Tyson's Welcome Home Party

Josh and Trent have been best friends for a long time. Since they have been close friends, Trent's dad has been deployed to Iraq. Well, he is home!!! Yeah!

Tim, Josh, Owen and myself went to a welcome home party for Tyson and it was great to finally meet him. Kelley and Tyson are so cute together; it is like they just cannot get enough of each other right now. Caleb and Trent were super excited to see their dad and from what I hear they are glued to his side.

Welcome home Tyson! Thank you for serving our country and protecting our freedom! God bless the USA!

Owen LOVED the brownies!

Random Pics

I am currently taking a photography class, so my boys often get to "model" for me. With a family of all boys you can imagine how well that goes over. This week's assignment was portraiture so I thought I would post some of the most recent pics of my boys.

Family Photos

We braved the rain and took family photos on Saturday, April 18th. It was unfortunately a rainy/cloudy day (that appears to now be the norm here in Oklahoma). Well, we decided to go for it anyway and took pictures in downtown Tulsa. Despite the rain, we had a great time we were able to capture some great pics. Enjoy.

Josh's First Goal

On April 15th, we had a make-up soccer game for the snow day back in March.

Josh had a GREAT game! He really stayed on the ball; kept his head up, and boy did it pay off!! Josh scored his first goal and the look on his face was so wonderful. Tim and I got teary eyed because we were just so stinkin’ proud of him - what an awesome moment. Then, to top it off (even though we are not supposed to really keep score), Josh scored the game-winning goal! 2 goals ... wow, what a day! Here are the pics of his first goal and then some other random pics I have taken recently...

Elmo's Green Thumb

This is a favorite time of year for Josh - he loves seeing characters come to life. Although, he really does not watch Sesame Street anymore, he enjoys going to see Elmo every year. He waves at all of the characters, he laughs and giggles - it is intoxicating to watch the magic in his eyes.

Since Tim has been traveling so much recently with work, we wanted this to be a special day with Josh, mommy, and daddy. Grandma watched Owen so we could have a date with our son and it was so nice to be able to focus solely on Josh. He is such a great kid!
