Me and Carrie finally wised up and rather than one of us trying to take all 4 girls, which equals mass chaos, we decided to just swap one kid. It's much less crazy and each girl gets one on one time with the their friend. They look so sweet!!

Sprouts!
Thursday, August 24, 2012
This is some of my beautiful bounty I bought at Sprouts yesterday. We try to eat as much organic produce as we can and grassed and wild meats but we are very limited here in Duncan. Sprouts sales run Wednesday to Wednesday so if you go on Wednesday you can shop two weeks worth of sales. I am going to start trying to go twice a month and stocking up on things. My cart was literally overflowing with yummy organic produce! And it's not much more expensive than what I pay at Walmart. Love it!

First Day of Kindergarten and 2nd Grade!
Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Today was the girls first day back to school! They were both really excited. They both have good friends in their classes and their teachers seem really nice. Mackenzie was a little apprehensive being at a new school with so many bigger kids but she did great. They both said they had a good day and were excited to go back. That's always a good thing! I can't believe my girls are so big.

The Leper
Tuesday, August 21, 2012
Poor Noah always manages to catch the weirdest illnesses. He woke up from his nap today covered in weird red whelps and running a fever. They would come up and look really puffy and red and them would go away and leave what looked like a blood blister behind. I couldn't get him into the doctor and they said it was almost for sure viral anyway. I knew he was REALLY feeling bad when he wanted to lay down on the futon. He NEVER lays down to rest. I ended up taking him the next day because they just kept popping up all over him. Luckily they didn't hurt or itch though. They said it was viral and it would just have to run its course. Poor little man!

Happy Birthday Dad!
Friday, August 17, 2012
We had my Dad's birthday party tonight. It's always so fun getting together with everyone to eat and swim. Which seems to be all we do in the summer! Happy Birthday Dad!
Noah wasn't such a big fan of the Key Lime pie but he did thoroughly enjoy eating the whipped cream straight out of the can!

Bed Hog
Wednesday, August 15, 2012
Noah came and crawled in bed with us at some point during the night. I had my back to him and kept feeling him kick me at various points through the night. Annoyed, I finally rolled over and this was how he was sleeping. Completely sideways and with his feet on my pillow. Awesome.

SNAKE!!
Tuesday, August 14, 2012
When I was running with my friend Keelie tonight I was off in Lala Land thinking and talking when she jumps and screams and this is what was not too far in front of us in the road. It was HUGE! And in the middle of a neighborhood! It kept going and was going into someone's backyard. So glad I don't live there!

La Croix
Monday, August 13, 2012
This is my new favorite drink. It's just sparking water with a hint of flavor with no sugar or anything added. I love it but most people hate it because it's not sweet at all. But it has gotten me of Diet Dr. Pepper (for the moment at least) so I'm happy with it.

Grape Stomp and Wine Festival
Saturday, August 11, 2012
Not to far from the country house a vineyard was having a grape stomp! Me and Holly were so excited and had wanted to go since the last time we were here and saw that it was this weekend. You got to take a hayride around the vineyard, stomp grapes and then put your footprints on a shirt. They also had a wine tasting and sparkling grape juice for the kids. So fun!
And I love this picture of London, Macy, and Mackenzie. They love each other so much and it's written all over their faces.

Broke AC
Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Something ALWAYS happens before we go in vacation. You would think we would learn a lesson but we never do. Tonight we came home and our house was ridiculously hot because our AC decided to stop working. So we got to sleep in a hot house the night before we left because no one could come out before we left. Needless to say we didn't waste anytime leaving the next morning.

Genius Crayons
Sunday, August 5, 2012
Every time we go out to eat Noah's crayons at some point end up rolling off the table and into the floor which then results in him being mad and whiny until we find them. It sucks. Whoever thought up these crayons is a genius and they should be mandatory in all restaurants!

Southwest Scorcher 10K
Saturday, August 4, 2012
We had such a fun day today celebrating our 11th anniversary! Who would have ever thought we would want to run in a 6.2 mile race together FOR FUN. But we did. And... I won 1st place in my age group an Jason won 3rd!! Oh yeah! Then we had a leisurely breakfast at the worlds smallest and most ghetto IHop in Lawton and went to a movie. We were talking about how we must be getting old considering that was the fun day we had planned but we wouldn't have changed a thing!

Sick Kenz
Tuesday, July 31, 2012
Poor Kenzie woke up sick again this morning. For some reason she has been waking up with an upset stomach. She throws up, sleeps on the couch a couple hours and then wakes up good as new. At least it doesn't last long.

Grape Bowl
Monday, July 30, 2012
My friend Keelie got this for me after I was eyeballing it at a garage sale. I love it's funkiness and that it's plastic, so Noah can't break it. Now we have a bowl of fresh grapes out that's a great healthy snack for the kids!

Stovetop Popcorn

Friday, July 27, 2012
I am so proud of Jason! He has been doing so well with his running and he ran the Falls Creek 5K this morning. And if you have ever been to Falls Creek you can image how incredibly difficult that would be since the entire camp is up and down huge hills. Great job dear!

Never Ending Peaches

This has been my life since Saturday. Peeling and peeling and peeling. This is just a fraction of how many we had total. So far I have frozen a ton, made peach sorbet, peach jam, peach crisp, peach leather, and we have been eating them like crazy.

Family Night At Fuqua
Sunday, July 15, 2012
The kids went to FBC Duncan's VBS this week and they had a family night at Fuqua park with pizza, face painting and rides at Kiddieland. All my kids favorite things! Noah cracks me up. Most kids his age are freaked out by getting their faces painted but he loves it! He sits so still and lets them do it. He can't stand for his sisters to do something and him not get to do it!

A group from our church ran in the Velma 5K today. It was so fun to have a big group to run with! I wanted to finish in under 30 minutes and my time was 28:08, so I was REALLY happy with that. Jason finished in 31 minutes. It was a great race. Macy and Noah did the 1 mile walk with some friends from church so it was near they got to participate too.
