Darby to Woolaroc

I got to go with Darby's class to Woolaroc in Bartlesville.  I had not been during nice weather before and was pleasantly surprised at how pretty the grounds were and how much there was to explore.  

Tulsa state Fair 2014

We told the kids that we would not be riding any rides at the fair this year.  It is just too expensive for our family of five.  Since they were prepared they handled it very well once we actually got there.  We spent a little more money on foor and actually let them go in the butterfly tent to make up for it.  

Daily Life

This child is the best sleeper.  She tells me when she is tired and asks permission to take naps.  She also falls asleep where ever she is if she is tired.  Daddy was holding her, waiting for mama to put her to bed and she passed out.

 She also laughs more than any kid I've some across.  She cracks herself up.  

 Georgia is learning the family business and came out one Saturday to help me run the saw.  She is a god helper!

 Mary has been working her bottom off on blazing trails through the woods.  We love them and often spend evenings taking walks and learning about nature. 

Ten Years of Bliss

Matt and I renewed our vows the week of our 10th anniversary.  It was a small ceremony with some family down on my moms land.  My goo friend Kelly of Elly Photography came and took pictures for us.  This is just a small sampling.  Oh and I guess I should mention, I wore my original wedding dress.  

Our moms got us a hotel room downtown that night so we went out and had an evening and leisurely morning to ourselves.  

Big Noses, Big Purchases, Big News

Mary keeps a huge tub of dress up clothes at her house so we never know who the kids will be on a night they decide to get into it.  This is Darby as a clown.  

Our washing machine died so we got a new one and it has a clear top.  Hours on entertainment.  

 And finally, Darby has learned to ride a bike.  The girls and I went over to the Katy trail by our house and did a little 5-mile ride. Mama was a bit nervous but they did great.  

Spanish Festival 2014

The kids did a great job this year.  I helped sew all the skirts for Georgia's class and had a lot of fun doing so.  They were really great and made the performance more authentic.  

 Darby's class did a cute song about Pizzas.

 Matt had to work but Mera sat in the front and was great for the whole shoe.
