12 years ago
My Dad let my BFF and I drive to San Antonio to see Aerosmith in concert. We were Seniors in high school. It was amazing and we couldn't remember where we parked after cause it was in this field. That was awful, like we cried. Well I was coming to town tomorrow to go to Mary Poppins and after some ticket shuffling Maddie was going to be joining us. So my amazing Dad called and asked if I wanted to come tonight and go to Aerosmith....which I so desperately did because I've been missing my concert life. So he bought some awesome seats and Dan, my dad, and I had a great time! Maybe next week I'll be able to hear!

Legacy.....
This past weekend was OC's Homecoming and I went to attend the Alumni Banquet on Friday night. OC presented my grandparents, along with the McBride's the Legacy Award. I'm pretty sure working anywhere for 60 years and counting should equal a Legacy, or possibly more. Or maybe when you send all of your children, they meet their spouses, and a good number of your grandchildren to the same school that equals a Legacy. The banquet was very sweet and it made me think about how proud they are of OC. How little OC was when they arrived to the small college at Bartlesville and how much it has grown from the 7 original buildings at the campus now. I know my grandparents have poured their heart and soul into that place and they are well deserved for some recognition. (Although you know they didn't want it.) I think it is great for OC to remember where it began and to always recognize the people that have paved the path for what it is and stands for today. Although there has been a lot of changes at OC I hope it always remains close to the churches of Christ and doesn't stray from what it is too much. I also hope although OC may always ask for money, that as alumni we continue to support the campus and it's cause as best we can. OC is a special place, I hope it remains that way forever. The kids got to walk in the parade with Mama Jo, Papa Staff, and my Dad on Saturday. I love these pictures and I know I'll cherish these moments my kids get to spend with their great grandparents forever!
Pumpkin Carving and Halloween parties
We carved pumpkins and I was determined to put Kellyn in a pumpkin.....she was determined not to like it! Cooper and Maddie were excited to carve the pumpkins and mom and dad were excited to eat some seeds....Kellyn was just excited to not be in the pumpkin!
Then on Halloween Grandma came into town to go Trick-or-Treating with Cooper's class at 8:30 this morning. They visit "retired friends" it was the cutest thing ever! Then they had their party after, so we stayed for it. Maddie was not happy about leaving school!
Then we went to visit our "adopted families" in Newkirk and met up for a huge Halloween bash, where we left with friends to trick-or-treat! Cooper says that it was such a fun Halloween party....and Maddie got a new Newkirk Cheer uniform out of the deal, so with that and the loads of candy we brought home everyone was happy!
Now I will try to keep myself from eating the candy we bought to hand out, since obviously we weren't home at all! Hope everyone else had a great Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch
A couple of weeks ago Cooper went to a Pumpkin Patch on a field trip. The girls and I could've gone, but I thought better save it for when Dad can go. Since it's Fall Break here, we went up yesterday for a fun filled hour. It was a cute little pumpkin patch at Quaill Valley Farms, such a cute even center too. So if you need a place in Kansas to have an even, I'd recommend going there! Here are a few pics of the fun, and a couple of all three kids together, well the best of the 15 thousand I took trying to get a decent shot of all of them.
My new friend.....
So I've been keeping a few Williams and Sonoma gift cards, and I finally made a purchase....
My tassimo died, and I was on the verge of buying another machine; then Starbucks had to introduce this beauty! So with my gift cards and signing up for a credit card (that I'll never use); I got it for half price and cheaper then any other one cup brewer I was looking at. Plus, it really tastes straight out of a Starbucks cafe! So way to go Starbucks for monopolizing my coffee addiction....those are some smart people like them or not!

Friends!
Last week was a little bitter sweet for me. I was so excited because my friend from college and her 2 girls were coming up for most of the week, but I had to start the week by watching another life long friend say goodbye to her baby girl. It just breaks my heart when I think that I've watched 2 friends watch their babies go home to God. But I rejoice knowing they will never know the bad and troubles of this world.
So like I said my friend brought her two girls up for the week because her husband is out of town a lot. Our girls are about the same age, so the 4 of them had so much fun playing. I think it made Kellyn learn how to crawl, she's everywhere now! Newkirk Elementary School had a carnival so she and I took 5 kids to that, it was so much fun! We look forward to their next visit!
