Sunday Afternoon Naps

The house is clean, I've finished my book and the boys are napping, so I finally have time to blog!

The last few weeks have been filled with beginnings and endings at the Fox house. We had fun celebrating Konnor's first birthday. I was late thanks to the Elk's Blazathon, a BBQ competition I've helped judge for the past three years now. But I got there just in time to see Konnor open his presents and dig into his cake. Kyle even got to stop by for a few minutes and had fun playing with the little ones.


This week, I started a wellness challenge at work, which lasts until June, so we are trying to make healthier choices. More fruits, veggies and long walks with Oliver. Also this week, we got our first win in volleyball! It's been a long, somewhat disappointing season, but we all had a great time on Tuesday night. Victory really is sweet. The final game of our volleyball season is on Thursday, and we face-off with the other Foundation team for ultimate victory. Hopefully we can pull it out!

Enjoying an evening walk and God's breathtaking creation! 

Worn out 

Family selfie! We may have to make this a tradition before every volleyball game since we actually won this one! 

On Friday, we attended our last Thunder game - unless we happen to stumble upon some playoff tickets. It's been a lot of fun going to the games, especially because our seats are so close to Lisa's. The only negative is the amount of time it takes to get there, fight traffic, park and get home. I don't know that we'll do season tickets again, but we've enjoyed the games we've gone to.

Oliver is still behaving so well. He actually got into his crate VOLUNTARILY for the first time. That's a huge step for us because I usually have to drag him into it in the morning. When I walked in the room and he was already there, I could hardly believe it. I guess that proves he'll do anything for a treat! :) Kyle also taught him to roll over and he mastered his doggy puzzle game. He is making us so proud!


 Holy tongue Batman!
 Yes, we did get him his first outfit. Raychel will be so proud!


 Kyle cleaned out the flower beds last weekend, and we had planned to do some planting, but the weather is being wacky, so we have to wait. Instead, the boys just sat out on the porch watching the first spring storm roll in. 


Overall it's been a great few weeks, but I'm OK with them being over. We're looking forward to celebrating Easter and meeting little miss Morgan!

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...
