Well, it's about time that I updated our blog. It has been way too long! With my last semester at OU, buying a house and all the crazy things that come with life, it's about time we shared! Last year was a great year for us and I wanted to add a few pictures from the thing that we did. More to come. Much love!

New Years Eve Party. Tons of Fun! Happy 2009

Mom and I



Ian and I playing Wii, Mario Cart. I love it!

    We went to the Chickasha Festival of Lights with family and friends. We had a wonderful time and it always gets me in the Christmas spirit.

We dressed up and went to a great 80's party. We had a blast.

We attempted to take family pictures today. They really didn't go as planned but there were a few of Ian and I and the Choates that I liked, here they are... 

Recently, I returned from vacation with my mom, dad, sister and grammy. Despite the crazyness that comes with going on vacation with a million adults, and missing my hubby a ton, we had a good time. We were able to be at the blessing of a new member of the family and Mema and Happy had fun with the grand kids. We went to IKEA, one of my favorite stores and I bought 2 lamps and a big chandelier. My dad said I wouldn't be able to fit it all into my suit case. But, it's me. I made them fit and then some!!! I love the mountains and going on vacation and it is always good to be with family!!!

Happy loves playing with the boy!!!

Birthday Bowling

Since Ian and our friend Eric's birthday are only 2 days apart, we went to

the Red Pin for bowling and dinner. We had a good time, but we always do with the Choates!!! Happy Birthday Boys!

Ian's 23rd Birthday

For Ian's birthday we all went out to dinner at the Lake. It was a bunch of fun to sit out on the dock and eat really good food and look at the lake. Ian never likes to make a big fuss for his birthday but we had a good time!!!

We had a fun filled day in Stratford, Oklahoma with the Choates.
We went to Little Niagra in Sulfer and played in the water. We then went to my Grammy's house and relaxed. We played in the acres of land behind the house and drove the four wheeler. It was great fun with our favorite company, the Choates.

Jaxon ready to get into the water, with one floaty!!!

Ian being crazy on the wooden rocking horse I use to play on as a kid.

It is great to get away and enjoy the country and relax!

We rcently took our BIG summer vacation and because I am in summer school it was only to DALLAS. Despite the fact that is was very close to home, we had a great time. It is nice to get away and just relax. I have tried to talk Ian into getting a massage before but he never went for it. He said "having a lady massage my back would be very weird, but having a guy touch my back would be even more weird." I finally got him to go and it was one of the funnier and wonderful things we have ever done together.
The Ladies that did our massages were small Asian ladies and they were very nice and they did a wonderful job but during the massage they needed Ian's bed to move which was pretty ackward. These little ladies grabbed the bed and slowly moved it across the room with Ian still on it. I was laughing so hard! We finally relaxed and it was great! We also did a lot of shopping and went to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. It is really neat there and the food is very good as well. We ended our meal with a sparkling chocolate volcan and it was soooooooooo good but we were so very very full .

We had a great time in Dallas and look forward to another vacation soon!
