Fall Wedding

We attended the wedding of a family friend this past Saturday. It was outdoors on a farm in Oklahoma and was absolutely beautiful. We spent the evening watching the young couple celebrate and seeing friends we haven't gotten to see much due to COVID. The girls had a great time dancing and talking to everyone.

Camping Time

 The girls didn't have school on Friday, so we decided to take them for their first real camping trip at Lake Tenkiller. It was really cold, so we had lots of sleeping bags and warm blankets in the tent. When we arrived on the first day, we took a hike around the lake and let them explore the area around the campsite. We were the only campers in our area so it felt like we were really secluded. Dad made us some good camp food while we were there too! In the evening we set up the iPad for the girls to watch a movie while we sat by the campfire for a bit. On our last day we were planning on going fishing in the morning, but mom had a terrible accident and nearly severed her finger with a hunting knife. Dad and the girls rushed her to the closest hospital then headed back to the campsite to pack up while mom got stitched up. The bad news with mom's injury was it was down to the bone, but fortunately did not sever any tendons. She will be in stitches for 2 weeks while it heals. We hated that our trip was ended earlier than planned, but up to that point, we all had the best time together. We're hoping the girls first camping experience wasn't to "scarring"!

Movies under the Stars

Dad bought a new projector and outdoor movie screen so we could spend our Friday movie nights in the backyard. We tried it out this weekend, complete with a nice fire, popcorn, hot chocolate and s'mores. In honor of Halloween we watched Hocus Pocus. We asked the girls about sleeping outside, but they declined. We decided it's time to take them camping for some outdoor activities!

Snickerdoodle the Hamster

Abigail's 4th grade class has acquired a class pet; a hamster named Snickerdoodle. Each weekend one of the kids in her class gets to bring Snickerdoodle home for the weekend. Abigail's teacher asked us if it was ok for her to bring the hamster home for the weekend and we approved. Dad and mom aren't super huge fans of hamsters, plus we both had the fear that the hamster would die on our watch!! Abigail and Allison are both lovers of all animals and spent the weekend playing with Snickerdoodle, creating obstacle courses for him and even letting him sleep on them. We were also wary of letting Ginger out in the living room when Snickerdoodle was out. Abigail put him in his hamster ball and Ginger didn't seem to mind the rodent. Snickerdoodle ended up rolling around Ginger while she laid in her bed! Now, Abigail is asking for a hamster for Christmas...oh great.

Daddy's 40th Birthday

This year was a special milestone for Dad. It was the big 4-0! The girls have been so excited to celebrate Dad's 40th and so has mom. His birthday fell on a Sunday, so we had a family dinner at our favorite restaurant. The girls each made him special homemade gifts and picked out something for him at the store. Mom planned a special getaway with his BFF. COVID did put a damper on the plans as originally, we were going to London to see Kings play, but that was snuffed out earlier this year. Plan B was an all inclusive, kid free resort on the beach in Puerto Vallarta. We stay for the week and had such an awesome time. Our room looked over the Pacific with a balcony that included a hammock and hot tub. The food was amazing and the resort was so quiet and secluded. It was so great to celebrate the special man Moises is and show how much we value him in our lives. Happy Birthday Daddy!

Much Love,

Abigail the Politician

Abigail is running for Student Council Historian this week so her campaign team has been busy making posters. The election is next Friday and she'll have to make a speech for the whole school. Unfortunately, they won't allow parents in the auditorium, but we'll get to watch her on the live stream. We're so proud of her for putting herself out there like this and she's already a winner in our hearts.

Much Love,

Labor Day

  We spent a quiet Labor Day at home this year enjoying our last weekend in the pool as it's about to turn too cold to go swimming. Dad made us some delicious food and we just about spent the entire time by the pool!
