Girl's Day

It's been a long time since the Fox ladies had a girl's day. It's hard to find a time that works for everyone now that our families are growing. But a few weekends ago, we made an effort to get together for a little bonding time. Both Jerilyn and I have birthdays in March, so that was a great excuse.

Kyle and I went to Wichita on Saturday night and enjoyed dinner with Greg, Stacie, Henry, Jerilyn and Conner. Despite it being spring forward, Kyle still managed to wake up in time to go to work with Greg at 6 a.m. on Sunday. They worked a half shift and got home just as Kyle's parents were arriving. The boys stayed home with the nephews and us girls went out for a little pampering. We ate lunch, got manicures and did a little shopping. It was glorious!

When we got home, Greg had everything ready for a cookout, which was very brave of him considering how cold it was outside. After we ate, we had fun playing with the nephews and giving Jerry and Patti gifts for their 36th anniversary. Overall it was the perfect weekend!

Henry loves going down his slide, but Uncle Kyle was in the way.

 Conner and Henry have so much fun together. 

Papa with his grandsons. They're quite the armful these days!

 Nana and Papa brought Oscar with them and Henry LOVED him. He kept saying "woof, woof." Also on this trip, he showed me how he can make the sounds for a cat and a bear.  He's such a smart little thing.

 Conner and Mommy

Conner and Henry made these adorable cards! I got one for my birthday and it's hanging on our fridge.

Well that pretty much gets you up-to-speed. I am about to leave for a short trip to Kansas since it's spring break here and the Foundation is closed on Friday! I hope you all have a great week.

Chi-town Shenanigans

The Tuesday before last, I left for a trip to Chicago. The annual ADRP conference was there this year and while I've been in the past, this year was different because our ENTIRE team went. There were seven of us in all, and we had so much fun together! Chicago is a place I've never really been dying to visit. I haven't been opposed, it just wasn't on the top of my list. However, after going there, I definitely want to go back. It's a very clean city and there is so much to do and so many wonderful things to see. Kyle and I will have to plan a trip there some day. If I learned one thing this trip it was that I work with the most awesome people! On the airport parking shuttle on our way home we met a lady. She said she opted to take the full shuttle because she and four of her coworkers had been together for four days and needed a little time apart. We all smiled and nodded as if we understood completely, but in that moment I couldn't. We spent our spare ti...

Love Text

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....

Spring Break

Contrary to popular belief, the OSU Foundation is not closed during spring break. In fact, we are open on most of the university-specific holidays. However, I was fortunate to be able to take 1 1/2 days off to spend a little time with the family during their break. My parents, Zach, Stacy and Asher had planned to visit my Donahue grandparents in Kansas, so I decided to tag along. Poor Kyle had to work, but he also got to spend the weekend with Greg and Stacie. They took him to a Thunder game and then out for golf on Saturday. They also found some basketball video game Greg and Kyle used to play as kids so that entertained them for most of Saturday evening. Stacie sent me this photo. They won with a dunk during the final seconds of the game. I think they're excited! :) Back on the farm, we got to spend a little time with Landon, who is now 6 months old. It's hard to believe how big his is! He is even sitting up on his own. Asher did pretty good with him although he did unintenti...
