15 Years Ago (July 1996), I:

3. thought I would play basketball forever.

10 Years Ago (July 2001), I:

1. was broken hearted. I had just broken up with my first true love and was trying to figure out who I was.
2. quit basketball. I hated busting hump and only ever being a  bench warmer.
3. was getting nervous about leaving my mom and sister to go to college.

5 Years Ago (July 2006), I:

1. graduated from undergrad and was getting ready to start my first full year as a real 3rd grade teacher!
2. was excited to finally be married after 4 1/2 long years of waiting.
3. praying for guidance on where we should go for Jason's law school education.

3 Years Ago (July 2008), I:

1. just found out that I was over 2 months pregnant with little Peanut.
2. was scared to death if we would be good parents.
3. started my master's degree in Education Administration.

1 Year Ago (July 2010), I:

 

1. celebrated the 4th with Katie and my little man at Lake Texhoma while Jason studied the bar.
2. was getting nervous about my internship to get my principal's certification.
3. got a new job teaching 6th graders at Ninnekah Elementary. (A blessing in disguise)

Yesterday, I:

1. realized my baby is a little boy.
2. ate my first real garden burger, and I didn't even miss the meat!
3. went swimming with Jase and Uncle Shelby.

Today, I:

1. am going to our good friend Zac's wedding rehearsal.
2. am hoping Jase will act okay with the half arse nap he will be getting.
3. going to be drinking a nice lambic this evening at rehearsal dinner.

Tomorrow, I:

1. will wake up extra early to get my 10 mile walk done before the day begins.
2. will have to wear a dress...eek!
3. will get to see my boys all decked out in tuxes! Can't wait to take pics!

In a week, I:

1. will be in school mode, full throttle.
2. will be putting the finishing touches on my classroom decorations.
3. will be trying to come up with a post schedule for my blog.

In one month (August 2011), I:

1. will be kicking booty in the weightloss department with all my Susan G. Komen training.
2. hoping the weather is cooler.
3. would like to get my office organized.

In one year (July 2012), I:

1. hope I’ll be done thinking about weight loss.
2. will hopefully be making money from my crafty hobby.
3. will be on a family vacation.

In five years (July 2016), I:

1. hope to have our second child.
2. will have built our dream house.
3. possibly be a principal.

Happy Friday, friends!

Family Fun for the Fourth

     Our Fourth of July weekend was really fun! Jason's older brother Bryon had his 30th birthday party in the boondocks Skiatook. They moved out in to the country so they had a HUGE party for his birthday complete with friends, food, and fireworks.

     Jase had a great time getting to see his cousins. This was the first fourth that Jase really knew what was going on. He knew there would be fireworks, but he had forgotten how loud they could be. I was taking pictures of him eating some ice on this hot day and caught his reaction to the first firework of the day:

     He decided it would be a good idea to keep his ears covered. I am surprised at how much he actually liked the loud booms. 

    

     Now, here is something I am not sure I agree with. My nephews are 5 and they were enthralled with lighting the fireworks. I don't think I was even allowed to light my own sparkler at that age. They were lighting some big stuff. Here is Bryon A. with a saturn missile! Uh I am still scared of these suckers.

     Here is my boy Conner. I was there the day he was born. I love him more than he knows. He is such a sweet kind hearted boy. He wanted to light the big fireworks too, but he was a little more cautious than his brother. 

The birthday boy.

Silly face...

My favorite boys :)

Sweet boy

     Jase got to watch the older boys play video games. He was really interested in what they were doing and followed them around all weekend like a little lost puppy :)

Aunt Amber

11 week old Memphis...Great Dane Puppy? YES please!!!

Bentley in his 4th of July best :)

Pyromania is the best word for what happened that night.

Brothers

     I love this picture of my hubby. He is so kind and I am so lucky to be his wife!

     Aunt Amber was very strict about keep her patio clean so when she gave Jase a Hawaiian Punch, she made him go sit on a rock by the tree to drink it. He got it everywhere!!! But he certainly enjoyed his first punch :) 

 

 

Matt and Conner

Sweet Ellie was scared to death of the fireworks. 

Cheers!
