Father's Day

We spent Father's Day in Mulvane. Originally we thought we'd be in Ponca, but since Greg has to work on Sundays, it just worked out better to celebrate in Kansas. Kyle and I went down the night before and stayed with Greg and Stacie. Kyle went riding with Greg SUPER early in the morning, and Jerilyn and Conner stopped by to show us their new dog, Lucy. Then the boys took their naps before Nana and Papa showed up for the cookout. It was so much fun spending some time enjoying the day together and seeing all of the fun things the boys are doing. They really are growing up SO fast! It was also great to celebrate Kyle's Dad and all he does for his family. The Fox boys have a great example to look up to as they start building their own families. Here are some pictures from the weekend.

 Lucy would crawl on her stomach under the dining room chairs. It was so precious. If only puppies never had to grow up!

 We all had to help blow up the kiddie pool, which got pretty hard when we were laughing at how ridiculous we looked! We managed to get it done, though. 


Here's a video of Henry showing us all of his tricks. These poor boys are always asked to perform, but you know they love it!

 They love their grandkids so much! 

 Conner's giggles are so sweet. He and Uncle Kyle have so much fun together!

 Look at all that hard work! The boys had fun, but they were a little chilly since the hot day turned very breezy with a storm moving in. 



I thought this captured just how difficult it is to get a happy picture at the end of the day. They really did have a great time, even though you can't see that here.

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...
