March 2014

March was beginning the time of year that just gets insanely busy for me. Rehearsals for the end of the year production ramp up, spring break, t-ball starts...Everything starts in March and I feel like it doesn't slow down until June.
The beginning of March was still cold. We had a weird late season snow storm and after unseasonable warm weather in February, this month was COLD. 

One day at SAM's Club we ran into Trevor Knight, the OU Sooners quarterback, and some other of the football players. They were the nicest group of guys and were all too happy to snap a quick pick with Keller. 



Jed and I managed to squeeze in a date night at Pinot's Palette in Bricktown and did our own canvas paintings. I have done it several times before, but this was his first. We really had a good time! I think I might even be able to drag him again in the future.








The weekend of spring break, my cousin Kari had her bachelorette party in Tulsa and we had a great girls' weekend. I swear I took more pictures of this weekend, but I have no idea where they are....


Over spring break this year, Keller finally got the playset he has been wanting. I can't keep him off of it! 


I also took a day out of my not-so-busy spring break to go visit my Mimi in the nursing home.


At the end of the month was the Junior Hospitality League of Oklahoma City's Chips for Charity fundraiser. My friend Kyla Sanden is in the JHL, and invited us to it. Jed couldn't go because of a prior commitment, so my dad went with me for a fun father-daughter night. Oh my goodness what fun we had! $50 ticket bought you $500 in poker chips to try to win a prize at the end of the night. There was an open bar, a great d.j., and it was catered by all the top restaurants in OKC with a tasting menu (and you could eat as much as your wanted!). It was one of the funniest events I have ever been to and I cannot wait until next year.

Me and Kyla


This needs no words...we had fun

To cap off March there was a teacher rally at the state capital to try to protest the amount of money teachers don't get paid and the amount of money our state legislators don't spend on the students of this state. There were over 25,000 teachers and other supporters at the rally. Only time will tell if we made a difference.
My friend Lori Sanden, who teachers Kindergarten, and I took time to snap a picture...

And my daddy even came out to support us during the rally. What a great guy!

Terra Verde sings at Rivermont

I say it all the time, but I will say it again--we are SO HAPPY that we have found Terra Verde Discovery School for Keller to attend. This year has been amazing. We have gone from having a child who HATED going to school everyday the last two years to having a little boy who can't wait to get there in the morning.  His teacher, Ms. Lindsay Berryhill, is an amazing woman who has gotten Keller to tune in and love learning.  Among the wonderful things he has done in first grade this year, including learning Mandarin, having a lemonade stand to earn money to build an animal hospital for dramatic play, visiting The Orr Family Farm, having a manners lunch at Charlestons, and many more things, he also had the opportunity to sing Christmas carols with his 89 other school mates at Rivermont Retirement Home.  The seniors at the home were so entered by these children and we were truly impressed with how well they all behaved. The singing was excellent, but what was truly inspiring w...

It's been ENTIRELY too long!

Clearly Keller is distraught that it has been so long since my last posting. It has been almost two weeks since my last blog post. These last two weeks at school have been so busy that when I come home at night the last thing I want to do is get on the computer. Plus, working so much has not left me ample time to get good shots of Keller. When we're playing and he does something funny I never have the camera around. However, as a good change of pace I do have some good video taken from this weekend. My mom keeps Keller 2-3 days a week and for some reason she decided the boy does not have enough toys. As if...(haha, throwback to Clueless). So, she decided Keller needed to work on being the next Tiger Woods (before all the you know). Anyway, this is Keller with his very first set of golf clubs. At first glance, he seems like a natural... Doesn't it look like he hit the ball right into the cup and is now getting the ball out of his hole-in-one? We he did get it in the cup ...
