Easter 2011

This year's Easter was rather rainy.  But we enjoyed it just the same.  We ventured to a new church (we are currently looking for a church home) and went to Centenary Methodist Church http://www.lawtoncentenary.com/ here in Lawton.  We REALLY enjoyed and plan on going back as soon as we are done with my nephews baptisms the next two Sundays.

All in all, we had a great Easter service, hunt and dinner....

Day at the Zoo

Today the Jimmy and the kids went to the zoo on a field trip with the daycare.  There was HIGH hopes to see the new baby elephant, but she was still bonding with Asha.

Ben acting crazy as they were about to leave....

Til next time baby elephant, we can't wait to see you!

Rattlesnake Festival

This past weekend we journeyed out to what appears to be the last Apache Rattlesnake Festival.  This is our third year going, and we really enjoyed ourselves.

 The kids checking out the snakes in the snake pit...

This is when Blake went to touch the snake and moved towards him...scared the crap out of him!!!

My beautiful daughter picking her nose....

Ben and Blair on the rides...

Ben and Blair riding the ponies...and with the recent obsession with Toy Story, Ben was calling himself Goody and saying "Yeehaw" while Blair referred to herself as Jesse and her pony as Bullseye and said, "yodalayhehoo"

All in all, we had a good time at the festival. Sorry to see it go....



Charlie's Debut

RACE NIGHT IN LAWTON, OKLAHOMA!

 Thank goodness for Jackie and having some ear covers for the kids!

 Blake only wore them for this picture....

GO CHARLIE! NUMBER 41 OUT OF YUKON, OKLAHOMA!

Tonight the boys and I went to the Lawton Speedway to root on a friend of ours, more like family member, as he debuted his new and improved race car.  This was Ben's first time going, and he was, um, a little overwhelmed at first but really enjoyed himself.  Of course, Blake has been many times, so he knew the ropes.  I grew up at the race track with my mom and the Pybas Family, so it was definately like old times getting back together and hanging out and actually rooting for one of our own.  Ben and Blake plan on going again as soon as Charlie races in Lawton again...

Finally getting back in the groove of the blog....promise to update at least once a week!
