Election Day? Who knew!

Yes I voted. Thank goodness this day is here & I can quit reading ugly post, etc on Facebook. I've learned some interesting things about some "friends". Things that got some people unfriended. I'm sure they give a rip.

It's no secret that I am a big ole' democrat. Living in Oklahoma, I'm surrounded by republicans. There is no way President Obama will win Oklahoma. I vote because it does matter. It matters to my daughter who I think should be given the same opportunities as any man. It matters to my son who will be going to college and will need pell grants to pay for his education. Sorry, no trust fund kid. It matters to my husband because he works hard for our family & I want him to be able to retire at an age that he can still have time to enjoy retirement.

So fingers crossed that my man wins tonight. And fingers crossed that if he does win, my newsfeed on Facebook simmers down by Thursday ;)

Until next time ~ Stacy

Shock! A pic with the boy.

Thanks Becky for getting a picture of us :)

Tomorrow night is senior night. Don't think I'll get teary. We will have one more senior night for baseball. That's when I'll lose it :)

Until next time ~ Stacy

Senior Pictures, oy!

Finally got to shoot Colton's senior pictures a couple of weeks ago. Here are a few of my favorites.




I'm really pleased how they turned out. Tina Eddy Weaver did the shoot. She has been taking classes and really does a great job. Will definitely use her again.

Punk Rocker Zombie but still cute!

Hannah had a Halloween dance at school.

Glad I got my big camera out!

Need to quit using my iPhone all of the time.


But iPhone pics still aren't that bad with Instagram.
She won a Sonic card. It's the little things y'all!!
She had a party Saturday night & will wear her costume for trick or treating. We got our money's worth this year :)
Until next time ~ Stacy

Last HS Cross Country Meet. Ever.

Colton ran his last HS CC meet yesterday at the State Championships. The team placed 9th. Can't believe it's over.

Glad PaPa got to see him run.





Colton with 2 of his buddies, Ian & Jonathan. Didn't realize Jonathan's eyes were closed until we left, oops!

Now on to baseball!!!

Until next time ~ Stacy

Ben the Crown Bearer

Nephew Ben was homecoming crown bearer this year. He was very cute. He had some anxiety tears, but battled through like a trooper. I spent the morning with him going to practice, visits & a pep rally.

Ben with Blakelyn. She watched the boys a few days a week this past summer. They had a hard time saying her name & she was renamed Bacon.





Ben & Ashley. She was crowned queen. She is a sweetheart & I'm glad she won.





Ben & Gage. Gage was a senior escort. He's also Colton's best friend since they were little bitty squirts.





Hannah & Ben before crowning. He was so done by this time. He refused to were his tie & jacket. At least he wore pants. Pick your battles.





Ben & Colton. Colton got him laughing. He likes Colton.

Fun day :)

Until next time ~ Stacy

I know, it's been awhile!

So yeah, I haven't blogged in a really long time. And the only reason I'm blogging right now is because it's 5:00 AM & I'm wide awake, bored.

So recap of our summer. It was hot. Made a trip to Kansas City to eat at all of the places I've heard about for years that Brent has been wanting me to try. It was a food fest & very yummy. I could go for a steak from Ruth's Chris or Jack Stack's cheesy corn. I'm drooling.

The kids & I made a quick trip to Arlington to hang out with Shae. Colton worked all summer so he really couldn't take off so that was his little break. They went to hurricane harbor & we did some other stuff.

We celebrated Brent's parents' 50th wedding anniversary in August with a reception. There was a big crowd, a no cake left crowd.

And now we are in the back to school schedule & busy with cross country yada yada yada. Colton is a senior, tear, & Hannah is in 7th grade. She ran for stuco again this year & is a 7th grade rep. She is still karating & hopefully will have her black belt before the year is over.

And I started making cookie bouquets. Surprisingly, that has been keeping me busy. I have also made desserts for Brent's company, some cookie orders here & there, and got a pie & cake order yesterday.

I leave you with a picture that Brent's sister, Becky, found when she was gathering pics for the reception. I crack up every time I look it.

Bryan, Becky & Brent

Until next time ~ Stacy
