Vacation Baby!!!

Oh my goodness, we booked this trip forever ago and it was finally time to set sail. We were all looking forward to a vacation … finally. We cruised on the Carnival Conquest and went to the following ports: Monetgo Bay, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel. We had a great time. Josh loved Camp Carnival! Owen missed going by 3 months and in retrospect, we should have waited until he was old enough to go to Camp Carnival. However, our travel agent and friend were on board and her daughter babysat for us a little each day. I cannot believe how quickly vacation came to an end – I swear my normal weeks do not go by that fast! Ha! All-in-all we had a wonderful time and cruising is something we will most definitely do again.

Josh's 5th Birthday

First, I just realized how long it had been since I have updated our blog. I cannot believe I have waited this long. It is time to catch up!

Josh turned 5 on Sept 23rd. He was so excited to turn 5 – I guess he defines being a “big kid” and “grown up” as a 5 year old. I am not going to discuss, if by that logic, what that makes me – yikes!

To celebrate we celebrated with his class at Putt and Jump. The kids had a blast. However, that little party has started a spiral of events at Putt and Jump (I have to admit I am growing pretty tired of that place). ;o)

For his actual birthday, Tim and I brought McDonalds to his class (80 chicken nuggets to be exact – which were ALL devoured –wow!). After lunch I surprised Josh by taking the rest of the day off and we went to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs. That evening the family came over for a cook out and to celebrate Josh’s day. It was a fantastic celebration!

An evening at the park

Last night, Tim and I decided to take Josh and Owen to the park to burn off some energy. They had a wonderful time and we managed to capture some decent shots. Enjoy!

Owen's First Haircut

Well, against everyone’s approval we did it ... we cut off the curls. It was just time. He looks like such a little man now. Owen did great during the haircut!

Owen is just such a wonderful, sweet, and ornery kiddo - I love that little man!

JR and Luke's 6th Birthday

JR and Luke both turned 6 this August! I cannot believe how fast everyone is growing up. They are both in Kindergarten now and it is just crazy that time continues to fly by - where is that stinkin' pause button?

Tim's First 5K

Tim ran his first 5K on August 14th at the Trailblazer Run in downtown Tulsa. He did great and has now inspired me to do the same (one day, anyway).

Great job, honey!
