Woodward Park, Tulsa, OK

We spent the day yesterday at Woodward Park in Tulsa. It was a gorgeous spring day {yes, even I enjoyed it}. Darren's camera had 140 pictures on it when we got home. Here are a few of the highlights. I hope you can tell how beatiful the park is by the pictures.

holy moley I'm doomed...

my mom and Hailee were playing "beauty shop" the other day. Hailee did mom's hair and mom did her make-up. She's only 5! She picked the color of the eye shadow, but man alive look at her! It makes me want to cry...when she's 14 and wearing mascara on a daily basis...whew, she's gonna be one pretty girl! I told Darren to start stocking up on shot gun shells! {{wink wink}}

so far, so good!

My mom has been here since Tuesday and we're having a wonderful time. Darren is even enoying the visit and having fun though he didn't know how he'd feel after "THE" surgery! lol Glad it was a quick recovery for him. Our busiest day so far was Friday. Hailee was out of school for teacher conferences and the start of spring break, so we ALL, including Darren, went to the mall. Hailee got some sandals, both kids got some clothes, we had lunch...just a fun time. Later that night we went to the Longhorn Rodeo. So much fun! Mom hadn't been since she was a kid, and the last time we went was when Hailee was 2, so it was nice to go. Hailee loved the bucking broncos! But she said she doesn't want to ride one herself....can't imagine why :)

Today we're heading to Woodward Park for some outdoor pictures. Love these photo ops, the kids always look amazing in natural light surrounded by nature.

Here are a few pictures from Friday. The kids had fun on the toys at the mall and paid close attention at the rodeo!

My student of the week!

Hailee is student of the week next week! YAY! Today I made her poster for the class. That was more fun than I was expecting....I used a few scrapbook supplies but I think it was worth it! Don't you?

She also got to bring home the class monkey, Maggie. There's a notebook to write in all the details of their weekend together. It really does make the kids feel special...way to go Mrs. Snow!

And here is the layout I did last night using the NEW SCENIC ROUTE paper! I am SO happy that Layle agreed to sponsor the design team over at Scrapbook Playground (I'll still buy the rest of the new stuff anyway...but it's fun getting to use some of it for free!!!)

Recap!

February was a great month over at the playground. The ladies got SO much done! I didn't do as much, but I had great fun getting to know everyone.

Braden is finally feeling better, so is Darren and myself. Hailee on the other hand is finishing up round 2 of medicine for her bronchitis. Not sure why she keeps getting it but it really is starting to suck. She's out of school today (she missed Thurs/Fri of last week, too) and we're hoping she'll be back tomorrow...but we won't know until she wakes up!

I've had fun with Polar Bear Press at the playground and am getting ready to dig in to my Scenic Route stuff! YUM!!!

I'm trying to convince myself to apply for the dt position over at Busy Bee scrapbooking but I can't get the guts to do it. So many talented ladies, what would they want with me? lol

Well, here are some new pics....hopefully will get some good outdoor shots this week since we're having some stupid spring weather!
