Kiddie Park Tonight

The bi-plane ride was the kids' favorite by far. The did it twice. I thought pa would especially get a kick out of these pictures.

David told me that he flew the highest of everyone and I think he was right.

Whoo Hoo Pilot Davey!

"Hi, Mom!" (David decided he was too big for this ride. I had told him he didn't have to go on it, but he did and decided to let the world know that he was bored.) Jeffery sure had a good time, though and was excited about the horses.

I loved Jeffery's pleased face.

Nathan has an infectious smile and laugh. Holy cow, my kids are adorable. We had a great time. First, we went and got ice cream at McDonalds, then went to the Kiddie Park. Those boys are so loved.

Vroom Vroom. Watch out for David.

There is Farmer Nathan!
As I watched the boys clammer into the boat, I laughed to myself at the seating arrangement, thinking this is probably going to be pretty accurate in about 11 years, David driving, Nathan in Shotgun and Jeffery has to ride in the back, but glad to be included. We had a nice evening at the Kiddie Park and I hope we get to go out there 1 more time before we take off. :)

Life Update

Here is just a quick update on my life:

Jason was offered a job yesterday that we are totally excited about. He will be the store manager for a Braum's store in Choctaw, OK. He will be great at it and we are totally excited. Choctaw is a blink-and-miss-it town just east of OKC, right by Midwest City. So, tiny town will all the ammenities of a town the size of Bartlesville and right next to a big city with a Temple. Not to forget that Jason will be employed again. Horay! It has been 3 months and we are ready and truly grateful.
Sadly, though, we will be moving. I finally feel settled in. I love my friends, job, house, callings, ward, my kid's friends. I am truly sad to leave everyone. I know I am only going to be a few hours away and that we will be coming up to visit Grandparents, but I wont be here and life will go on and I am going to have to get settled in somewhere else. I am getting teary just thinking about it. Even though I haven't reached out to my friends individually yet, all of you mean the world to me, in Bartlesville and in other towns. I have learned so much from all of you and you have been a blessing in my life and I will miss you.
A little bit more about today: I quit my job, turned playgroup back over to the relief society and just put my two weeks in for my primary teacher calling. Not to mention I am packing, planning, bought a truck and decided to sell my beloved VW bug today. (Anyone want to buy it?).
I am sad, but this is all "good stress", right? I am not facing some of the horrible things that some of you - you know who you are- have gone through.

If I haven't talked to you personally yet and have contacted you through the internet to tell you my news, I am sorry.

Oh, we did find a place to rent until this house sells. It is is Midwest City, but we will definantly be settling/purchasing in Choctaw. It is a small 3 bed/1 bath house. I haven't seen the inside yet, but the guy says its nice, it is in a decent neighborhood, fenced, will take dogs when I come down, decent price, and best of all, month to month till we buy a house.

More updates to come.

We love the two tiger brothers at the zoo. These pictures were taken in January by Jason.
