It's happening already!

I guess you could say it was bound to happen sooner or later!  Kordale's sisters let him get to at least 4 months old before they started playing dress up with him.  Chad brought home these wigs for the girls and they immediately tried one on Kordale.  Don't you love the long purple locks?  :)

Yes, it's true our little guy is 4 months old! 




He got his first taste of cereal which he still isn't to sure about it. He can almost sit up by himself, he tries hard and leaving him sitting alone on the couch is no longer an option.  

Pumpkin Patch

Morgan's kindergarten class went to the pumpkin patch today.  They each got to pick their own pumpkin, Morgan went through about 10 before she finally settled on just the right one.

She smelled the flowers and said it was "buttery" 

Kordale wasn't to fond of the horrendous wind that was blowing out there, but he was a good trooper and finally closed his eyes and went to sleep.

A happy girl on her way back to school!

It was alot of fun to go along and meet Morgan's friends and see how she interacts with them. 

Another attempt at Oklahoma camping

We took off for the long weekend and headed an hour north to Kaw Lake.  Chad and Jordan had plans to go deer hunting, while the rest of us just tagged along for time away from home and school!

Kordale not only had his first camping trip but we even let him have that first taste of a fire roasted marshmallow.  I'm sure in due time he will make torches out of them just like his sisters do.  

 

We played hard and enjoyed being together.  

We gathered around the fire and had many laughs.  Some about times gone by and also in the moment.  

We were sure to make plenty of time for naps though, afterall isn't that what camping is all about?

 

Dad kept us toasty warm in the tent with his tent stove (hard to see but it's the shiny thing behind Kordale's head) and his Paul Bunyan skills. 

 

It was a great weekend of remembering how to work together and have FUN!!!

**No deer were killed in the making of these memories, maybe next year.

First Friend

Kordale said goodbye to his first friend last week.  Zachary is the son of our friend Sammi, who we know from St. Kitts but she transferred to Oklahoma after 3rd semester.  We were happy to catch back up with her and meet her husband and little boy when we moved here. 

Look who stopped by!

This is for all our St. Kitts friends!

Chandler (AKA Elder) Richmond stopped by on his way home from Utah this week.

It was alot of fun getting to see him and visit, we even got to meet his girlfriend (WOOHOO!)

Chandler, we hope you will come see us again before we leave Oklahoma. 

A quick visit from granpa and grandma

Grandpa and Grandma Harris stopped in on their way home from New York last week.   We went to a wildlife expo and spent the whole day there.  It was full of fun activities and lots of things to see.  We got to shoot a bow, guns, climb a rock wall, go for a stroll in a kayak, and try out our balance on a rope bridge.  We were all VERY tired when we finally made it home.

On the way we stopped at POPS and got to pick a nice cold drink from and assortment of over 500 flavors from around the world-no Ting though :(

Back Porch Friends

Some people wake up to find soft, fluffy kittens on their back porch; others see cute little, furry dogs; some are lucky enough to be greeted by chirpping birds. I on the other hand wake up to little brown and white goats that enjoy basking in the warmth of the sunshine!

Bet you wish you were so lucky :)
