There is No Place Like...

...Kansas!! We went to Kansas to see Michael's parents, Mike and Patty. We took the kids up to Garden City to visit the zoo and let me tell you... they have kangaroos, camels, and some other interesting animals that the Oklahoma City Zoo does not have... we had a great time!! We also went to visit Dorothy's House but it was closed, so we played on the park. When we go back we will be sure to take lots of picture's so that you all can see "the Wizard of Oz".

here are the double humped camels...
this animal didn't even look real!

if you know my children,you know they LOVE Peter Paker...

Are You Ready...

...for some Football?? We took Brayden,Carsen Elise, and Walker James to the Oklahoma State vs. Grambling game... It was a great game and the band was soo fun to watch! It was a tribute to the one and only Michael Jackson!!

Brayden wants to do this for the next game...

The Grambling Band doing their Half Time Show... you had to be there!!

Walker James playing the OSU bracelets!

Rain Drops Keep Falling...

...on my head, they keep falling!! So, what do you do when your kids are really wanting to play outside and you have to keep telling them that we cannot? We bring it inside!!

Carsen Elise and Brayden doing what they LOVE to do, roller blade!!

Walker James crawling all over the place...

...and now he is asleep!

My Girl...

...talkin' about my girl!! oooohhhh, how we love her! Carsen Elise... she is one crazy girl, but so full of love!! She is our only girl in the family and she is spoiled by all!! She is three going on 16 and is one funny little gal!!

The Boys Are Back...

...the boys are back!! Highschool Musical is big at the Grande house so if you don't know this song, you need to see the third movie!! Anyway, I thought you would like to see 'the boys' in our house! They are the light of my life and I cannot believe that only six years ago, almost, Michael and I were married, four and half years ago we were blessed by meeting Brayden Riley and then four years later we were blessed by our Walker James!

Over the River...

...and through the woods to the Grande's house we go!! I know that it should say to Grandmother's house we go, but we have my grandmother at our house!! In August she moved in with us, call us crazy! Michael and I felt that with me being at home and our extra bedroom, she should come down and be surrounded by family all the time!! She gets more than she wants, but I know she loves it!!

I thought I would be...

...better at this new world of blogging, but I am not. I do have full intentions of posting pictures and making this blog a lot more fun to read and see, but when I do post the pictures you will see why I have had zero time to devote myself to our blog! I will try, I don't want to promise anything as I may not be able to, but I will try to do a new post once a week, whether is just writing or sharing pictures, I will do my best to keep you informed of our growing family!!
PS, thank you Erryn for showing me how to change the background on the blog so that I can 'spoof' it up and make it look cute, even though there are zero pictures right now!! :)
