Halloween

Well for the first time in a couple of years we did not have Buzz Lightyear in our house on Halloween. This year we had a little Spiderman!

It was a busy Halloween weekend starting with the always fun "Books Alive" at his school on Friday. This is a day where the teachers dress up as a book character and rotate classrooms reading the story to the children. The kids always get a kick out of seeing the teachers dressed up.

(An awesome home room mom may have brought them Krispie Kreme....)

Next up was pumpkin carving time.

Kenny took the reigns this year and drew a free hand Jack O' Lantern.

All done

Lastly of course was Trick or Treating.

Little Spiderman cleaned up and who knows how long it will take to eat all of this candy.

He had a great time in my parents neighborhood and saw a few scary monsters along the way!

He ended the night by stopping by Nana's house.

It was a great Halloween and now we're ready to start the next round of Holidays!

Fall Break Friday

I love Fridays. I don't have to work and today Kaleb was out of school!

Terri and I started the day with a nice short run. The weather has been perfect for running albeit really dark at 6:30!

After the run Kenny got to spend the day team buidling at Gilcrease. I'm pretty jealous of the day at Gilcrease...not so much of the team building exercise.

Since Kenny was gone for the day Kaleb and I got to spend the day doing whatever he wanted.

It was so good having a relaxed morning with just the two of us.

Why can't he be 3 again and stay home with me every day?

I enjoy seeing this in the morning way more than an office.

(Kaleb at 3)

For the afternoon he decided we would have a date.

Since he is a boy his desires were pretty simple.

Pizza for lunch

Seeing Toy Story 3 for the 6th time

(He captured an evil bunny by the way)

Obnoxious mid day dessert!

Thanks Aunt Terri for the yummy sundae!

It was a great day and now we're just gearing up for the big OU game!

Have a great weekend!

Carb Up

Random post for today. Lunch was awesome. I need more mid day carbs in my life.

Usually I have a bowl of veggies and protein...which is delicious but this double serving of noodles was much better.

So what if I had to tell my coworkers I was running a marathon after work?

Speaking of marathons the family is registered for the Tulsa Run!

In a little over a week I will have my first race.

I'm a little unprepared....a little bit of foot issues and a lot of laziness issues but I'm feeling optimistic.

Even with my dumb faith that adrenaline will pick up the slack of training I will gladly accept any words of wisdom :)

More exciting and adorable Kaleb will also be running his first big race!

2K with daddy so at least there will be good photo ops!

"Thundercats Ho!"

What a beautiful Saturday we had in Oklahoma today.

Perfect weather for some Flag Football.

Kaleb had his best game yet and loves having his dad as a sideline coach.

After Kaleb's football game he wanted to stay with my Mom and Dad so Kenny and I decided to make a day of it.

We saw Wallstreet 2 which surprisingly was pretty good.

Then we headed downtown to Yokozuna for some sushi and pad Thai.

Kenny's fortune cookie had an interesting message.

After dinner we hit up a new bar downtown. Max's Retro pub is an 80's themed bar full of awesome 80's arcade games. We enjoyed some Mortal Kombat and Ski ball while the Goonies played in the background.

This was definitely hipster heaven but I loved the randomness of having Thundercats playing on old school TVs above the bar.

It was a great weekend now we're just ready to knock out another work week.

I hope everyone has a good one!

Oh Fall...let me count the ways

It's officially fall and I am beyond ready.

Although I love the relaxed vibe of summer I am always ready for fall and all it brings.

Some things to look forward to...

Football season! Most importantly Kaleb's football season! It has been fun to watch and Kaleb actually want to go to practice. The kids are so cute to watch and I'm all for the exercise.

The boys on the field

Game Face...

Next up of course OU football!

We went to Norman this past weekend to meet up with some friends and watch the game. It was a close one but the Sooners pulled out the win. Saturdays in the summer can seem so pointless (since everyday is kind of like the weekend) but now that it's fall there is always a game to go to or one to watch.

With the Stone crew

With Lauren!

Fall produce...it's so pretty! Summer berries are great but my boys won't eat them so this weekend was a treat to stock up one some yummy organic fall fruits.

I have been putting this fruit in everything. Chicken and peach quesadilla, apple and PB sandwiches, and best of all pear and Brie crostini.

Hello, cardigans! Anyone who knows me at all knows my affinity for the button up sweaters. This year is no different and even though it's still in the 90's I have fully prepared by stocking up on some new cardi's.

I have my eye on this cashmere number unfortunately Tory is out of my price range this fall.

And lastly but I suppose most obviously cooler weather. Even with the temps in the 80's in the mornings my running times have greatly improved. The cooler weather makes such a difference and I think a few more weeks of running in cooler temps I will definently be ready for the Tulsa Run. My goal to keep up with Shelley :)

I hope everyone is as ready for fall as I am!

BounceU!

Over the weekend we had Kaleb's birthday party with his classmates.

We sucked it up and booked BounceU this year.

The kids had a blast!

It was great to meet some of Kaleb's classmates and they were all so sweet!

Boxing!

Obstacle Course

Toy Story Cake

With the presents!

(A little sweaty from all the playing)

Blowing out the candles!

It was a great party and Kaleb has loved all his gifts!

Thanks to all his friends who came out to celebrate with him!

Bye Bye Summer....

Wow August flew by!

The month came and went with plenty of fun and super hot weather.

A round up of the highlights...

For day 2 of Kenny away in Dallas Kaleb and I had a movie night!

It was great for me since Kaleb is usually glued to Kenny's side.

Coolest pizza ever!

Desert & Movie Time!

First Day of School! Kaleb started round 2 of Kindergarten this month and I am already confident it was the right decision to keep him back. He seems to be getting along better with kids closer to his age is very happy to have Mrs. Adams as a teacher again. His classmates seem wonderful and I am confident he will thrive this year.

Being silly before the first of school

With football season drawing near it was time for Kenny and his boys to have Fantasy Football weekend. This allowed me another Mommy Son movie night!

This time we watched Hook. I hadn't seen this movie in a long time and forgot it was kind of intense! Kaleb loved it and I love watching movies from when I was younger.

Hot cocoa time!

We were wishing it was cold outside...

Getting his pirate gear

Although it's always sad to have summer pass we will all be ready

for fall and some cooler temps!

Kenny is starting his last semester of grad school and very ready to

be ending his academic career!

I hope everyone had a great summer!
