Anywhooooo....
K, can we just pretend like no time has elapsed and I don't suck at blogging? We can? Great! Phew. I was afraid you'd be mad.
So since we are all on the same page here- agreeing that I can just pick up the blog at "now" and back-blog when our life is usually boring- then I will show you what we are doing here.
I suppose I just needed three snow-days to get back to blogging. (Oh, thaaat's all? riiiiight.)
So we are experiencing unprecedented snow and cold here in OKC. Kids have been home three days and counting. All four of us. Here. Oh, you think I mean "five"? Nope. Shawn is in Florida. I won't say it a again. Smart of those boys to plan a trip to the Sunshine State and leave their families trapped under snow and ice. Awesome idea, really. No, seriously, it's not been bad hanging out with the kids scattering toys everywhere, constantly asking for food, begging to go outside...in fact here comes S asking me to open a granola bar. And here comes H crying and N tackling him as he cries more. Awesome.
Ok. Surrender. Here's the pics:
Looked at this.
Scooped this.
(the snow that blew in our door)
Shoveled this.
Van trapped in garage by this (ice).
N and S proving that it is ice.
Kids played outside for hours. N and neighbor boy built this tunnel/fort.
Excavating the tunnel
Playing in a snow drift.

The moment you've all been waiting for...
A NEW POST!
About time...I know. Hey, I get busy. But to make it up to you I am posting this slide show that I made for Shawn. I sent it to him, kind of like a father's day/anniversary/birthday present. What else does he need on a deployment? Right?
This is a collection of memories from our adventures this summer. I wanted to tell him all that he has been missing while we are missing him. And I figured that I would post it here and get you all off my back (ha) for not posting!
I will caution you...it is 10 min long. But worth it!
Happy Summer 2010!

Just biking around
This is a delayed post from sunday...
Since we got done with dinner early, it wasn't raining that much, and Stella took a long nap today, mom thought a bike ride at the high school track would be perfect!! Everyone knows running around and fresh air help kids sleep better : )
So not only is it a track but the football field is there. Immediately Nick asked if he could go on the "real football field." I missed him in the three point stance but caught this play on camera.
Nick. Set. Hut.
Then I saw Stella doing her new fancy bike trick.
Look ma no hands!

So what have we been doing anyway?
Besides unpacking and settling into a new place, we have been really enjoying the great outdoors. And by that, I mean, the yard. HA! I mean can you imagine what my parents' yard must seem like to a 3 or 5 yr old? To them, the yard is noT just big, but infinite. Not just tree-lined, but mysterious. Not just hilly, but full of steep cliffs.
Nick and Stella are outside much of the day. Here are some of their adventures so far...
Nick found a "monster-hand stick."
(Yep, looks pretty much like a monster-hand stick to me!)
And Stella has one now too. Smaller, of course.
Exploring with Sadie Lady.
Climbing a tree!
Playing campout on the screened in porch.
They are coming inside sweaty, filthy, buggy, dirt stained knees and butts of pants. They are eating like crazy! But THAT is exactly what kids should be doing in the summer!!

Henry just doing his things
Now that we are back at my parents' house in WV, I have had a several moments to catch my breath, grab a snack, do some To Dos, and now get some video of my growing baby.
Tonight's feature is of Henry walker-ing, jabbering, slamming his sippy cup, attempting to climb out of the walker, and almost eating my camera. Here, watch.
"Just Let Me Eat My Raviolis"
This walker is such cheap entertainment...(for me.)
