Back from Seminar

I'm back from Dallas now and I had a great time. I missed Cooper and Dennis like crazy, though! Cooper had fun at Mamaw and Papaw's and learned a couple of cute little things while he was there, too. He can now "strum" his lip and is getting very good at playing peek-a-boo. It's too cute!

I had fun in Dallas. I love to go to Mary Kay events and I really learned a lot and was blessed to be around some wonderful women and hear a lot of positive, uplifting things. It's amazing to me, that you can go to a company function and see a woman who has become a millionaire in Mary Kay, get up to speak and the first thing out of her mouth is humble praise to God. I just love that about Mary Kay!

Not Too Much

We've just been trucking along with life the last week. Dennis and the guys were able to get a lot of dirt work done on our property last weekend, I plan to take some pictures so we can see the progress. I'm thinking about doing another blog for that "little" project. Sunday, we celebrated Dennis's birthday and our nephew, Tyecin's 8th birthday with a Rains family cookout.
I am leaving for Dallas for Mary Kay Seminar Sunday morning and will be back Wednesday night, so I will post about that when I return. I will miss my boys soooooo much!!

Cute Stuff

Yes, this is my child who wiggled out of his pants which are still laying in his bed! When I went into his room, he was really grinning and jumping up and down holding onto the side of the bed. (Yes, the bed is a pack and play with a mattress, the only thing we can fit in our temporary home) This is not the first time he has done this, I just happened to be able to get the camera before he got mad. Usually if he sees me, he wants out! The snot running from his nose is just a little bonus for you- hehehe. I just had to share, it made me giggle this morning.

By the way, I finally figured out how to make the links work for pictures and website links in posts, so the last couple posts are now linked. And, check out my little "Meez" waving- Thanks, Traci! She's way cuter than me, but I can pretend!

Happy Birthday, Hubby!

Today, my dear husband turned 32! Happy Birthday, Honey!



Cooper and I have been helping at Vacation Bible School at our church this week (at least, I have, Cooper plays in the nursery). We have a beach theme this year- "Surfin' Through the Scriptures" with the "Beach Be-attitudes" of "Be Obedient", "Be Kind", "Be Forgiving", "Be Bold", and "Believe".
You can see VBS pics taken so far, you'll see Cooper and I in there, too!

Happy Independence Day!

Let us remember today that our freedom has been and is being bought with a price. Don't take it for granted and don't forget that our country was founded on the motto, "In God We Trust",so let's trust Him.

This is the first time I've been to Fort Gibson Historic Site and it was really interesting and it was neat to know that so much had happened on that land and picture what it would have been like over 150 years ago. We didn't stay for the reading of the Constitution, it was a little warm to sit in the mess hall with a lot of people and no AC- I'm such a wuss!


Happy Independence Day!

A Few Things

June is almost over!! I can't believe how quickly the summer is going by! I haven't posted in a couple weeks, so I have just a few bits and pieces to post today, so here you are:

1. We found out that my Aunt Mary has stomach cancer and will be starting treatments very soon, Grangy (my Dad's Mother) is there with her in Wichita to help her while she's doing that. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. Also keep my sister and her family, too as they go through some family stuff.

2. Cooper is growing and changing so much every day! We went to visit Mamaw and Papaw at their cabin last week and Grandma and Grandpa visited us last night, so Cooper had lots of fun the last few days getting extra spoiled.

3. Dennis ordered our shop building on Saturday, but it looks like it will get here just before Cooper's birthday, so our new goal is to have our apartment ready by Thanksgiving or shortly after. I can't wait!!

Enjoy the pictures of Cooper!

Happy Father's Day

Cooper is feeling much better and we made it camping this weekend for Father's Day. We went to Tenkiller State Park, just about 45 minutes from here with our friends, the Willison's. We had fun just hanging out around the lake and Cooper loves to play outside in his little play yard we set up for him.
I hope Dennis has had a great first Father's Day! He is such a great dad and husband and I love him dearly.
Enjoy these pics of Cooper!
