Back when I lived in Temple, I promised Memaw that I would bring her great grand kids to Sunray for VBS. I lived up to my word. We stayed in Sunray for a week. The kids had a blast. I thought it was really nice to get to know my brother Garrett. We road the Chariot to church every night and I helped Memaw in the kitchen with cookies and lemonade. On our way home, Jade was still talking about how the cowgirls had promised to put a butterfly on her cheek.. Since we left early Friday morning, I tried to put the butterfly on. I don't think mine was as good as theirs would have been, but it made her happy.

The Stone Lion Inn

Stone Lion Inn

Our Anniversary was a blast. After we got settled in our room, we had to get dressed up. After that the Cocktail party started and we went down stairs. Next it was time for dinner. During dinner someone died and the rest of the evening we had to figure out who killed him. It was a fun murder mystery. I didn't sleep a wink in the haunted house, but it was all worth it. The next morning, we woke up to a yummy breakfast and then headed home.

11-Years!!!

Tomorrow I celebrate 11 years with the love of my life!! I am so excited for us.. We are in such a good place right now. I love it~~ Tomorrow we are going to a murder mystery bed and breakfast. I am excited and nervous all in one!!

I am Lady Nancy ~ was a teacher in an exclusive English boarding school until her marriage to Sir Philip. Very little is known about her early childhood. What her girlfriends know that her husband doesn't is that she hates the thought of pregnancy and has confessed to her girlfriends that she doesn't want children.
Jason is Sir Philip Fitzpatrick~ British Navel Officer. Recently took his wife to Zurich to a fertility specialist. He is a devoted husband and cannot bring himself to tell her the truth of her condition. He has brought her to the Stone Lion Inn for a quiet holiday before returning to England.

We are super excited and I will let you know how it goes down tomorrow.. :)

Yesterday

Yesterday morning I woke up to Andrew asking, "Mom, when are you going to get up so we can go to Guymon?" I told him that if he wanted to go quicker he had to go upstairs and get 4 shorts, 4 shirts, 4 pajamas, and 4 underwear. Thinking that this would buy me an extra hour of sleep, I rolled over and went back to sleep. Next thing I knew, he came down asking, "Where do I put my clothes?" Finally realizing that he was serious, got up and got in the shower. We got ready and then went to eat with Jason at Alvarado's. When we took Jason back home to drop him off the radio was playing "Wonderful Tonight." For those who don't know, that is our song. One night when we were dating he put that song on, and we danced to it in his bedroom after he had cooked me a romantic diner. We also danced to it at our wedding. I almost couldn't leave him alone after hearing that song. It was sad, but I left. The kids were good on the trip. We only had a few hiccups. Jade took her seat belt off while I was going down the highway, so she got into trouble, and I had to pull over right before Slapout. From Slapout, Andrew asked 3,000 times "Are we there yet?" I told him that if he asked again, I was going to turn around and go home. After arriving at Guymon, the kids started swimming. We had a cookout with John, Savannah, Kailey, Reanna, Aaron, Hunter, Hannah, mom, dad, me and the kids. It was a fun night.

I'm excited about today, cuz I'm going golfing with my dad. It is going to be cool and a first..

Another Catch Up Blog

I really need to get in the habit of blogging everyday. I do a lot of stuff and I really want to write about it, but I always forget to blog....

Since the reunion we have been to White Water.. I didn't take my camera, so no pics. I am upset about it too. My kids rock! They didn't get scared the whole time we were there. They even both jumped off the cliffs. Here is Jade in a floaty swim suit and she is jumping off a 8-9 ft cliff. Crazy kid! We had a blast at the water park.

Other than the water park, we have stayed home, played t-ball, and golf.

Oh Yeah.. Big NEWS!! I'm a golfer now. Who would've thought... :) I didn't understand the sport for years and then Jason started inviting me to tag along. One thing lead to another, and now I love it... I got new clubs and have really only had the chance to play a full game once, but I want to play all the time.

Tomorrow I am heading to Guymon so that Friday I can go golf with my dad. Saturday is Aunt Gina's wedding and then we will head home on Sunday. I am excited about my weekend.

A day in the life!

Today was a normal day. I got up and drank coffee until 11:00 because I stayed up late the night before. Jason and I stay up and watch movies. Right now we are watching True Blood season 1. We have Netflix so we get 3 disc at a time. After drinking coffee, I cooked lunch because the kids where hungry. The kids had spaghetti-o's.. They are nasty, but the kids like them. Later we went to Walmart. Tonight was suppose to be Jade's T-ball game at 7:30, but a big storm rolled into town. Well it didn't really rain here, but it did somewhere in the City. I'm now watching TV and the kids are in the bath. I am glad the week is over. Jason worked days and all week long I had two kids asking what can we do now. Tomorrow we have a exciting day planned. We are going to White Water. The kids have never been. I went twice when I was younger. It looks the same.

Mutschler Family Reunion

The Mutschler Family Reunion was held in Elk City at the Holiday Inn or now it is the Elk... It is under construction and renaming... Anyways... My mother's dad is Carl Mutschler, he is 80 years old and this is his reunion. We are all kin, but we really don't know each other very well. Every two years we all get together at this same hotel and have a ball. This year there was an auction, a bunch of buffets, and karaoke. My grandad played his guitar and sang a couple songs. Jade sang "The Climb" by Miley Cyrus and "Oh how I love Jesus". Reanna and I sang "Grandpa" by the Judds. Also a big group of us sang "I'll Fly Away." I was so proud of Jade.. She wasn't scared at all. I on the other hand was scared to death. My chest was red and I was shaking. Andrew made a new friend with Rosie, one of my distant cousins. He was swimming with her, and he told his dad "Man she's Hot." I'm not even sure he knows what that means, but it was cute. I reminded him that she was his cousin. Us kids (Re, Le, Aaron, and Jason) all went to the casino later that evening and the kids stayed with Mamaw and Papaw. I don't think they got any sleep at all. According to mom and dad, the kids started out on the floor. Then Jade got
in bed with mom. A few hours later, Andrew climbed in with mom, then Hannah followed. Mom moved to width of the foot of the bed. Man, if we only had a video of this. Then dad got Hannah out of the bed and put her in bed with him. After that, they got a little bit of rest and it was time to go to the Breakfast Buffet. We woke up and went to the buffet and then Grandad had a mini church gathering. He read the Faith, Hope, and Love chapter, and then Lin got up and said a prayer. After that Jade got up and tried to sing "When we all get to Heaven" but ended up singing "Jesus Loves Me." It was a fun weekend with family. I was so proud of Jade's bravery. I asked her if she was scared when she was up there singing and she said "No... Why would I be scared... He was not a stranger." (He meaning the man who owned the Karaoke machine.) Even though that was my favorite part, it was also pretty special that Grandad sang with his guitar. He has been doing that since my mom was a little girl.
