A weekend in Skiatook

A couple of weeks ago my sister calls and tells me she and her husband are going to Vegas for 4 days. I knew what that meant, it really meant you are watching the kids and the animals for 4 days. The girls and I have had a pretty good time while the parents have been gone. Thursday the girls had soccer and gymnastics so I got to run them to practice and chill in the car for an hour, it was exciting really. Then I came home and made dinner which I thought was a pretty boring meal; pasta, corn, and cheesy garlic bread. Apparently the girls thought it was amazing though they told me they didn't want me to leave, they want me to stay and cook for them. According to them I'm the best cook in the family other than my mom. Oh I also made brownies and they told me I make the best desserts... they were from a box. I guess it makes me feel good that the girls think I cook good haha. But our time is coming to an end Laurie and Evan get back home tonight and I will make my way back to Bartlesville, its fun for a short time, but I'm ready to go back to my own bed without children.
this is a couple of the "little" animals my sister has, this is only 2 of her 5 dogs and they don't get any smaller!

Super Bowl

A little late I know but better late than never right?

A few people came over for the super bowl and might I add I was disappointed with the commercials those have always been my favorite part but when watching them I really wasn't impressed for the most part, with the exception to the Doritos commerical it was pretty funny. So anyway Becca said Nikki where is your camera take pictures for you blog, so here they are.


Everyone is looking so excited... Kristina Obviously didn't want her picture taken


Becca and Trent were having a little too much fun with the camera, shows how much everyone was really paying attention to the game.





Over all it was an exciting Super Bowl party as you can see, but it was fun!

New Years Eve

This New Years Eve was unlike any New Years I have ever had, this year I was at my little cousin Waite's wedding (he is only 14 months younger than me, but way bigger). This is a picture of Waite and I dancing. It's weird to think he is married, he shouldn't be married yet he is younger than me! It seems like we were just the flower girl and ring bearer in a wedding, its crazy! But the fact is I'm getting old. All it all it was a good new years, fun times with the family!

It's been along time...

It's been along time since I have done a number of things...

*Posted on my blog (I'm going to work on this really)
*Cleaned my room (be prepared to see the progress in an upcoming blog!)
*Gone on a trip (I'm planning on going to see Dalene in March!)
*Worked (after my trip I will begin to really job hunt)
*Had people over (I'm thinking Super Bowl party)
*Seen some friends from college (I'm going to try harder to see them)

Well this isn't much but its something, I will be posting more often!

Winter Time!

While I sit here wrapped in a blanket with my coat and a sweatshirt on, the thermostat in my room reads 53, while outside it is supposedly 16 with a wind chill of 2 (Don't worry there is heat downstairs I just don't have any on upstairs besides a little space heater.) I'm enjoying watching December "I Do's" on Lifetime and the 25 days of Christmas on ABC Family. This is what I love about winter laying around bundled up and always able to find a good movie with a happy ending on TV.

Not only do I love laying around watching movies but I love Christmas time. Its the little things like: Buying gifts, Telling kids you know what they are getting and making them wonder just what it is, Going out with friends to eat and exchange gifts, drinking hot chocolate, and calling old friends just to say hi.

He's Here!!!

OK! So when I was told the name could be unisex and I had it narrowed down to the five letters, the first name I guessed was Bradley. Well Gina said no thats not it besides thats whats his names daughters name and she had already said she didn't know any kids named this. So with all this said....

Bradley Stephen-Earl was born.... The middle name is a combination of both of Bradley's Grandpa's names Stephen from his paternal grandpa and Earl from my dad. Anyway he was born at 5:19pm he was 7lbs 2oz. 20.5in. long. And he looks like a Rush hahaha.



Here he is!!! Ok maybe I'm partial but i think he is the most adorable little boy ever!

Waitin on a baby

My sister is pregnant with her second child. This one is a boy which will be first boy in our family, so that is pretty exciting! She was scheduled to come in at 9am this morning to be induced, so now its 3:30pm and we are still waiting on him to come. Hopefully he will be here soon, I don't really mind sitting here but if there was a little baby to hold and observe (b/c that's all you really do with a newborn) it would make it so much better.

The thing that is killing me, and has been for a few days or maybe a few weeks is that the parents won't tell anyone the name! And I have been asking as many questions as I can to try to figure out the name, but there are a lot of them. After a series of questions I believe I had the name down to starting with one of five letters A,B,C,D,&M. It could possibly be a unisex name, I guess the thing I will be most curious to find out is what his name actually is and if I have actually guessed it and she told me no, or to see if all her answers to my questions were totally misleading and I totally am on the completely wrong track. Stay tuned for the name oh and probably a picture of the little guy, that is if he ever decides to come out!
