WILL' SFIRST BASEBALL GAME

Last night I sang the National  Anthem at the Oklahoma Redhawks game.  Will got to go to his first baseball game.  He loves sports already. He will actually sit and watch it and he loved watching the baseball game.

Since mommy was singing, of course, he got to go out onto the field with me before the game and meet Rowdy!  It was a fun time. Smokin Joe Frazier was there to sign autographs.  We saw him on the field but he was so busy that we did not get his signature :(.  We had a wonderful time last night.  Mamie even bought him his first bat and ball!  Can't wait to see what he's going to hit with it first.  Ha ha.

SECOND TOOTH

May 20th was another big day for Will.  I felt his second tooth poking through the skin.  He does so well with teething, really.  He is not fussy for long and as soon as we doctor his teeth, he calms down pretty much.  I have heard horror stories, though, on when they start getting their horrible top and back teeth.  Poor babies.  We are really excited though.  Just another sign that our baby is getting bigger every day. 

MY FIRST MOTHER'S DAY

Well, I had my first "official" Mother's Day!  Last year Donnie made it real special for me because he got me a card from Will and made it very special for me. 

The saturday before Mother's Day, mom and I went to our first auction. They were auctioning off a house and all.  It was really neat.  Mom had gotten an invitation from the owner of the house b/c she had bought some marmalade dishes from the women via E-bay and the woman had TONS, literally TONS of marmalade stuff that was being auctioned off.  Let's say mom made out like a bandit!  She got all the pieces she had always wanted to add to her collection and all for mostly $2 a piece!!!  She was so excited. 

I also made out well as in my son bought me my first mother's day gift :)...with Mamie's help of course.  He got me a cookie jar that is a ceramic pig with a corn cob on his back.   It is precious and since I collect pigs it was perfect.  Of course, since it's a cookie jar, Donnie will insist that I keep it full of cookies if it is going to sit on our island in the kitchen!!  I've been pretty good at managing to do that, although they might be just oreos in the jar and not homemade cookies....but he eats them just the same.

The actual Mother's Day was kind of a bummer for me.  Not because of anything my husband did but I wasn't feeling well.  We had commited to go to church with mom that morning and my stomach was really bothering me.  Those that know me know that I don't get sick very often at all.  Feeling like I was going to vomit, though, made me not want to go out and eat.  We made it to church for a good service and then Donnie took me to Jason's Deli to have some soup.  I felt a bit better after eating but was so very tired so my mother's day present that day was a nice nap in the afternoon. 

I got to go and pick out one of my favorite summertime perfumes, Clinique Happy.  That makes me Happy :) and smell good too!

I didn't even get a picture of me and my little angel baby on that day....we will have to make up for it next year for sure!

FIRST TOOTH!

Well, our baby boy finally got his first tooth!  He's been teething now since Christmas and drools a LOT.  I finally felt a sharpness poking through the skin of his little gums on the bottom and out it popped on the morning of April 27.  We are so excited for this milestone of many that our baby boy will go through as he grows :).

THUNDER VS. LAKERS

This is a little late since the game was a week ago but I love the Thunder and I am so very proud of our young men for playing so well and showing amazing sportsmanship and leadership!  We could have had tickets but with Donnie's work schedule and us trying so hard to pay off all of our debts and be a little closer to debt free- I figured the $41 a ticket could buy so much more than a ticket in LOUD CITY.  I was disappointed but feel I made the right decision regarding our finances and splurges. 

Mom and I took Will to Bricktown that evening and strolled around looking at the thousands of people who showed up down there to cheer our team on.  It was very exciting to be in that atmosphere.  We went to Spaghetti Warehouse to eat and it was delicious.  I haven't eaten there in years.  We then went back up to the Ford Center and got a front row seat on the curb in front of the big screen tv to watch our boys play.
It was like being in LOUD CITY outside but Will actually managed to fall asleep in the midst of all of it. 

Here he is before the game with me and then with mom

We had lots of fun cheering our boys on but decided to leave at halftime since we had a baby that needed to be tended to :).  We were disappointed that our boys did not take the win but were very proud of them for only being down by one point.  That says everything about the kind of players they are!!!  Look out LA Lakers, we WILL WIN next year!  Thunder Up!                                                                              

WE'RE BACK!!!!!

I can't believe I'm sitting here posting this from my own computer in my own house!  It's been soooo long since we had a working computer.  I have missed writing about Will and other things going on in our lives.  Will is growing like a weed and he is the most precious gift we could ever ask for.  I can't believe he is already seven months old.  Just the other day I was starting to plan for his First Birthday because it will be here before we know it.  We have decided that although he will be ONE he still will be a "baby" so we are going to have a "baby" party.  We can save the football parties and such for when he will appreciate it.  We are excited to have his grandma and papa come from Tennessee to share with us on that very exciting day. 

We have decided to do a "Little Prince" party.  They have such cute decor and ideas for decorating but what I loved best were all the invitations I found to order.  I'm stalking photography facebook pages and websites trying to find a good photographer in Edmond to use for his birthday photos.  I found the perfect "crown" for our little prince to wear too!

We have been looking at so many toys and things we want to get  Will for his birthday.  The biggest thing we are going to do is take him to Tulsa on July 15th to see the Nick Jr storytime live.  He loves the Wonder Pets and Moose and Zee and I know he will be at a perfect age to really  enjoy seeing them in person.  It will be so much fun!

Here is our little precious one a couple weeks ago....

He's such a DOLL!!
