The Last Hoorah of Summer

The weekend before school started we headed to Tulsa. Jason and his dad play in a golf tournament every year raising money for cystic fibrosis, and a little boy in Arkansas, who has it. This year it fell on my birthday weekend. We decided to surprise the girls and take a little out of the way route on the way up there. The surprise stop: Norman, Oklahoma. Here we are about 30 minutes outside of city limits and Ashlyn is reading out loud their surprise. Wanna see how excited they were?
Wanna know why? Because we were going to have lunch with our favorite babysitter on the planet, Lauren. Lauren has watched the girls for the last two summers and they are absolutely in looove with her. Me too! She loves Jesus and my girls so well!

Lauren is an RA at OU and so the girls were uber excited (that means beyond excited for all you grammatically correct people out there) to go see her room!

Just making themselves at home on her bed.

Then we went onto Tulsa to stay at a hotel and see Mimi and Papa D.

That night I was treated to a fancy birthday dinner. Here I am with the love of my life. Not too shabby, is he?

Me and sweet Reesie:

Me and precious Ashlyn Jean (both a little blurry):

Me and giggle-box Laney Hope:

Reese loved the obnoxious birthday hat that Mimi gave me. When you press the purple candle it sings happy birthday to you with a voice that sounds like Alvin from the Chipmunks. She wore and pressed that candle over and over and over again throughout the weekend. I can't wait to pull it out for her birthday.

Summer 2010 was a good one!
