Miles is ELEVEN!

 

Miles is eleven years old today!!

He started middle school a few weeks ago and is adjusting and maturing into his bigger kid role. 

He started band (on clarinet) too, but fishing is for sure his first true love! :) 

Happy Birthday to my middle boy, the family comedian! 

Owen is SIX

This cool dude is SIX YEARS old today!

Owen keeps us all laughing!  His antics are new and original, not one to be a copycat, he has his own personality for sure!

He spent most of the last year wearing 'fake' glasses, but told me he doesn't need them during the summer since he's not at school! haha! 

Happy Birthday, OWEN!

2016 First Day of School

Cooper is THIRTEEN!

 Cooper is THIRTEEN years old today!

This was the year he outgrew his Mama!

And we're proud of the young man he's becoming.

This year is a "big one"...  

which is where you'll find Cooper most often, trying to catch a 'BIG ONE"!

Happy 13th, Coop!

February 2020 Celebrations

I love Valentine's Day! My boys made sure I felt special with flowers!

And there were class parties since it was Feb 2020... you know, before the pandemic.

(Hoping to catch this blog up on the very basics of our year soon!)

Owen loves a reason to accessorize, a pre-k party is just the reason!

He's such a clown!

After Owen's party, we headed to Miles' class party...

He had made a box to hold all his Valentine's from his class.

They played games.

And since Owen was already out of school, he got to come along.

And at some point ended up inside Miles' locker!

They had fun looking at all their goodies when they got home!

It wasn't a party, but Cooper went to middle school skate night.

(Another thing that hasn't happened since the pandemic)

Derek and I snuck in a lunch date to a local cafe to celebrate.

💗I love him💗

That month was also the 101st day of pre-k and they all dressed as 101 Dalmatians!

A costume that Owen sported for months following!

Meet Marv

For Cooper's 12th birthday (Nearly a year ago!🙈) Derek's sister, Mikiah, gifted him her pet snake, Marv!  So Derek took the boys on a drive one Sunday afternoon to meet Aunt Mikiah and Uncle Kaulin half way between Tulsa and Kansas City to pick him up.  They also got to meet Bruce, their new St Bernard!

And spent a few minutes playing with him before hitting the road back home.

Where Marv rode with Cooper.

These guys were so excited to show him to me! 😣

I have yet to touch it with my own hands...  but everyone else makes up for that!

Merry Christmas!

 

Oklahoma Snow!

One winter morning... we woke up tp snow!

 

These guys were so excited! This is a lot of snow for Oklahoma... 

And it meant school was cancelled!

So they were off to have some fun!

And build a little snowman.

And freeze a t-shirt?  Snow day science?!
