So long, summer

Well even though the weather hasn't realized it yet, we celebrated Labor Day last weekend so that means summer is coming to a close. Kyle was able to get off work a little early on Saturday so we could head to Wichita to see Greg and Stacie. Greg is back on the night shift so after watching the end of the OSU game, grabbing some supper and putting Henry to bed, the guys were off to fight crime. I am always amazed by my nephews and how much they change in just a few weeks. Henry can now say his version of Abby and Kyle, and it's so cute! He is still very good at his animal sounds and is learning his colors. But his absolute favorite things to play with are balls. He is obsessed with them and he says "a ball" every time he sees anything round (limes, bubbles, pregnant bellies, you name it).

 Henry loves to fist bump. He's also rocking his orange Converse for OSU game day! 

 Catching bubbles before bath time! 


 Henry was watching a little Curious George while doing his breathing treatment, and Uncle Kyle found it very interesting. 

Enjoying a nice morning out on Greg and Stacie's new deck.

The next day, we went over to Jerilyn's house to spend some time with Conner. He seems to have grown a foot since a few weeks ago. Kyle was flying him through the air and had to take a break since he's getting so heavy. He's starting to talk and is so precious when he says "uh, oh." For Conner, it's all about trucks and he has miniature versions of all kinds of construction equipment. Kyle put him in one of his dump trucks and drove him around the house but he did not care so much for that.

 Conner is such a busy boy that I have a hard time getting a clear picture of him. 


 He even loves watching car videos with the guys! 


We let the guys babysit while us girls had our nails done and did a little shopping. It was nice to have a little girl time and my toes were needing some attention. I decided orange polish seemed appropriate since we were kicking off football season! Then we had dinner back a Greg and Stacie's and spent a little time outside before heading home. It was a great way to end the summer!



 Fun with Aunt Jerilyn!

 He has the sweetest smile! 

 This is Mick, Greg and Stacie's new puppy. 


 The boys had so much fun chasing grasshoppers. 

 Future basketball star in the making! 


 We wanted to get a photo of the boys with Nana and Papa, but this is how the photo shoot started so our hopes were not high. 

 As luck would have it, we ended up getting a decent one! 

 All I wanted was a normal picture and this is what I got. 




 The Fox girls. 

Goodbye hugs!

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...
