PreK Graduation

I am still playing catch up. In May, Chandler and Gracie graduated from Pre-K. They are all grown up and will be going to Kindergarten now. They are so cute!

PreK Graduation

I still cannot belive that it is already half way through summer and that Chandler and Gracie will be starting Kindergarten in the fall. We have already started shopping for all the cute stuff! But before we move on, I must post a few pictures of PreK graduation. We are so proud of them!

OU legend Billy Sims Slow Cooked BBQ Pork

I found this recipe in Distinctly Oklahoma magazine and love it!

1 -3 lb. Shoulder Pork Roast or Pork Loin Roast
1-18 oz. bottle of Billy Sims BBQ Sauce
1-12 oz. can of Coke

Place pork roast in crock pot. Pour BBQ sauce and coke over roast. Cover and cook on high for 8 hours, or until meat is tender and shreds easily.

Remove meat gfrom Crock Pot and shred with two forks. Serve with sandwich rolls and bbq sauce. Yum!

Catching up!

I have gotten behind on my blogging but I suppose that's what happens when you are busy enjoying life! Gracie had her ballet recital in May. She is always so graceful and does such a pretty job. This job Patti's daughter Abbey, as also in the recital. She is in the Hip Hop class.

Grandpa's surgery

Paul's Dad, and my absolute favorite Father in Law, David, had a triple heart bypass surgery in February. Technology is great because we were able to visit with him right in the hospital room via webcam between my laptop and Paul's laptop that he took to MN. (Of course the kiddies were thrilled that they could give Daddy a night night kiss.) He is doing good and already driving back and forth from the doctors office in the Twin Cities. Paul and I both have been worried sick about him and are thrilled that he is doing better. Grandpa should be back to better than ever really soon! This is a photo of David and Chandler this past Thanksgiving in Iowa.

A Valentine's Day Wedding!

On Valentine's Day, my cousin Mickie's son, Chris was married. It was a sweet intimate wedding and Gracie was asked to be the flower girl. The other guys just kind of hung out and of course Chandler was right with either me or Paul - his favorite place to be. I was lucky enough to get to take quite a few photos. Here are just a few...

Daddy Daughter Dance

I am so far behind on my posting. I am going to an all day crop tomorrow with Rikki and so tonight I starting browsing through my most recent photos. I've missed several events on my blog lately. We have been so busy enjoying life that...well I forgot to brag a little.

Paul and Gracie went to the Daddy Daughter Dance last month and had a great time. They went with my brother and niece. Gracie thought she was going to the Prom! Every time we drive by the Embassy Suites, she says "there's my Daddy Daughter Dance place!" The boys and hung out and we met them at Logan's Steakhouse for a later dinner. What a magical evening!
