Totally Random

Ok so I have gone through my phone and put all my pictures on my computer. So I have a lot of random pictures of things we have done over the past couple of months! So here is a quick picture update!

First my mom, my sis, my friend Steph and I went to the Taylor Swift concert. We had so much fun. The concert was really good. We went and ate at the Melting Pot before, which was DELICIOUS and then went to the concert.

This was Romeo and Juliet, the stage looked like a castle. It was so pretty.

We also went to one of the NBA playoff games. The Thunder came to OKC 2 years ago and they are in the playoffs this year playing the Lakers. We went to one of the home games and they won! It was so much fun. The crowd was crazy loud and my throat is still a little sore from the game, but it as a blast!







I went fishing in the pond behind our house and caught this bass! The hubs laughs at me because I get so excited for catching fish regardless of how big (or small) they are!Of course he had to out do me and catch a big bass! Oh well! Here is Daisy laying out in the sun one day! She cracks me up





We went bowling with some friends at Rock N Bowl with the black lights! I though we looked really tan so I had to take of pic of our legs. (I know I'm a dork)

Our fun bowling shoes



Ok so hopefully I'll try and update this a little more often instead of posting a TON of pictures at one time!! But we have had a fun month. I love that the weather is warming up and we can be outside more.

Funny Friday

Keeping Up With Kelly & Co







It's Friday!!! I'm linking up with Kelly's Friday Funny! This is my first time to link up to anyone's blog so if there are issues please let me know! =)

So here are some of the funny things that happened this week: (you might now think all of these are funny, but I do and I want to remember them!! =)

First off we went and played golf on Monday we some friends of ours. It was a blast! I'm awful, but oh well we still had fun! The funniest part of the evening was I was walking down a little hill to where I hit my ball and L was on the cart watching me and I totally bit it! I fell flat on my butt! Our friends where up on the green and they saw me and then I went missing down the hill. I was laughing SO hard I couldn't get up! L just looked at me and started laughing.

I also went fishing this week. L wasn't home so I went to our pond with my new pink pole. I caught 7 small fish and then cast and the top of my pole flew out in the pond. I guess I didn't put it together right. But luckily I reeled it back in. I was dying laughing. If only someone saw me! It was pretty funny.

L and I got a new TV and TV cabinet for our living room and moved our old tv into our bedroom. It is a TV that sets up on the speaker (like all in one) So it doesn't have to have a cabinet or anything. We had a trunk in our bedroom that our old TV was on so we tried to put this TV on it and it set up like almost to the ceiling. We laughed and laughed about how high it was. L wanted to leave it but I was afraid the dogs would knock it off. It look liked a drive in theatre in our bedroom. It was so funny!

I think that is most of the funny things that happened this week. If I think of more I'll update this post and add more! I hope you all had a great week and laughed as much as I did!!

Sweet Puppies

So this post is dedicated to our sweet puppies. I watched the movie Marley and Me tonight. WOW what a sad movie. I have had it on my ipod to watch for a while now but didn't want to watch it while we were traveling (don't really want to be crying on an airplane watching a movie!) Anyways, yes I did cry. As most of you know we love our dogs. They are our children. This movie hit close to home. Not that any of our dogs are not doing well, but just thinking about getting to that point where dogs get sick and old, makes me so sad. You better believe I'll be loving on all my babies more after watching this movie. Man, I still can't believe how sad the movie is. If you haven't seen it just be prepared, especially if you are a dog lover. Filson sitting pretty outside. He loves to be outside! He would stay in the pool all day if we let him!

Bo got stung by a wasp (well he was actually trying to eat it!) but that is why his lip is so big on the right side. I felt so bad for him, but he looked so cute and silly! Love that boy
Phoebe with her Christmas present. She is guarding it from the rest of the dogs


So if you watch the movie make sure you have some tissue! It really is a good movie, even though it is super sad, it has a good story line! I am so thankful for my lovey dogs! Going to give them hugs now! =)

FCA Banquet


This past week we attended the FCA State Banquet. Michael Oher was the main speaker. I read the book about him and the Blindside before the movie came out and just loved it. We watched the movie a couple weeks ago and I thought it was wonderful. What an awesome story he has and it is so neat of him to share it at the banquet. First Mark Clayton introduced him. He played at OU before going onto the NFL and now plays with Oher in Baltimore. They did a sort of Q & A seesion for Oher. It was really good. What he has accomplished in his life is pretty amazing. I do hope that he doesn't stray from doing so good though. So many people look up to him. That has to be a hard position to be in, but I hope he doesn't take it lightly. One thing I thought was funny that he talked about was, he actually went to see the movie The Blindside with some of his buddies. He bought a ticket and went. No one even recognized him. I think that'd be so crazy to go sit in a theatre with some friends and watch a movie about your life. I'm sure it was a little strange. The banquet was really good. The food was delicious and the speakers did a great job! I am glad we got to go!

Easter Sunday

L and I on Easter Sunday after lunch

On Easter Sunday L and I went to church and met a friend there and then we all went to my parents house for lunch. We have started attending a new church and this past Sunday was the official launch. There were SO many people there, it ended up being standing room only. It was such an awesome thing. The service was incredible. It was such a good start to Easter Sunday. After church we came home and I made green bean bundles and corn flake chicken and then we headed to my parents. There were 19 of us at my parents for lunch. We had delicious food! Prime rib, chicken, fried quail, okra, deviled eggs apple pie and the list goes on! It was so good! After lunch all of the kids did an egg hunt in the front yard. It was so fun to see them running around and having so much fun. The big kids got involved too because there was money in some of the eggs. They were being pretty funny! It was such a great time to reflect on what Jesus did for us and to spend time with family. The weather was amazing. L and I cooked out that evening and went fishing. We had an awesome day.

Fun Week and Good Friday

I can't believe it is already April, summer is just around the corner. We are doing a Biggest Loser Challenge at Curves and it ends the 1st week of June and that is in like 8 weeks! SO CRAZY! I need to get on the ball with my weight loss, so I can win! =)

This past week my sister, my mom and one of my friends went to see Taylor Swift. Once I get my pics uploaded I'll post. The concert was so good. We had a blast. We ate at the Melting Pot before (I know so not good for dieting!) and then went to the concert. Taylor Swift is so stinking cute and just has so much fun performing. She put on a VERY good show!

L and I tried a new restaurant in town the other night. It is a update of the "pub" so it has pub food but nice pub food (does that make since?) There are burgers, bangers and mash, homemade pretzels with fondue, nachos and fish and chips. I had bangers and mash and L had the pulled chicken nachos. They were both SO good!!

Good Friday is such an neat day, being able to read in the Bible about what Jesus did for us to live every day. I have been reading through the book of John the past couple of weeks and reading about Jesus' last days and suffering just so I can live my life is such an overwhelming thought. God letting his only son suffer for me is so mind boggling. I am so not deserving of that, yet they still love me and accept me. Easter is such a special time of the year. Reading through the book of John and knowing the things that happened to Jesus and rising again on Easter Sunday, is so amazing. What an amazing God we have. The past month has been a really good time for L and I. We have gotten back into reading our Bibles and praying together and having quiet times. Also we have started going to church again. It is a refreshing time for me. God is so good and getting deeper into his word and closer to Him is such an amazing thing. I hope you all have a wonderful Easter and remember what we are celebrating. The rise of Christ our Lord.

This weekend should be a lot of fun for our household. Tonight L's bro is coming home from school for the weekend, tomorrow some family friends from Missouri are staying at my parents and then Sunday we will go to church and then like 20 of us (family and friends) are all going to eat lunch at my parents. It will be a fun packed weekend and I can't wait!! Next post I'll have some pics for you!! (It's hard for me to not post pictures, but I'll try it!)
