Boomer Sooner!

Our first OU experience as a family.....So much Fun!

We went to all the pre-game activities as a family and then sent the boys to the game while the girls went to a movie.

The fam in our Oklahoma gear. The girls started the day without OU Gear. Soon we all caught the fever and looking at them in their non-red clothes seemed unacceptable. So if was off to the face painting booth and the bookstore for shirts.

You may think this is a bit overboard, but if you are walking around without it you are the one standing out.

Our Past vs Our Future

Our Past = BYU

Kevin and I both grew up in Orem, UT in the shadows of the mountains and down the street from BYU. We've always been BYU football fans, and though it's sad to say, during college football season Kevin's mood on a Saturday is determined by the success (or failure) of the BYU football team.

Our Future = OU

Kevin is receiving his masters degree online from The University of Oklahoma. When he enrolled his exact words were this: "BYU has been letting me down my whole life. It's time to move on. I'm going to become an OU football fan." He then proceeded to buy OU football tickets FOR THE WHOLE SEASON! (he's crazy)

This is our family divided at the OU/BYU game.

We had a blast, but in the end there was no denying our roots, even for Kevin.

We heartily cheered for BYU the whole game and rejoiced in their unexpected victory!

Disney World

We took a trip to Disney World after Kevin finished pilot instructor training. We were there for a whole week and did Disney for 5 days! My mom and my sister and her husband came. Needless to say we had a blast!

I've posted a slide show for each park and one for Downtown Disney.

Locks of Love

Cora decided about a year ago to grow her hair and donate it to the locks of love foundation. I explained to her that her hair would be used to make a wig for children who have lost their hair due to cancer and other illnesses.

Cora said she wanted to do this so she could help other kids. I thought she'd end up wanting to cut her hair before it was long enough; but she did it! The hair she cut had to be 10 - 12 inches from tip to tip. One day she asked me to measure her hair. It was just about 11 inches. She said, "Let's go get it cut." So we did.

What a great little girl!
