Farewell Party


Our friends here are so great!
Have I mentioned that before?!? : )

They organized a little farewell party for us at the COP bowling alley.
It's a great private experience, some people don't even know the alleys exist down there in the basement of the Conoco Phillips building.

Pizza.
Balloons.
Sugar.
Screaming.
General havoc.

A lot of what I'll miss most.


Love these ramps that help the little ones not drop the ball on their toes!


Jordan, Alyssa, Jenna & AJ. Too bad one of the Brown girls didn't sneak in their, then all the families would have been represented.

AJ loves Kyla. Kyla has been a great example of responsibility and helpfulness.

So fascinated by the ball return.

Curt must have taken this and I loved it. 
I'm holding Clayton Crouch and Sabrina is holding Molly Robbins, it's great to be such good friends that you just pick up whoever needs a mom, whether their yours or not. These people really are an extension of family. 

I'm feeling a need to reevalute why we're moving.

Kidding. I know it's God's plan for our family and that great things wait for us. But I just never want to take for granted how perfect we had it here and what a blessing the past 6 years have been.


Does this make anyone nervous?! Mr. I'll do it myself!

Masters of Disguise

After Halloween I was strolling through KMart and there was a rack of costumes 90% off, I couldn't resist. : )

This is Batman - he's really tough......wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley.


Oh shoot.....maybe he's not that tough.
(Didn't get the whole "eye holes" thing) Tehe


Dino Dillon has a mean growl! Do you see the tail? It's a hoot!

At the Arch

When Curt decided to take this new job, we knew it would mean we had to buy a new vehicle. The blue truck was not going to make it back and forth every weekend.....that's funny to think about because we're amazed it's still getting around Bartlesville. Anyway, Curt's buddy asked if he could buy it to keep using for the mowing business and we agreed.

That same night Grandpa K called and asked if we'd be interested in buying his truck. CRAZY.

So we said, "Sure thing!"

The following weekend we met up with Grandma & Grandpa K to pick up the "new" truck. : )
Halfway happened to be St. Louis.
We didn't have much time, but we were able to enjoy the arch together.

The boys thought it was great.

I can't believe they strap you into a tiny ball and take you to the top of the arch and you have to wait a turn to see out these tiny windows. Strange. I'm confused why people pay money to do this.

With Grandma K helping them see.

AJ and I were not fans of the arch, but we were both impressed with the museum at the base.
The two of us agreed that if we go to arch again we'll take our ticket money in cash and spend it in the cute little general store.


This pic should've made it into the post of house upgrades, but I didn't see it, so instead I'm tucking it into a post about Curt's parents. : ) This is one of six windowsills Ed made while he was here at Christmas time. 
Really going to miss enjoying these!!
