November 2020

 The presidential election finally came in early November. President Donald Trump lost to Joe Biden and proceeded to throw a lengthy temper tantrum claiming fraud/cheating/etc. 

Lily finally lost all 4 teeth that had been loose for ages. She continued to advance in tumbling and her handstand really improved. She gets so disappointed every time she gets hurt and exclaims "I just wish I could have one day without getting hurt!" I showed her a video of someone doing an aerial and she decided to just do them on the trampoline. She can't quite do it, but made a very impressive attempt!

November 2019

We are in holiday mode now with more and more happening each week.

Dale celebrated his birthday. He enjoyed cheering on the Sooners and Cougars in their football games. On our Thanksgiving trip to Albuquerque, he enjoyed lots of time to relax and read his book. He and the other partners at his firm got to spend some time at Top Golf in OKC.

November 2017

Happy Thanksgiving!

November was full of chaos and fun, and business in general. Kimball's ILO class got to go to the Museum of Osteology in Moore, and the girls got to join him.

December 2016

December flew by quicker than should be possible! Even with fewer events than we normally have in December, it felt like we were plenty busy. We started the month off by going to the Parade of Lights...

At the parade

After the parade, the boys got to meet Santa! Lily didn't want to go anywhere near him.

January 2015

I always do a mini-freak-out at the end of January because we are already 1/12th of the way back to Christmas! Once we got home from Albuquerque, we only had a few days until school started again.

Cameron lost his third tooth since Christmas and has the cutest gap-toothed smile!

I chopped off 8 inches of hair...so much easier!

Lily turned 6 months old and started eating solids. The boys were counting down the days until she could finally have real food, and not just Mom's milk.

We finally raked some of our leaves and the boys had a blast playing in them.

It snowed! Then it melted...

and Kimball was the Star Student at school.

Duke also ran away for the first time one night. We didn't tell the boys because we didn't want to ruin their day at school, and thankfully Duke came back the next day. He must have just chased a cat or something and laid down to sleep for the night. We missed him and were so glad to have him home.

Fall Leaves

Last year, Kimball begged me to rake a pile of leaves for him to jump in, so I did it while he was at school to surprise him. When he got home, his face fell because my pile wasn't big enough! He refused to jump in the leaves for the rest of the season.

This year, he declared it was time to rake, even though 70% of the leaves were still on the trees. After raking the whole front yard we finally had a pile big enough to enjoy and the boys played for ages!
