Goodbye, June!

Time is flying so fast, and I have not made time to blog. So let's rewind to the last weekend in June. Ben, Jerilyn and Conner came for a visit. We were so glad to have them over. It just so happens that they decided to visit on the most beautiful Sunday. It was sunny and the weather was in the 80s. What a treat!

We had lunch on the patio, went to the playground, cooked out for dinner, played games, went out for ice cream and roasted marshmallows by the fire. It was a great way to end the month. Here are some photos from the day. 

 Conner helped Kyle water the grass, but I think he would have rather been watering himself. He kept trying to turn it on himself! 

 Conner got a new puppy, Lucy. She's pretty darn cute! They had fun exploring the backyard.


Conner loved climbing up and down the rock wall. He also really liked the steering wheel, but hopefully that doesn't mean he'll be crazy about cars like his Uncle Kyle. 


Time for a little break. 

The whole gang (minus Kyle). I am wearing glasses because I got an eye infection and had to wear them for an ENTIRE week! It felt so strange and definitely reminded me how thankful I am for contacts. 

He is usually all smiles, but sometimes his life is just so hard! :) 

Uncle Kyle and Daddy took him for some rides on the lawn mower and he loved that. 


Conner wanted to play with us and got better and better as the day went on. He actually made it into the hole quite a few times. 


But my favoirte was watching him get so excited! 


The boys were gazing over to Countryside Baptist where they had a huge slip and slide and an inflatable water slide. After that we decided to whip out the sprinkler. I didn't get any pictures, though. 

Those stinkers! I didn't even notice their little "modeling stances" until I was uploading these pictures.

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...
