Oklahoma part II of II

OSU has these crazy traditions.  Do you see that huge mural behind us?  Made out of tissue paper.  Remember in like, third grade sticking a square of tissue paper on the back of your pencil and dipping it in glue?  Yeah.  That's what this mural is.  And to make it even more awesome, the tradition is that it's not started until the night before the "walk around".  Each sorority/fraternity does one and they are SO awesome!

The WONDERtorium, totally lived up to it's name!

I think someone's getting an easel for Christmas!

 Paint.  All over his hair!

This was the coolest thing ever.  You would stick a ball in it and it would zip through the airways and come out the other side.  Boston nearly lost his mind with it!

She totally destroyed me in checkers.  And yes, look at that belly!

HALLOWEEN!!!

 I told you I'd get a smiling picture!  ha

 Is this not the cutest family you've ever seen? 

Yup, that's sure the sink!

We were super sad to leave Oklahoma.  I'm not sure when we'll make it back.  Boston is BEST friends with the "boys".  He totally played with Hudson for hours and hours without needing me.  It was amazing.  The plane ride home was a disaster, but we are alive.  Buddy has been super sad to not have any cousins around.  I'm tellin' ya, he should have been the youngest!

Ooooooooaaaklahoma where the wind comes sweeping' down the plane!

SUCH a fun trip!

Here's the first week of my favorite pictures.  We left on the 21st at FIVE in the morning.  Boston was such a trooper on the plane.  I had the whole first season of The Mickey Mouse Club House on my iPhone so I was set.  Turns out he wasn't interested in Mickey- which never happens.  Luckily I bought one of those magnetic coloring boards from Walmart.  Best three bucks I've ever spent!

Quick 5 second video.  We were at the airport and Boston wanted to ride this motorcycle they had there....



Getting to Oklahoma!

This picture defines the whole week.  Greyson's on the left acting like a total GQ model.  Then you have Boston who is being a little stinker.  He was so fascinated with all the toys and new bikes that we could not get him to happily do anything else!  Then there is Hudson on the right.  The most beautiful blonde haired mischieveious three year old EVER!  Look at that face.  He's about to do something naughty!

 The pumpkin patch.  Boston kept running around pointing and yelling "PUNKIN"!
Don't mess with him, I am not even kidding!

 My sister is on the right.  Love her.  Isn't her family cute?  Both boys are adopted and they have been such blessings to our families.

 Let me DOWN!  I see Punkins!

 In every picture.  Ha!  Boston's all upset we're making him sit still.  Hudson's about to do something naughty (throwing his pumpkin at Boston) and Greyson is just cheesing it!

There will be a few more pictures next week and then I've got some fun hair advise for you if you're growing your hair out.

So stay tuned!

The Pumpkin Patch

First I must mention the cutest little blogger ever, Rachel from Family Ever After, is having a Blogaversary Bash!  It's seriously CRAZY over there with like a billion giveaways a day and awesome guest bloggers!  So if you haven't heard of Family Ever After yet, head on over.  She's great!  AND I just happen to be giving away an ebook :-)

Brian, Boston and I visited the Pumpkin Patch this afternoon.  We were supposed to get there at nine so that it wouldn't be too hot but of course it was 11:00 before we actually made it there!  So the lighting was crappy, it was super hot and to say the least Boston was not happy.

I took a photoshop elements class from the Texas Chicks and I've just been messing around with some of the things I learned!

He got really upset and we took his costume off him for awhile.  Yes and the face paint!

And I just sharpened the eyes in these next ones.  Look at my beautiful man.  Love those dimples!

This is Boston's annoyed squinty eyed face.  Hilarious

Ha ha

Do you like the edits?  I'm still totally new to Photoshop... I may or may not have gotten carried away!  Notice how I even added face paint?  I think it's just a little too dark.  I didn't have time to make it perfect.  Just playing.  I'd love to know what you think!

Oh yeah and his costume.  TEN BUCKS at Once Upon a Child.  Isn't it the cutest thing EVER!?  I WILL get some pictures of him smiling!
