Marpril Updates

Somehow, March turned to April and the month is now more than half over. I'm a bit behind, so instead of a bunch of individual blogs, I thought I'd just make one big recap for you. The thing we've enjoyed most about the last two months is the spring weather we've been having. It's so nice to get outside, work on the yard and enjoy the sunshine.

 Kyle was sick for about a week after we got home from our trip. It was pretty brutal, but Oliver kept him company. 

 In March, we went to Ponca one Sunday to celebrate Kyle's parent's wedding anniversary.

 I didn't get any pictures of the adults, but we had fun sitting in the living room and watching Conner play. He is so focused and it is cool to see his little mind working away.


 Being a dog owner is so much more enjoyable in spring than it is in the winter. Oliver and I love taking long walks on Saturdays. 

 We have the most beautiful sunsets in Oklahoma.

 Mom and Dad came down to spend the night one weekend. They needed some things for the remodel at Lowe's and while we were there, Kyle fell in love with this power washer. 

 Oliver and I were not impressed because it meant spending the rest of our Sunday washing cars. :)

 Kyle's parents also paid us a visit. The guys replaced a few boards on the patio awning while us girls took Oliver for a walk and soaked up some sun. 

 Oliver supervised from the trailer. He jumped in there himself and then couldn't figure out how to get out. 

 Jordan, one of my coworkers, had her baby girl in April! She was in labor for over 48 hours, so we made this little labor of love basket to help her through. I have seen her three times since giving birth and am so impressed by how effortlessly she handles it all. Andie is so lucky to have such a fabulous, capable mommy.

 Stacy needed to run some errands on Good Friday, so she and the kids came to Stillwater so I could tag along. Hobby Lobby isn't exactly kid friendly, but we found a Duck Tape display that kept Quinn entertained.

...well that, and watching her silly brother. 

 Then we headed back to the house for some indoor egg hunting. 

 And Asher finally got his jelly beans. 


 On Easter Sunday, we went to church in Hennessey to watch Asher sing a few songs. This picture was taken in Mom's new kitchen before church. They remodeled it throughout the month of March and it looks AMAZING. They also remodeled their master bath, but I didn't get any pictures of that. 

 The Ward Family 

 Little Miss Quinn has been Aunt Abby's girl lately. She always asks for me, and she didn't want me to put her down that afternoon.

 I was rocking glasses on Easter because I had a consultation for LASIK the next week. Kyle had a great time watching and playing along with the Price is Right while I was back in the exam room. He and that lady were BFFs by the end of the morning. 

 It was a Tuesday, so we had the rest of the day off with some time to kill. Kyle decided he wanted to go to a golf store just to try out some clubs. 

 He ended up coming home with a new set! 

 And, of course, he had to try them out on the golf course. 

It was a beautiful day, so we decided to end it by going to the last home tennis match of the season. It was our first time at the outdoor courts and we were blown away. What an awesome tennis center we have now!

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...
