4th of July in Oklahoma




















This summer we decided to go to Oklahoma for the entire month of July! Rikki and her family were going to be in Enid for the month, so we decided to join them! Carrie now lives next door to mom and dad, so there were lots of cousins to play with every day for an entire month! We headed up to Lauri's house so that we could drive together! The kids had a great time trying to stack the bean bags with all of them on! It was quite entertaining to watch! It was also fun to see all the cousins having so much fun together! We decided to leave for Oklahoma at 2:00a.m, in hopes that the kids would sleep for a good portion of the drive! Well they did sleep for a little bit, but then they woke up around 6:30 and never went back to sleep! It was a LONG drive, but we finally made it late that evening! We got their just in time for the 4th! On the 3rd we went to the country club for fireworks and bounce houses! The kids had a blast! Then on the 4th, we went back to the country club for all the water games and then headed to Meadowlake for the symphony and fireworks! It was a fun day, but I was exhausted by the end of it! On Sunday the 6th, we celebrated Tenley's birthday and she loved that! For 2 weeks we had everyone at mom and dad's house except Drue and Kristen's family! However, my Aunt Crystal and her 2 boys came out, so they filled in the gap there! We had 19 kids and 6 extra adults at my parents house! It was crazy and chaotic at meal times, but the kids had so much fun! We played outside a lot and went swimming a lot! It was great to see all the cousins just play and play and play! The next post will be about more of our trip! Stay tuned!

Happy 4th Birthday Sweet Tenley


















Happy 4th Birthday my dear Miss Tenley! The pictures really explain it all! We had 2 birthday parties for Tenley this year! On Friday June 27th we had a little party at our house with her dad! We let her open her present before we left for our big trip to Oklahoma! All she wanted was a kitchen and a Frozen dress. Well, the kitchen came in time, so that was good! She was so excited when she saw her pink kitchen! She also really enjoyed her chocolate cake!  Her real birthday was on July 5th, but we had her big party with all her cousins on the 6th. She was so excited to be having her birthday party in Oklahoma with all her cousins! We had a great time! Everyone loved the pinata and got to whack it good a few times! We also had the slip-n-slide going and a little pool they could play in! It was a fun day and I know a birthday Tenley will remember! 

Tenley is such a little character...as you can see by the pictures! She loves to play, dance, sing, draw, pose for the camera, change her clothes multiple times a day, and get really really dirty! She is FULL OF ENERGY and keeps me hoppin during the day! She is a little dramatic and can be a little sassy if I let her! She loves to snuggle and give loves! We love our Tenley and do not know what we would do without her! Happy Birthday Sweet Girl!!
