Callie's Second Birthday

Where do you go for a two-year old birthday party? Chuck E. Cheese of course! Callie loves going there and she is getting old enough now that she can play more of the games. It is still hard to believe that she is already two! Here are a few pictures from her party.

Anniversary Date Night

Last Friday night we dropped the girls off and mom and dad's so we could go shopping for Callie's birthday and celebrate our seven-year anniversary. After finishing our shopping for Callie, we went to Pelicans to enjoy some really good seafood. The finish our night, we decided to go see the movie Avatar. Everything was going great until about ten minutes from the end of the movie. All of the power for the entire theatre shut off because a car ran into a transformer in the surrounding area. Talk about disappointment! All of us had sat through over two hours of previews and the movie to be told we could come back later and re-watch it.

As we were leaving, Theresa reminded me that something similar happened to us while we were celebrating our first anniversary. We were living in New Mexico at the time and had rented a cabin for the weekend in Ruidoso, NM. One of the nights we were there, we went to a little movie theatre and several times during our movie it would just stop. The funny part was, they were start showing slides of nature scenes almost like somebody's homemade slideshow. We eventually got to watch the movie after several stops and starts with a slideshow in between.

That was an anniversary celebration we won't forget and neither was this years. What is it about us and movie problems on our anniversary?

Christmas Season 2009

Here are some pictures from the Christmas season. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas!

Orr Family Farm Field Trip

This was Emily's first class field trip and she and I got to go to the Orr Family Farm. Even though I have passed by the farm for years now, I had never been inside. I was very impressed with all that they had to offer and Emily just loved the entire atmosphere. We will definitely have to go back and bring Callie and Theresa with us.

Fall Festival at Schwartz

The girls, I mean Tinker Bell and Ladybug, really enjoyed their first Fall Festival at Emily's school. Once they saw how everything worked they both really got into the games and activities. Of course getting candy at every stop helped a little. I just want to know when adults get to get that much candy in one night.

Oklahoma State Fair 2009

We almost didn't make it to the fair this year, but I'm glad we finally did. I had not been in several years and Theresa had never been to a fair here in Oklahoma. The girls were awesome the entire day and it was tons of fun.

Mom and dad came with us and I really think they enjoyed seeing the girls experience so many things for the first time. Emily kept wanting to ride a ride, but we were not too sure how she would do. Right before we left we let her ride one ride and she did great. She didn't look too sure about everything when they first started, but by the time they were done she was having a great time. By next year I'm sure she will be ready for more.

I always love the food and this year we had some really good stuff. Who knew pizza on a stick could taste so good? I also got to see a few friends from high school and college that I had not seen in several years. If we didn't have to spend some much for the whole experience it would have been perfect, but perfection is pretty hard to obtain. Here are some pictures from our day. Hope you enjoy!

Sad News

For those of you who haven't heard, Theresa and I found out last Thursday that we actually lost our baby. This has not been an easy few days and I would hope that none of you ever have to endure this. Even though we have learned that the number of women who miscarriage is quite high, it still doesn't make things any easier.

We are so thankful for our loving family and friends along with a great church who have really supportive. Thank you all for your prayers and calls. I have heard several similar stories that really make me want to cry. I know that God has a plan for us and for every other unborn baby, but it still doesn't take away the pain. Just like Emily's favorite song, "Blessed Be Your Name," we must bless God in the good as much as during the bad. May He alone be glorified!
