meet me underneath the oklahoma sky..

So many things have been happening lately! My husband and I's 2nd anniversary, a nephew's birthday, Thanksgiving..so many things. I honestly haven't had time to sit here and blog lately. Guess I'll go ahead and make it a picture blog! I have been trying to upload a video of my nephew when I gave him his birthday present, but my computer will not let me. Here is a picture of him with his huge "shahk" I hope he loves it! I was so so so sad that I had to miss his birthday party :( Oh well, guess that just means I'll have to spoil him extra for Christmas ;) Love you so much Fox, you are getting so big! Happy Birthday!

For Thanksgiving, we went to visit Judah's brother and his family in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Judah's younger sister and her husband (Johanna and Bru) were also there, as well as Judah's parents. It was a great time. We don't get together very often, but when we do we always have the best time. Here is Judah with his (almost twin!) sister:

Here are some pictures of our 5 month old nephew, Zachary Elliot:


The boy can sleep anywhere, through anything! He slept through pretty much all of the saws and other tools that the boys were using to put new floors down in Jared and Joy's house. Here he is sleeping at Target:


Grammy got Zach a cute new hat for Christmas..here he is with his mommy:


Got him!

(didn't mean to flip off the camera..)

Also, here are some pictures of our other nephew, Keenan. I'm sure he ate like 67 pieces of taffy while we were there. He looked like this the entire time:


He tried on his Thanksgiving play costume!


One thing you have to know about the Vedros's: they love to make every.single.thing. a competition. So obviously they love to play games so that everyone can yell and argue and just have a good ole time together. This competition turned into who can draw it better..Keenan and Judah drew different things and everyone else had to vote on which picture was the best.


After Johanna and Bru left, we realized that Bru forgot his favorite glasses. They're Keenan's now!


Here is one of the pictures. The competition was who can draw the best house..I don't think Judah understood the rules..


I think this is a horrible picture of me, but I love this gal! Johanna and me:


I'm so sad that we probably won't see each other until next summer. But I'm very thankful that we got to go visit them. The drive, by the way, was absolutely beautiful. The leaves on the trees were all red, orange, or yellow..it was just miles and miles of huge hills (Joy made fun of me bc I accidentally called them mountains..but they were huge! They just didn't seem like hills to me..) with pretty leaves. And deer..there were so many deer. It was a 10 hour drive, but it didn't seem like it. We were very happy to be home and see our doggies! Happy Late Thanksgiving!

Btw, I am very thankful for all of you people reading this.. and (the rest of) my family (who aren't reading this)..and the trailer we live in..and the food in the fridge..and my job..and all of my friends and co workers too..and my doggies :-) Oh and my husband too!
