MckLinky Monday: Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day!

What does it mean to my family. Hmmm...Well this year its a little laid back! Braden went back to school after having a 13 day SNOW BREAK. His Valentine's Party has been postponed until February 25th. What is the school thinking with that one? At least I get to go buy everything 1/2 off or more for his party. Kaybrie missed her Valentine's Party at school on Friday, she was home with the Chicken Pox. I guess the "spots" started on Wednesday but were not confirmed by a doctor until Thursday night. Since she had been vaccinated, the pox were very mild and very unlike the old time ones that covered, itched, scabbed and caused fever. I did manage to grab Braden an iTunes card and Kaybrie a Valentine Barbie along with everyone a card finally when I ran into the grocery store after finding out Kaybrie had to stay away from everyone though. I mean really, after two snowstorms, 20" of snow and a sickness, holidays are really
not the first thing on your mind.

So, today is finally Valentine's Day, like I said Braden went to school, Kaybrie was allowed to go back to school, and I was also allowed to go back to work- yes, allowed! Working with infants, means that the childcare worker can't be a carrier either. Oh, and Jason had the day off- he worked Saturday!

So how did my Sweetheart and I celebrate our love for each other?

We exchanged cards!!!

(He went to Wal-Mart at 7:45 this morning)

He made me cry. Did he make you?

And of course he reads his first- we kiss, then I read mine- we kiss!

Now you know all the mushy stuff thanks to those nosy Housewives at The RHOK!! Don't you just love us?

Won't you tell us how you spend your Valentine's Day?

MckLinky Monday: Pet Peeves

So I'm on a search for my Top 5 Pet Peeves!

Hmmm....

"Pet peeves often involve specific behaviors of someone close, such as a spouse or significant other. These behaviors may involve disrespect, manners, personal hygiene, relationships, and family issues. A key aspect of a pet peeve is that it may well seem acceptable to others." - thank you Wikipedia!

If your drinking glass is empty, DO NOT rattle the ice at another person indicating to them to get you something to drink.

If you have idle time at work, find something to do. DO NOT work crossword puzzles while your co-workers are working around you.

Swimming serviceware- Yuck! After you serve your food, make sure the serviceware/spoon is safely resting on the side of the bowl or place it in a spoon rest.

Twitter. If you want me to retweet something or if I just do, leave me enough characters to retweet it so that all characters are included.

RT @Millionbookread: The winner of the 16GB #ipad is...@Jeff_Williams ! You have 24hr to send a DM to @Millionbookread with your contact inf

Our garbage service refuses to dump our cans if its not in a bag. Why? Why? Why? Especially, when they are the one knocking it out of my bag into my can! Arrgghhh....

Now its time for you to tell The RHOK your Top 5! Can you top mine?

The RHOK takes Full Moon

The Real Housewives of Oklahoma aka The RHOK took over the back tables of the Full Moon Cafe in Tulsa on January 28, 2011. The occasion? GNO and dueling pianos of course!

We met at 7, chatted, giggled and ate and then at 9 the playing, singing and silliness began! Lots of Johnny Cash, a baaaad version of Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar", a little Hokey Pokey, and a battle of college fight songs- yes I even got to call my Hogs-no one heard!

Today we housewives along with the readers who were there are sharing our pictures and experiences from the Full Moon RHOK Out on our personal blogs as well as The RHOK! Most of my pictures have already been posted on facebook. If you do not already "like" The RHOK Facebook site, please do. That is where we post all of daily posts and important information. It is also how we get the list to invite you personally to our RHOK Outs! Believe me we I have a lot of fun laughing at everyone and their crazy antics!

(I better be careful what I say because I know there are a few open mouth and non-tramp stamp shots out there somewhere)

The Housewives- missing Mrs. Sinclair and Mrs. Priss (in body- but if you look closely you can see Flat Baloney being held by Mrs. Albright)

The Dueling Pianos- these guys were great!

The Great Snowmageddon

January 2011 went out with a blast and we met February 2011 with nothing but WHITE!
13" inches of snow at our house! Schools across Oklahoma were cancelled before the clouds even had a chance to drop any onto the ground, that is how sure the forecasters were of this Winter Blast!
People are calling it a Snowmageddon 2011, LOL!
Might be, the car lots even shut down- Daddy Crow was called and told to stay home, guess the parts selling will have to wait until after the storm ;-)!

Jason trying to clear the garage so we can maybe get our cars out- no luck!

Part drift, part what he did manage to get shoveled and swept of the drive.

 

The shovel...

...yep, just a little over 13 inches- Yikes!

Wear Your Tiara & Gown

Kaybrie our little Princess, seven other little princesses and a grown up princess donned their tiaras and gowns on Saturday to celebrate her 4th birthday! Oh what pretty princesses they were and what a wonderful time they had playing together. I can only imagine what it would have been like had they had a grand ballroom and a huge castle with lots and lots of rooms to run and play in!

 Here she is before the party, she is doing this new tilt of the head pose for pictures thing with a no teeth smile!

 Our little Princess Aurora holding her Tangled Baby Doll

 The Birthday Princess and The Grown Up Princess- Kaybrie's cousin Ashley. The little girls all had their pictures made with the beautiful princess.

 Something was obviously very funny to Kaybrie in this picture!

 The princesses are checking out each others shoes, so cute and girly!

 One of Kaybrie's many gifts, this one was from us- an original Gerber Babydoll from 1979, it was in the box w/ tags still on it. (an Etsy find for $30- these dolls are not made any more and can be sold for as high as $200, I will blog about the importance of this doll later- stay tuned)

The cupcakes- Kaybrie always picks white cake and strawberry icing, this year she wanted sprinkles!

I can only imagine what all the little girls dreamed of that night. My prayer is that they all will all grow up and be as smart and beautiful on the inside as well as the outside, just like Ashley. It is fun and so innocent to play dress-up and to be a princess. An imagination is a great thing to have, just like great friends. It makes my heart smile that all of these little friends could come to Kaybrie's 4th Birthday Party and celebrate with us!

That's Our Boy

He really is my boy!

 I have no doubt now, none at all that they did not switch him when they took him out of the hospital room that ONE and ONLY time to take care of...well you know that little surgery that only baby boy's get before they leave the hospital to go home with their Mommy! Of course, now that I have written that piece of information he is really going to wish he had been switched.
Why do I know he is mine?
He made straight A's the second 9 weeks of school!
At the awards assembly on January 28th, 2011, he was recognized for a total of five achievements including
Principals Honor Roll, Mighty Mustang Student of the Month and Perfect Attendance.

Braden all smiles after the assembly

Proud Moma & Son

Grandma doesn't miss any of her grandchildren's events!

Braden & Miss Sloan

Braden, Moma and Daddy are so proud of you. Regardless of what your grades are, we love you and know that if you do your best you will accomplish whatever you set your mind to do. We will always stand behind you no matter what. You are our boy and we love you!

Snow Much Fun!

Finally we got SNOW!! Yeah I sound a little bit excited, right? Well, the only good any snow does for me is the following:

1. Maybe a Snow Day out of school...or two!
2. An opportunity to eat a 8x8 pan of brownies practically by myself (How can that possibly be good?)
3. Finally an opportunity for my kids to get out and play so I can get some Snow Memories!

Miss Kaybrie will probably grow up and move somewhere where it is really cold and snowy all the time! She loves the white stuff and would play for hours.

They tried to build a snowman, but Frosty wasn't to be found in this round...too dry!

Oh, Braden...can't you just tell by the grin that something he thinks is fun is getting ready to happen. My only saving grace is that I always have the camera in my hands!

My saving grace becomes his sister's biggest nightmare. Can you just hear the scream that is getting ready to happen? Brother and Sister love. I wouldn't trade it for anything. But, I will always have my camera ready!

MckLinky Monday: 5 Things I Can't Do Anymore...

I am thinking the title of my MckLinky can be changed to SHOULDN'T do anymore!

I shouldn't jump on a trampoline...

...if I do then I must wear one of these!

Yep, I know you wanted to know that but its my blog and I am an honest writer. And believe me no amount of kegels are ever going to strengthen those pelvic muscles. But, jumping is good exercise and my kids love for me to do it with them!

I shouldn't watch movies like this....

... sci-fy and I just don't go together! I dream and attack whoever is in bed with me! Jason loves it, just ask him.

I shouldn't ever drink one of these...

...I get very hyper, but occasionally I CRAVE one! Old habits die hard!

Take that old habit of a Dr. Pepper and pair it up with this shouldn't...

...and remember the saying a moment on the lips an lifetime on the hips? Well my hips don't lie, do they?

Is that only four? What is my #5?

I shouldn't, I can't, never could DANCE---someone puullleeeze help me because April 15th is coming soon and not only have I not lost the last 15lbs but I am still expected to do the Mom Dance at Kaybrie's ballet recital in heels to "All you Single Ladies" by Beyonce'!!

Now it is your turn to tell the Housewives what you can't do anymore. Link up at The RHOK!

Today's Post....

Now don't you want to be the talk of the block? Get on over to The RHOK and link up!
