David is ONE! May 11, 2012

David turned 1 on May 11! He is such a joy. He loves to eat - so far he's eaten pretty much everything I've offered. I love his eyelashes & his perfect little eyebrows :-) He has four teeth. At his 1 year appointment last week he weighed 18lbs, 10oz - 5th percentile. I can't remember his height but I think he was around the 20th percentile :-) He is so happy most of the time & thankfully, very easy-going. His favorite activity seems to be following Kate & Michael around the house & watching their every move :-) He started pulling up this week too! 

10 Years!

Andy & I celebrated 10 years on May 19th! On Saturday night our sweet neighborhood friend, Heather, babysat our kids so we could have a date night. We ate at The Mantel - a yummy restaurant in downtown OKC. It's been a wonderful 10 years & I am so thankful!! 

Beautiful Orchids from Andy - 

 Michael & Kate wanted to be in our photo :-)

Summer is Here

 Michael's last day of Pre-K - he cried when I picked him up. He has loved his teachers & school. He only missed 1 day the entire year!

 Michael & Kate ran into the kitchen & said, "Mommy! We're deer!" So clever :-)

 Michael's last soccer game was Saturday - his team won & Michael scored 4 of the goals! It has been a very successful first season of soccer for him & I see lots of soccer in our future. He LOVES it!! 

 Michael's Pueblo hut that he made at school

Michael & Kate definitely have their moments, but lately they have been playing together pretty well. This week they have been taking vacations - their vacations are always on the first landing of our staircase. They take all their "friends" (stuffed animals), pillows, blankets etc on vacation. I love their creativity!!

David is ONE!!!

On Saturday we had a little party to celebrate David turning ONE. Really can't believe it - this has been a fast year. We love this little guy so much & thank God for him!

Michael & Kate were so excited to celebrate David's birthday. Although it was funny, Kate kept telling everyone, "Today is my birthday!" I love how seriously David is studying his cupcake in the bottom right pic :-)

There is no question - He LOVED his cupcake! 

 Some present-opening help from Big Brother

  Now I just hope David keeps his sweet baby cheeks just a little longer...

Michael's Pre-K Graduation

 On May 8th, Michael's school had a music program & Pre-K graduation. Mommom was in town & got to come! We loved our evening including her :-) After a sweet program (tears) we celebrated with some of our favorite Mexican food - Poblano Grill. 

 The 2 Pre-K classes performing their songs.

 Michael has LOVED his teachers this year - Ms. Patricia above, and Ms. Kiley below. He keeps telling me that we need to ask them for a map to their houses so that we can visit them this summer :-)

Michael with his sweet friend, Zachary, who we've carpooled with this year.

Vegas!

We had a fabulous vacation to Las Vegas last week - 5 days - sleeping in - eating yummy food - great company - seeing the sites. We stayed at Caesar's Palace & had so much fun traveling with our friends, Jonathan & Daree. 

One of our favorite meals - Olives in the Bellagio - we ate as the sun set & watched the beautiful Bellagio fountains.

Ready to see Cirque Du Soliel, The 'O' Show - AMAZING!!!!

One morning we took a limo ride to Hoover Dam - also amazing.

I tried on this Oscar de la Renta gown - $12,000 price tag. WOW!!! 

We ate a delicious steak dinner at Homestead Steakhouse in Caesar's Palace.

I think the lobby of the Wynn was my favorite - gorgeous REAL flower balls hung everywhere. And it smelled heavenly.

Dale Chihuly is one of my favorite sculptors so I really enjoyed seeing his work in the Bellagio
