Day 1 Trip Out West

I wish I could tell you about all of the wonderful shopping and sightseeing we did on this day...but then I would be lying! We arrived at the OKC airport at 5:30 in the AM. Our plane took off for Denver at 7:30.

We arrived in Denver and we were supposed to fly out at 11:30, but SURPRISE SURPRISE our flight was not delayed...but CANCELED!!! We stood in line at the customer service desk for a good hour to hour and a half to find out we would be leaving on a flight to Jackson at 7:30 PM. That means we would be stuck in the Denver airport for 12 hours! (With a 1 year old in tow)

We found time to shop...eat...read some magazines and catch up on the latest celebrity gossip...eat...walk...eat ice cream...run around on the moving sidewalks...and meet some interesting new people from Alabama. Jase decided he can be friends with anyone! :) 

I will edit this post later with pictures of Jase on his first airplane ride as soon as I get some from Uncle Shelby. Check back tomorrow for Day 2 of our Western adventure!

Busy days...

We are back from vacation! We had an amazing time.

The last few days have been super busy with me trying to get my new classroom ready. I start back to work on Monday and he kids will be back Wednesday. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. 

I got all of my vacation pictures edited and I can't wait to share them with you over the next few days, but first here is a small teaser.

We went to the Bar J ranch for a real chuck wagon dinner.

We had a guided safari through the Tetons and Yellowstone.

And we went to Cody to the Rodeo!

Come back for more!

XOXO

I plan on taking several pictures while we are gone so look forward to those! In the mean time here is a very pretty pic I have found on the net. Enjoy!

Papa and a Kiddie Pool...

I do believe Papa was proud of his grandson. He was so happy to see how much Jase has grown. He went to Wal-Mart and bought Jase his very own kiddie pool! 

Jase decided he liked it!

Papa taught him how to blow bubbles! Jase wasn't so sure about blowing them himself.

Papa also squirted water on Jase from a toy! They had all sorts of fun together!

Thank you Papa for my pool...I love it almost as much as I love you!

Mommy enjoyed every minute watching two of her most favorite boys have fun together. She can't wait to see them together again! 

XOXO

Road Trip!

This would have been a lot neater shot if my mirror was clean, but lets just say we got a "little" water on the way to Hot Springs...

Road trips...the glorious time in summer when you experience the wide open road with friends and family. Sometimes you have a set plan and schedule, and sometimes it gets thrown to the wind because of torrential downpours. 

My best friend Katie and I took my little boy Jase to Hot Springs, Arkansas to visit his Gran and Papa. We were all set to go!

All was well for the first hour or so of the trip...the the heavens opened up and unleashed their fury. It was raining so hard you could hardly see the front of the car, and what should have been a 6 hour trip ended up taking more like 8. Which was fine for the first 4 hours because this backseat driver was OUT!

He was actually a VERY good little boy. I can't believe he didn't pitch a fit the whole way...8 hours is a long time to be in a car seat.

I was enjoying the view...

and the company...

and the tunes...

 The beautiful scenery we experienced will not soon be forgotten.

Neither will the excitement of this little boy who was so happy to get out!

More from our trip to Hot Springs coming later this week!! Please leave a comment...send me some love...or hate...whatever moves you! ;)
