time in the sun;)

All in all, it was a great weekend (my once a year french toast..yum) and the best friends, ever! I only wish we could live closer together-I'm just going to have to convince Doc to build in TX;)
