Piano Lessons

Addison started piano lessons last week. This was the song she learned after one lesson. We are so proud of her and she is pretty proud of herself.

Brock had a stomach virus last Thursday. It all erupted 10 minutes before we left for school. So, poor little Brock had to ride to school with us until Daddy could get home from the fire station. He did o.k. in the car, but he got sick in the parking lot once we got there. Since I got sick there last spring, it is becoming a family tradition to vomit in the school parking lot. YUCK!! His little virus has lingered through the weekend, but he seems to be almost 100% today.

Tomorrow is our fair day holiday. We are headed to the State Fair of Texas in the morning. We hope to meet up with Brock's buddy, Ethan. I hope to get some good pictures. But before all of that fun........we are sleeping in......YEAH! Simple pleasures :))))))

Born in Texas, but.....

On Friday, we had college day at school. I proudly wore my Southeastern Oklahoma t-shirt, but Addison had to wear her OU cheer suit. Eventhough Brock doesn't go to our school, he joined in with the theme. The director at his preschool is a huge OU fan, so he was the favorite kid for the day. Addison was a hit, as well. I know she proudly held up #1 as they played Boomer Sooner over the speakers. Oddly enough, they played five school songs, but they didn't play the Texas fight song :) (They did play Tech and A&M.)

Brock has decided that he wants to wear his hair spiked. I usually don't put that much effort into his hair on school days, but he had a good week so I tried. I am so thankful that I only have to run a comb through his hair on normal days. I don't think I could get three heads of hair ready before school.

So my kids were born in Texas, but as you can see, their hearts are in Oklahoma (or Norman!)

All of the pictures look dark because we were doing this about 6:45 in the morning.

My favorite picture....






We are spending the day hanging out with IKE. He is bringing us very strong winds and pounding rain. We don't have a rain gauge, but I am guess that we are already over several inches. We have had sheets of rain for over 3 hours now and it is still spinning over us. I love storms! Michael, on the other hand, is spending extra time at the fire station. Since he is a certified swift water rescue man, he gets the joy of waiting on people to get into high water. He thought he might get to come home tonight, but we still haven't heard from him. Hopefully we will get to see him a little bit before we head back to school on Monday....
