All over the place post, including 2 BIG annoucements!

This post is so all over the place. Kind of like our lives right now :) 

 But keep reading and you may learn about some BIG things going on in our fam right now!!!!

I love our sweet family. We're so content, just us three. Here we are at church, during Rodeo weekend.

O has some legit boots.

This amazes me. I'm still having bad headaches/migraines daily and often have to lay in bed all day. But God has healed me EVERY time right on time when we have church. He knows I need it.

CUTENESSSS

Warm weather is upon us! It's been nice and breezy all week. 

He's dying to jump into the pool. I'm excited for this summer because I know he'll get more into swimming.

Okay, does this photo make you a bit jealous??

What about this one?

Ah, and this...

My parents are relaxing in Jackson Hole all week. They deserve it.

But this is the photo that makes me just TOTALLY envious of them!!!! At the "Top of the World" cafe, they serve the most mouth-watering waffles in the universe. They drizzle this brown sugar-butter mixture over them and it's an explosion of yumminess in your mouth.

Announcement #1

(and it's an ENORMOUS one!!)

Can you guess?

What it may be?

It's official...

My brother made the OU football team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I asked his permission to post this because things can be SO flaky and up and down with this whole process, but this is FO REAL. Finally. For well over a year he has been working toward this goal, which honestly, was a very lofty one. But my brother, 19 years old, is the most focused, driven individual you'll ever meet. He has tunnel vision. Don't we all wish we had more of that at times?

I don't have time to go deep into the entire journey, but it's been one that has impacted our entire family and others around us. What a true testament to the mindset of never giving up! The odds were so stacked against Eric. But here he is...playing safety for OU. 

Now he knows he's starting from the bottom, but he has an outstanding opportunity to work his way up. Can you just imagine how this opportunity will affect him? It'll build character, strength, faith, confidence, teamwork, dedication...WOW! Is all I can say.

Right after we found out O'Ryan had to run to put this on. He was proud of his Ren Ren too.

Awkward pic #1. My mom and David wanted to see my new mouth appliance. This is what I sent them. You can see my new heat/ice pack there too.

Ta-da! Hopefully this is what can work some magic.

Spontaneous date night. Brett and I really needed to discuss some things ALONE, without interruption. So my amazing sitter/friend Mandy came to the rescue. O'Ryan LOVES LOVES her boys. She took them to a nearby park, while her oldest had soccer practice. 

Awkward pic #2. Maybe I shouldn't have posted this. Why can't we ever do those cute mushy "kissing" pics like other couples do? Lol.

 I died when Mandy sent me this. They were watching a movie together and the flash was kinda bright I guess. O'Ryan looks like he's miserable, LOL! But he seriously had a blast.

Jack and O playing.

I'm so random. I get it from my mom. 

The second I saw the cows near the gas station off 99 I quickly pulled off to check them out. We got out and it was a bit awkward. The cows were confused and just stared at us, which is really funny to me. I just love all animals. I was talking baby talk to the cows and O'Ryan finally said, "Okay... I'm going back in the car." I was like noooo but they're RIGHT here!! Maybe I'm more of a weirdo than random. I'm cool with that.

Cows, thanks for making my day.

(Almost forgot about Announcement #2!!)

Announcement #2

Brett got a PROMOTION! Way to go BABE!!!! 

I could go on and on about how he deserves this and he perfectly this new position fits him. It's an answer to prayer. I don't even remember his new title, but that doesn't really matter. (Field Supervisor, Director, GM-something?) In this position, he's able to utilize his God-given, natural talents more. I'm so proud of him. A couple weeks ago when it became official, I threw a mini-surprise party for him. I got him good :) He was definitely surprised. Love you B. You're the hardest worker and best leader I know!!!! You inspire me.
