Day 321


This was our last day in Oklahoma with us flying home this evening. There wasn't anything really exciting about my day, but I noticed outside our plane window that the plane to San Diego was about ready to leave the gate. San Diego sounds a lot warmer than Seattle, but I'm ready to be home whether rain or shine.

Day 320


Today was such a fun day. I got to spend the day shopping with my mom and aunt. Mike took the boys to Qdoba for lunch and a little concert with Switchfoot and then bought tickets to the U2 concert at Qwest Field next June.
To top off our day, my parents took the boys for the evening and Mike and I headed to Oklahoma City to see Switchfoot in concert. We had such a great time rocking out and singing along to a lot of the songs since we have almost all their cd's. It was so nice to have a date night with my husband during our vacation.

Day 319


The boys, Mike and I spent this evening at my brother and sister-in-law's house who live in Tulsa. My parents, aunt and grandparents were all there to enjoy each other's company, hang out and eat some pizza. I snapped this photo of Andy sitting on great-grandpa's lap after dinner and it's really sweet how my boys who don't get to see their great grandparents often still enjoy being with them.

Day 318

Introducing
Mr. and Mrs. Keith Reimer
My middle brother has taken the plunge and got married to a really sweet gal this afternoon. It was such an honor and privilege of being able to be there to watch Keith and Alissa be joined in marriage. Andy did an awesome job standing up with both of his uncles and walking down the aisle with Alissa's nieces. I look forward to getting to know my new sister-in-law.

Day 317

Tonight was the rehearsal for my brother's wedding in which my adorable son is the ring bearer. We have been prepping Andy for a few weeks about how he will stand up next to Uncle Keith and Uncle Kyle during Uncle Keith's wedding and hold a little pillow. Andy didn't have much to say this evening, but he did learn he was to walk down the aisle with two little girls who are the nieces of the bride. Later Mike instructed Andy that if he was to walk down the aisle with these two girls, he needed to learn what their names were. My husband is already teaching my oldest to be a little Casanova.

Day 316

Today we are off to Tulsa, Oklahoma to see my family and attend my brother's wedding this coming Saturday. Since Aaron is now two years old, I thought we could possibly take one trip without the stroller. It worked for the most part, but Aaron walks at his own sweet pace which was fine since we had a three hour layover in Salt Lake City. He did eventually give out and Mike offered to give him a ride on the suitcase. It was absolutely funny to watch the reaction of other travelers seeing my son ride atop the carry on. It did get us to the gate a lot faster.

Day 104

Today we are traveling back home to Washington. I took this picture about 7 am as the sun was rising. We have 320 miles to drive and then about 2500 in a plane. It's going to be a long day traveling.

Day 103


For our last meal in Oklahoma, we went back out to my grandparent's house for roast and all the fixings. After supper, we were all sitting in the living room and the boys were playing all over the place. This picture was captured and I just love the fact that I have a picture of my youngest with his great-grandma.

Day 101


Tonight we went out to the farm where my grandparents live. Grandpa grilled hamburgers and my Grandma made her famous homemade ice cream. Aaron made the rounds getting ice cream, strawberries and homemade chocolate sauce from various members of the family. Unfortunately, mom completely forgot about the dozen raw eggs in the ice cream and the child who is currently allergic to those eggs proceeded to puke all over mom about 30 minutes later. I figured that was Aaron's reaction to the eggs and at least it wasn't an antiphylactic reaction.

Day 98

Tonight after dinner, we finished off the cupcakes. Aaron only loved the icing and ate about two bites of the cupcake. My mom mixed cream cheese icing and Cool-Whip together for the icing. It was quite tasty.

Day 96

After three hours in a car, one stop to Sonic, the boys and I made it to Cyril, Oklahoma where my best friend, Leigh Ann lives with her husband and daughter. Thanks to the stop at Sonic, I had to wash the car seat today before we left. Aaron, a straw and an apple juice slush do not mix.
Oh well, the boys and Leigh's little girl had a fun time playing together and Leigh and I had a wonderful time just catching up and hanging out.

Day 95

Today we spent some time hanging out with Uncle Kyle, Aunt Robin, Uncle Keith and his girlfriend, Alyssa. I was gathering up all of our luggage to put back in the car to head to Cyril, OK. Aunt Robin was very sweet to hold Aaron and he decided she was okay enough to take a short nap with her.

Day 94


Yes, once again, I am at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport about to board a plane in search of some sun. Yet, this time, I'm really going just to see my family. The boys and I are headed to Tulsa, OK to see my brothers tonight and hang out with them. I also hope I get to meet my brother's girlfriend. I have heard she is really sweet and nice, and she has a dog. We are a dog loving family. I haven't seen my family since September and I do miss them. So here's hoping to great flying and a great time with family!!
