Whirlwind

It's been a bit since my last update, although I'm not quite sure how that happened. Life has been a little challenging the past few weeks, but I can see light at the end of the tunnel!

Here is a little photo journey of the fun you've missed.

 We spent a weekend in Mulvane in June and got some much-needed nephew time! 

 Henry loves being up in the air and Uncle Kyle loves making him smile! 

 What's in here Nana? Henry is pretty steady when sitting up now and he is very curious!

He also loves to give kisses! 

 What a little cutie!

The Fox Family at Kyle's favorite restaurant.

 Aunt Jerilyn got this jumper for Henry and he was going to town! 

Asher playing in his playroom the night before we moved Stacy and Josh. I think in just less than three years, that boy has lived in more houses than I have my entire life! I bet Josh and Stacy are sick of moving! 

 Asher in Uncle's glasses. 

Asher loves being "worked over" by Zach. This was the same weekend as his going away party and Josh and Stacy's move, so there was a lot going on. Luckily for Asher, though, we always still have time to play!

Happy 4th of July from Kim and Trey's driveway! That's our usual spot for the Stillwater fireworks, even though they are rarely there. Brandon and Krissi joined us and we had a great time! 


 Ben and Jerilyn came to Stillwater for the weekend. We were so glad to spend some time with them. We went up to the dealership to visit Uncle Kyle, and he ended up selling them a car! I guess that just goes to show you, he is never off duty. Speaking of his work, he got a promotion this month, and I am so proud of him. It was definitely well deserved!

 Kyle was so excited when he found this train set "for the nephews." Conner had a good time playing with it, but I think Kyle and Ben may have enjoyed it a little more.


Now that Conner is crawling everywhere, he was having a blast exploring. His favorite things about our house were the air vent that made noise when he ran his hand over it, the door stop that he LOVED playing with and the sliding door in the dining room. Between the blinds and the baseboard, he had a great time. He also made me feel like a very bad housekeeper because every time we turned around, he found something new on the floor to stick in his mouth! :)

 Someone likes to tackle Uncle Kyle!



Well those are just a few of our fun adventures lately. I am hoping for things to get back to normal soon so I can be a little more timely. Have a great weekend!

I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but I LOVE the first Sex and the City Movie. The second, not so much, but I’m pretty sure everyone in America agrees with me on that one. I watched it while I was sick last week. In the movie, there’s an exchange between Carrie and Big that goes a little something like this: C: “Have you ever written me a love letter?” B: “Does a love fax count?” C: “When have I EVER gotten a love fax?” B: “Oh, I'm sure my secretary sent you one...at some point. What can I tell you, baby? It's just not my style. Besides, those guys had to write. They were separated from their loves by wars and hundreds and hundreds of miles. I'm right here. Hello. You make me very happy.” C: “Yeah, yeah. Put it in writing.” Comic genius. Anyway, that got me thinking that Kyle and I rarely ever stop to focus on what we love about each other. Unfortunately we spend far too much time pointing out things we wish the other would do differently.

A Yellow Brick Farewell

Image
Written August 18, 2017: Well it's finally happening. This weekend, we are packing boxes and preparing to move out of our little yellow brick house. I can't help but be sentimental as I think about all the life we've lived here. It has been a wonderful first home for us. We both agree that if we could pick it up and move it, we would. But it's time to start a new chapter. Life has changed in so many ways over the past seven years. In these four walls, we have experienced it all - highs, lows and plateaus. (And no, I am not just referring to our house hunt, which was brutal for everyone.) I am so grateful for where we are today. God has blessed us in so many ways. I started this blog to document our lives, and I am so glad to have all of these yellow brick memories to look back on. But as we enter this new chapter, I am finding my devotion to capturing the moment is often keeping me from living in it. I don't want to hold so tightly anymore. I am ready to l

Independence Day

Where did this week go? It seems like the 4th of July was just yesterday, but I realize I'm a little delinquent with this post. Last weekend was a very long one for me - four days to be exact, and I loved every minute of it. I especially loved Monday because for the first time in a very long time, Kyle had a holiday (besides Christmas or Thanksgiving) off! We weren't incredibly productive, but we got to spend time with the Fox family and Tom, so it was a pretty good day. Stillwater's fireworks were on Sunday, so we invited Amanda and Kurtis over for a cookout. Then we drove across town to Kim and Trey's so we could have a front row seat for the show. They weren't there, but they were kind enough to let us sit in their driveway. :) We had a great time and were able to really celebrate this year, as opposed to last year when Kyle was still healing from his surgery. I really enjoy the 4th of July. When I was younger it meant getting together at Grandma and Grandpa Tayl
