Summer 2013- Settling down in Glenpool

Well, it has been FOREVER since I've posted. Most people that follow me on the blog are also friends with me on Facebook, so a lot of these pictures are repeats. But I wanted to have them all in one place. These are all pics from the summer and our amazing new adventure!!

Leah is showing me her chef hat.

At the Driller statue on the Tulsa Fairgrounds.

Sweet sisters :)

 
Free Summer Movies with our sweet friend, April and her daughter, Debbie! Debbie and our girls are seriously best friends. They get along so well. We are so happy that we also get along so well with April and John. We just love them!


Playing at the splash pad with our other sweet friend, Cheryl and her daughter Lydia. I met Cheryl when I took a quick job at a bakery early in the summer. I only worked there for a month, but I met some amazing women and will forever be grateful for my time there.


Some light reading.

Girls drawing on the boxes to pack up our apartment! YUP, we bought a house!

Date with the hubs.


I let the girls try on my wedding dress. They loved it. Char kept calling it my princess dress.


Playing on the slip-n-slide at Cheryl's house.


Yummy watermelon!!

Boxes, boxes everywhere!

 
It's upside down, but Charlotte was upset that I wouldn't let her do something, I don't remember what it was. After she got mad, she sat down and drew this picture of her family......without me. Ouch. :)

I still love her though!

Daddy and the girls snuggling before breakfast.

Signing on our house!!!

Officially HOMEOWNERS!

George's brother, Austin, came up to visit the day before we closed on the house. We felt really bad because we spent a good 3 days of his 6 day stay, packing and moving and cleaning the apartment and the new house. He was so helpful though! He was so willing to help and worked so hard. He fixed little repairs all over the house, hung up my new curtains, helped George put our new garage door opener together, and played and entertained the girls for us. It was so nice to have him here and I seriously was a wreck when he left. He is the best brother in law I could have asked for!

New house full of boxes!

LOTS of yard work to be done, but this was the second day in our new place.

After some weed pulling. This huge pile was from a 2-3ft square in our flower bed. There were seriously weeds galore! 

Playing at the park with Uncle Austin before his plane left.






Going to The Center of the Universe with him.


Leah got the first bath in the new house. She was pretty excited!

After a little more yard work and the front lawn mowed. Still so much to do!

George mowing our backyard. We are so excited about having a yard and yard work to do to keep us busy. We know most people don't enjoy it, but right now we are having a blast with it!

Clearing out some of the weeds by our rose bushes.

April got me this sweet vase and I HAD to fill it up with some lillies. Char was so happy they were yellow!

AND silly faces.

We are so in love with our new (to us) house and town. Come visit us!!
