I am going to try to be better. We had a beautiful Christmas filled with almost all the things that I love: family time, LOTS of food, presents and daddy being home from work for a week and a half. That situation is coming to a screeching halt tomorrow morning and I think I am in some sort of mourning/denial today. He has been such a help and it is times like these when I wonder why it wasn't in God's plan for us to win the lottery so he could stay home all the time. But I digress......</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I spent most of yesterday feeling so happy, appreciative, hopeful and grateful that I didn't quite know what to do with myself. I am declaring 2012 the year of doing BIG things. I have so much hope and excitement in me for what this next year will hold for our family and I have decided that it must be God tapping on my shoulder and trying to tell me that this is the year to dream big and push forward because I am beyond excited to get this year going and I'm not normally quite THIS excited for a new year. So, look out world. Gina Ousley is going to be doing some great things this year. Now I just have to figure out what they are:)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy New Year and wishing great things for all of you!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">much love,</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It's Me.....Aiden<div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlE4XxaCAVuAjvRMhTbbi0RrrHLyvyJJy-5xrnA3CcV8IJldzQHN9qsZxRcMRwCAC0RIjJar8ZWOF3FSedkSp9RM8dbxBgmN3sSFegEU6jvUYrc_Vk3MR4kBBUGarkEiBLfbXJgwbJQrs/s1600/042.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213px" kca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlE4XxaCAVuAjvRMhTbbi0RrrHLyvyJJy-5xrnA3CcV8IJldzQHN9qsZxRcMRwCAC0RIjJar8ZWOF3FSedkSp9RM8dbxBgmN3sSFegEU6jvUYrc_Vk3MR4kBBUGarkEiBLfbXJgwbJQrs/s320/042.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Most days Aiden will say at least one thing that leaves me either laughing hysterically or scratching my head. He has been on quite a roll these past few weeks.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Exhibit A: We were playing in the floor and all the sudden he lets out a deep sigh and puts his head in his hands. I say, "What's wrong, Aiden?". He replies, "Mama, I been workin' a lot of years and I'm really getting tired." Poor guy. He's going to be worn smooth out by the time he's 9.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Exhibit B: The very next day, we are rushing around trying to get out the door for school. Just when I think I've got them heading to the car, Aiden stops and sits down on the stairs, again with his head in his hands and lets out a deep sigh. "What's wrong, buddy?", I say. He replies, "Mama, all this playin' and huggin' on bubba (Miller) is really wearing me out." </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Exhibit C: Last week, Aiden got in trouble and I told him he couldn't go outside to play with all the kids on the street. This was apparently cruel and unusual punishment because I have never seen him so upset or work so hard to get around something. He starts trying everything he can to persuade me to let him go outside, but I am sticking to my guns. He is begging, pleading, promising, getting angry, pouting, pouring on the charm, loving on me--EVERYTHING. Finally, he relents.....or so I thought. A few minutes later, he comes back to me and says, "Mama, Jesus told me that it's ok if I go outside and play." "Oh really?" I replied. "Yes, He came and told me that it was ok." I said, "Well, Jesus also says that you should mind your mommy and daddy," I told him. He thought for a few seconds and then says, "No....he didn't tell me that, He just said that I could go out and play." Oh my. What am I going to do with this kid? He is too smart for his own good--especially when he's trying to get something he wants. And all this time I had no idea my son had Jesus on speed dial for when he is being punished! </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Exhibit D: He also does things that make me laugh. For example, I sent him upstairs to put on his shoes so we could leave the house. He was up there for a while and when he came down, I saw that he had changed his entire outfit--head to toe--and decided that this was what he needed to wear to the grocery store:</div></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Finally to the age to "retire" like he so very much deserved. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">He was the rock of our family. He was a happy, amazingly intelligent, handsome, funny, witty, story-telling man who lived every day for his family. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I will never forget the day that forever changed our lives: March 26, 2009. After the doctor came in and told us the news, I have never felt so scared and helpless in my life. I cried for what seemed like forever and then they came to tell us that dad was awake from his procedure. I pulled together all the courage I could muster, wiped the tears from my eyes and put on the bravest face I could so he wouldn't see how scared I was. After a few minutes, he started talking about the night that his mom had lost her battle with cancer. He told us that after she died, he didn't know what else to do, so he went to work. I now realize that he was trying to tell us that it was ok to be sad, but you have to keep going. My dad gave me so many gifts in life, starting with marrying my wonderful mother. But I think the greatest gift he ever gave me was just to live, and to let me watch him do it. And in the end, he also showed me what it truly means to face all of lifes challenges, including death, with dignity and courage.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">At one point during his remarkably brave and courageous battle, I asked him if he was scared. His reply was simple. He said, "No, honey. I'm not scared. I'm just so grateful for you, your mom and your brother." So today, that is what I am going to try my best to remember. He may not have had anywhere near as many birthdays as I wish he had, but while he was here, he really lived and he loved his life and all those who were in it. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

He's going to our church one day a week this year. I may have waited and started him next year, but Aiden's favorite teachers from when he was 2 are the teachers for this class and they really wanted Miller, so after some coaxing, I agreed. Truth be told, I could use some time to get some stuff done! Let's just say that Miller's favorite things to say right now are "Hold you!" and "NO!". That combo doesn't allow much time for me to get stuff done:). I was a little worried about how he would react to me leaving him. My fears were totally unfounded, to say the least. Miller was excited about going to school and he was workin' it for the camera! But first we had to take big brother Aiden to his school:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Then it was off to South Tulsa Baptist for Miller's first day. I told him mama wanted to take his picture in front of his school and he replied, "GO!". That's what he says these days instead of saying yes when he wants to do something. "Miller, do you want to go play?" "Go!" "Miller, do you want to go outside?" "Go!" "Miller, do you want to read a book?" "Go!" So precious.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I put his backpack on him, which he was really excited about and he stood there in front of the church posing for pictures for at least 5 minutes. Both of my children are hams for the camera. I have no idea where they get that from. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHy8SGn8mBSxVVHZMf7pvb9B3i7IZNYi6E1shcQiKa3Aevto-fb0Hyjck1mlBApwrluHwa2gtyJdUY1vsDbU25cDYqUhgte2Ep6JdAZM6ch_XA1kOpH9RnGIL_CwWK4wZf15gyQATdmcg/s1600/024+%25283%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213px" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHy8SGn8mBSxVVHZMf7pvb9B3i7IZNYi6E1shcQiKa3Aevto-fb0Hyjck1mlBApwrluHwa2gtyJdUY1vsDbU25cDYqUhgte2Ep6JdAZM6ch_XA1kOpH9RnGIL_CwWK4wZf15gyQATdmcg/s320/024+%25283%2529.JPG" width="320px" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> After I got several shots of him in front of the church, I told him it was time to go inside. He started walking in like he owned the place, so I decided to just roll with it--taking pictures all the way. He walked straight in and went right into the classroom that we go to every week. He didn't understand when I told him this wasn't his class!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I stayed for a few minutes and he let me leave without so much as a single tear. I guess the crying on the first day is for the mamas. My little baby is growing up. I am so happy and sad about that all at the same time. It is such a joy to watch, but I know there will come a day when he won't need me so much anymore. And I just don't know what I'll do with myself then. I love you Bubba!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The sun was shining, the birds were chirping and the air was the perfect temperature. I woke up, casually got dressed, fed everyone a nice family breakfast, got them dressed and off we went out the door to Aiden's first day of school.............NOT EVEN CLOSE!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I woke up to Scott telling me "we have a problem". The problem was that the torsion bar on our garage door had completely broke in half and my car was trapped inside the garage. Fortunately for us, he had gotten his car out to go to the gym this morning and it didn't break until he tried to open it when he came home. So, we tried to get the door up and it was not going to happen. On to plan B.....switch the car seats to his company car, throw clothes on the kids, beg and plead for Aiden to eat breakfast (who promptly throws it in the trash as soon as I turned my back), throw everything together while literally running through the house trying to get it all done, force my child to pose for pictures, then put them in the car as fast as we can and off to school. It was at this point that we got behind a person on Yale who was going TWENTY FIVE MILES AN HOUR!!! Oh my. My dad always, and I do mean always, used to say to me "pre-planning prevents a poor performance". Well dad, I pre-planned, then I re-planned and then I planned again and sometimes life just creates chaos when it's the most inopportune time. Especially when you have small children. So, I didn't get all my fabulous first day of school pictures that I wanted and the only one I got of me with Aiden was the one I took myself of us hunched down next to the car right before we got in it. But I was there. And when I forgot to hug him goodbye because I was trying to hurry for Scott to be able to get to work, I went back. I hugged him tight and told him to have the best day and that I couldn't wait to hear all about it when he got home. And it made him smile. That was all that mattered. So here is our crazy morning in pictures, although I'm sure you can't tell by looking at them all the chaos that was going on. And I hope that sweet smile at the door is all I remember of this day in twenty years when I tearfully look at these pictures.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was a crazy two months of construction right outside our bedroom door every morning at 7 am, but I think the end result was worth it. (More on that later because I PROMISE I am going to take pics tomorrow and post them asap!) Back to the party......have I mentioned how blessed I am with wonderful friends? Well, I am. They are the best friends a girl could ask for. Most importantly, they are always there for me in good times and have supported me through some bad times. Here are just a few pictures from the party. I am so sorry for those who I didn't get pictures of! But I did want to share the pictures I had:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisP2sr-H4uEKwKPxvV-OYgJcRD_4arqybG5FuYaSryhHM4yU7WKnkthwUzIHI1ZCKx8TosFFISCrMm4h0qo7Tw-70sWNvNlinvRw6qNmvFvDCemJy6ZQhVj4TAdHTwoBUZhaLjcKtoCKI/s1600/041.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" qaa="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisP2sr-H4uEKwKPxvV-OYgJcRD_4arqybG5FuYaSryhHM4yU7WKnkthwUzIHI1ZCKx8TosFFISCrMm4h0qo7Tw-70sWNvNlinvRw6qNmvFvDCemJy6ZQhVj4TAdHTwoBUZhaLjcKtoCKI/s320/041.JPG" width="213px" /></a></div><br />

So when my friend Stacy called me in July and asked if I would run in the Bedlam Run with her, I was terrified....and excited. I made myself a promise when my dad died that I was going to challenge myself to do something that I would have thought was impossible and then I was going to do it. The thing I came up with was running a 5K. I have been going to the gym, but I hadn't been running because it completely wears me out. Again.....I am NOT a runner....at all. So, when she asked me to do it, I immediately agreed in an effort to force myself out of my comfort zone. In doing so, I proved to myself that nothing is impossible. And not only did I finish the race, but I finished in the top half! 120th out of 306 runners. Not too shabby for my first time. I hope my kids will read this one day and see that even if you try to set what you think is an impossible goal for yourself, not only can you meet it, but you can exceed it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We had a pretty low key Fourth of July this year. We took Aiden and bought some fireworks and set them off in the cul-de-sac. The boys had a great time watching the pretty colors and Miller wasn't afraid of the loud noises at all. He yelled "Mo!" (more) After it got dark, we put Miller to bed (because I am such a sleep Nazi with my kids) and Grammy J came over so we could take Aiden to see a fireworks show. Grammy's house backs up to a golf course, so we just parked in her driveway and walked out onto the course. We followed the cart path until we were close enough to the club house to see the show. We all sat down in the grass. It was dark. It was quiet and it was peaceful. Once the fireworks started, Aiden was cuddled up with his head on my stomach and his legs across his daddy. It was such a beautiful moment. And then the sprinklers went off and shot me straight in the face. Oh well....it was beautiful while it lasted!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

It was a cowboy themed party and it was so much fun! Last year, Grammy J bought Aiden a pair of cowboy boots and he practically wore them out. When he outgrew them, we literally had to hide them from him because he would still cram his poor little foot into them. So when we got the invitation to this party, I thought it would be the perfect time to go buy him some new boots that would last him through the winter. The only problem was that I was busy preparing for Aiden's party. So I sent Scott to buy them. Big mistake people. Daddy loves his boots and he knows a lot about them. Needless to say, daddy came home with a REALLY nice pair of boots for Aiden. And they will probably only fit him for 4 or 5 months. Oh well, they are adorable! He saw the box and of course had to put them on immediately. With his pj's and his daddy's old cowboy hat from when he was little that Nana and Pawpaw found. Precious!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So, when he asked for a Spiderman party, how could I say no? Scott took off work that day and we took him to a movie. We did it for the first time when he turned two and now it's become a bit of a tradition. We took him to see Cars 2. It was going pretty well until he stood up and said (quite loudly), "this is boring and I'm ready to go home." Everyone's a critic. I have to say, the humor was a little more geared to the parents in the audience than the kids. At least what we saw of it:) Later that day, we went to Tulsa World of Gymnastics for his party. Until this year, I have always had his parties at home. This is DEFINITELY the way to go! We had pizza delivered, so all I had to worry about was bringing the plates, napkins, cups, cake and drinks. It was fabulous! They were having such a great time playing that I hated to make them stop and watch Aiden open presents. So, we opened them all when we got home. I think this was his best party yet!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If you're wondering what I'm doing right now, I am sitting here with tears in my eyes looking at how little my sweet Aiden once was. He came into this world at 7 pounds and 11 ounces and 21 1/4". A mere 4 years later, he is 45 pounds and 44 1/2". Yes, that is the size of an average six year old. Words can't even describe how wonderful these last four years have been with you. You showed me a kind of love that I never knew existed before I was a mother. You make me laugh, cry tears of joy, sing, dance, play and be silly, challenge me and teach me more than I ever expected. As I said a few posts ago, I wouldn't change a thing because every road lead us to you my sweet boy. God had a plan for us to be the parents of Aiden Christopher Ousley and I am so glad I trusted His plan. He gave me you. And you have been a blessing to us from the moment you were born. Aiden, I hope you know how much your mama loves you. No one will ever love you more, fight for you, encourage you, help you, pray for you, or try harder for you than I will. My precious child.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Here are a few facts about you at four: You<span style="background-color: white;"> love Spiderman and</span> any other super hero (including daddy!). You are learning to write your name and pretty much have it down. You can count to 24 in English and 10 in Spanish. Your favorite book is a $1 Spiderman book I got on the bargain shelf at Target. You love to dress yourself and on the few occasions when you come down in something that doesn't match, you laugh when I tell you your shirt doesn't go with your pants and run back upstairs to change. Somehow (DAD!) you think people eat ice cream almost every day. You are one of the happiest kids I have ever been around. You can make a friend in two seconds flat. You say hello to almost everyone we encounter and ask their name. You are SO outgoing! You already show a kind heart and a caring for other people--one of my favorites of your qualities! You like to sneak food out of the refrigerator and hide to eat it. These are just a few things about you at four. I'm sure I could go on and on!</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Thank you God for this beautiful and amazing boy!</div><div align="center"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Aiden also went to a summer music camp at our church. The theme was "The Truth Trail" and they learned about God and how to play a few instruments that they made in class. After the last day, they had a recital for the parents. A few of my friends from church were his teachers and I was really nervous about Aiden behaving himself during camp. (He has a habit of sometimes getting overly excited about things and not paying attention!) So, when not one, but two of his teachers camp up to me in the hall at separate times to tell me how impressed they were with how he listened, his manners and how sweet he was, I was such a proud mama! He did such a great job in all three of his classroom performances. My favorite on was when they sang Jesus Loves Me and did the sign language to go along with it. Precious in His sight to be sure.</div><br />

I had a lot of anxiety about it for several reasons. 1. It was from 9-3:30 and that is a LONG day for a 4 year old. 2. I didn't know anyone who worked there. 3. They had swimming lessons every day and I wouldn't be there while he was in the water. 4. He didn't have any friends who were going the same week I was sending him. Yikes. I second guessed myself a million times, but I did know several people who had sent their kids there and LOVED it. So we gave it a shot and I am so glad we did. It was so much fun for him with swimming, gymnastics, art class and lots of play time. Let me just tell you pretty much the only thing you need to know about this camp. Aiden was asleep at 6:30 after the first day and slept until 8:00 the next morning. Oh my word. What did they do to these kids? I have never...NEVER seen Aiden worn out. Tired? Yes. Worn out? Never. He learned so much and had so much fun. We will definitely be sending him back next summer!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I think it's because they are so sweet, sleepy and snuggly and I just love any opportunity to cuddle with them. When we moved, I got them matching towels to go with their new star shower curtain. I have to say that the first time I saw them all wrapped up in those towels, I realized it was money well spent. Could they be any cuter?!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

The kids had so much fun eating pizza and jumping on my brother's bouncy house (thanks Uncle Mike!). Scott had medals for all the players and it was really neat for him to be able to give them out to everyone. Don't tell him I said so, but he's a big softy:)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />

I have heard there is a book about how to raise siblings without the rivalry. I will be checking it out soon. I really think that the relationship they have a kids will be the relationship they will have as adults and it's important to me that they get off to a good start. So far, they are enjoying a lot of the same things and Aiden is really sweet with his "baby Miller". And Miller is watching him like a hawk. He wants to be where Bubba is. If I say "I love you Miller," his reply is almost always "I love Bubba." Dear Lord, Please guide me in how to keep it that way.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

But he LOVES his cousins. We aren't talking about loving them in a normal way where he is happy to see them. We are talking restraining order love. I'm pretty sure he would move in with my brother and sister-in-law if they asked him. Note to self: remind Michael and Carissa to never joke about him coming to live with them or he will have his bags packed in about 2 minutes flat and run out of my house before I can stop him. He asks for them all the time--ALL THE TIME. So, one day back in May when I told him Miss Emmy Grace was going to be performing in a dance recital and asked if he wanted to be my date, he was SUPER excited. I had daddy take a few pictures of us before we left:</div><div align="center"><br />

Aiden will be going to a new school next year. I had planned to send him to Pre-K at Bixby North but somewhere along the way, my mother's intuition told me that it wasn't the best choice for him to be in a public school with twice as many kids in one class. By the time I realized it, all the spots were full at our church where he has been going the past two years. Everything happens for a reason, right? There happened to be an opening still at Kirk of the Hills, which is a really good preschool. So, we are starting there this coming Thursday. My goal is to get all caught up on blogs by then so I can post his first day of school pictures soon after they are taken--and not three months later:)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, back to the end of last year. Does everyone remember their first crush? Well, I do. His name was Drew and he was a cute little blond boy in my Pre-K class. Every time I would see him, I would try to hide behind my mom because I just KNEW he knew that I thought he was cute. I am pretty sure Aiden had the same experience this year when he met Miss Avery. She is the adorable daughter of a girl that I knew way back in elementary school (small world!). They have been glued at the hip since the first day of school. He has told me he loves her and when I asked him if he was still my sweetheart, his reply was "mom, I can't be your sweetheart anymore because I'm a boyfriend now." Be still my heart. So, I did what any <strike>psycho</strike> good mother of all boys would do, and I told him that he would always be my sweetheart, no matter what and even if he was a boyfriend. I'm already planning what I'll do when the girls start calling the house. I don't have it fully worked out yet, but I know that it will involve some sort of accent and saying "no Aiden here" in broken English before hanging up on them. It's a good plan.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Aiden has worked really hard on learning to write his name this year. He doesn't totally have it down yet, but he can definitely do it if you have him concentrate on one letter at a time. I'm pretty proud of him for that, especially since he was bumped up last year with older kids and I don't think he would have even been working on writing his name in the class he should have been in. Go Aiden!</div><br />

<div align="center">On May 4th, Aiden's class had a Mother's Day Tea. As I sat there in his class, I started remembering back to the days when I wasn't sure if I would ever be a mother. All the anxiety and the helpless feeling I had wondering if I would ever experience a day like this. Remembering that time only makes times like this one that much sweeter. I will always have a special place in my heart for anyone struggling with fertility. It is a scary place to be. People have asked me "if you knew you were going to have trouble getting pregnant the first time, would you have started trying sooner?". The simple answer is "no". I wouldn't change a thing. If anything had happened any differently than it did, we wouldn't have Aiden. And I wouldn't change that for anything in the world. </div><div align="center"><br />

But the good news is that after this post, I will be able to move on to May! Between the move and these two crazy active boys, I just haven't been able to blog as much as I had hoped when I started this in January. But at least I am still trying:)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Easter was a fun time for us. I love the thought of getting Easter baskets put together for the boys, but the reality is that at this age it is a bit of a pain to find things to put in it that are something I want them to have (because let's face it, they already have WAY too many toys) and something that will fit into a tiny basket. When they are older, it will be easier because I can just fill it with money and candy, but for now, they don't need the money and I don't want to give them too much candy--or any at all:) Aiden is seriously into Spider Man right now, so he got a Spider Man basket. I thought they turned out pretty cute:</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We also had an Easter egg hunt inside our house. We have done that the past two years in a row because it has been raining and too icky to do it outside. I have to say, it's a pretty good alternative for someone like me who will do anything I can to avoid getting up early to hide Easter eggs.</div><br />

It is always a fun weekend for us and especially for Scott because he gets to talk about the old days with all of his buddies that he played with a new friends who played in previous and later years. As always, Nana and Papaw were along for the ride with us and so graciously volunteered to watch the kids while Scott and I went to all the events. The weekend always kicks off with a golf tournament, so Nana and I decided to take the kids to the Sam Noble Museum of Natural History while Scott was off playing golf. It was a big hit with all of us!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

So, when Aiden was born, we hired a wonderful <a href="http://www.ashleyannphotography.com/blog">photographer</a> to take his picture every three months. She is so talented and we have a little over a hundred pictures of Aiden from birth to 18 months. That was when Ashley had her fourth(!) baby and decided to retire from photography. Then we hired my amazing friend <a href="http://www.quinciescreations.com/blog">Quincie</a> to take Aiden's two year pictures. She is amazingly talented also! That fall, Carissa decided to open her photography business. Who can turn down family discount photography?!?! Not this penny pincher! So, Carissa has captured all of our family pictures since then and I am so grateful for it. She is crazy talented and has given me some breathtaking pictures of my family. She is so good at what she does, she has even done several segments on The News on 6. I am so proud of her and so lucky to have her to capture my babies. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Now, about a year ago, I convinced my husband to buy me a very expensive camera so I could start taking family pictures myself. Then came baby #2......and there went my photography aspirations. But, after looking at my book of Aiden's one year pictures that has over 100 pictures in it, I fast forwarded to a day when Miller would ask me why his only had about 40 in it. And I decided to break out my camera and give it a try in my back yard at our old house. Once again, he must have known I was wanting to take his picture because he turned into Mr. Crankypants. But I did get a few good ones. Not great, but OK. I'm really hoping I can find time to take some photography classes in the near future so maybe I can improve my skills:) </div><br />

We have 3 in our immediate family: mine, Miller's and my mother-in-law, Dian's. It's the month of cake! I had a wonderful birthday this year. It started with a family lunch complete with my mom's famous Italian Coconut Cream cake and having these sweet boys serenade me with "Happy Birthday" I am so blessed to have such an amazing family. Between my brother and I, we have five of the most precious, smart and talented kids on this Earth and I just love every minute I get to spend with them. Here are my nephew, Easton, and Aiden singing to me:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I finished the day with a fabulous dinner with some of my friends. I am so blessed to have some of the best friends a girl could hope for. They have celebrated with me during happy times and helped me through some of the worst times of my life. I am so grateful to God, my husband and my daddy for making it possible for me to move back to Tulsa four years ago. It has been the gift that keeps on giving! We had sushi at In the Raw and watched the sun set. It was the perfect evening.</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">All of the craziness that has been going on this month has got me thinking about what is important in life. The most important things to me are God, my family and my friends but it seems like lately life has gotten in the way of these things being able to be a priority. My goal for May is to change that. Even if we aren't fully unpacked until winter, that's going to have to be just fine. During the packing process, I have packed up everything that isn't vital to our everyday life and I've been amazed at what few things I really need versus how many things I actually have. I'm thinking I need to just unpack the stuff that we really need and not worry about the rest. Life would be so much simpler without so many "things" that don't really matter.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;">Aiden started his first sport this year and we decided with all of his energy, it should be soccer. I was more than a little anxious about how all this would go, but so far it has been a wonderful experience. From the time Aiden was a baby, we could see that he was going to be a kid who loved sports. He loves being outside, has TONS of energy and he has amazing hand-eye coordination. Scott decided he wanted to be one of the coaches for the team and he has done such a wonderful job in leading and encouraging these kids. His first game was April 2nd and he has taken to it like a duck to water. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: center;"><br />
