Get ready this is a long one!! Where to begin.....So last weekend was Tulsa Junior Leagues Holiday Market and it turned out to be a huge success!! Santa also came to visit so I took Harper and surprisingly she did well!! I was prepared for her to kick, scream and cry. She kind of just stared at him like "who are you?" Here is the pic we got!!
Crazy to think that my little Harps first bday is just next month. Ive started planning details of it and making her outfit. I'm really excited to celebrate her birthday. 1st Birthday's are always for the parents, it's like OMG we did it!!! Especially with your first child, I'm Sure. It's like your life completely changes once that little baby comes along and you can't ever imagine what life was like without them. The first year brought so much joy, pride, worry ( I never knew how much I would worry about EVERYTHING), excitement, fear and just so many other emotions, Parenthood is truly AMAZING. But anyway what I'm getting at is, I thing the first birthday is a great celebration time for the parents and the family and I'm EXCITED!! So I ordered some of her outfit and then I'm making other parts of it. So here is the hat that I made, I think its pretty cute. Now the question is, Will she keep it on??
This weekend we traveled to Stillwater, OK to an OSU game for Adam. His squadron was doing the flyover for the game!! Its especially exciting that Adam was able to be part of it considering he is OSU Alum!! It was truly an amazing day! We were treated so well and had the best time! I rode to Stillwater with two of the other spouses of the pilots. We arrived and we were escorted to the varsity club level where we had all kinds of free food and drinks. They also took us down to the field and let us hang out there for a while, which was pretty neat! We waited for the flyover and the game to start. Once the guys got back we were taken up to the Suites. We first met Boone Pickens himself in his suite!! After meeting him we went to several of the other suites and then we all had dinner up there. At the end of the game we went back down to the field! OSU won the game so it just made the day that much better!! I know this was a special day for Adam, I'm so proud of him!!

Adam presenting a flag to an OSU student. There is cool story behind this. This man lost his father to a service related death 2 years ago. A flag was presented to him at the game in honor of his father and in celebration of Veterans day. Adam also lost his father in a service related death so these two men were able to connect on that level. I know this had to be such a special moment for both of these guys!
This is all the guys with Mr. Pickens which owns the OSU Stadium. I mean it is the "Boone Pickens Stadium!" They flew this flag over and they all signed it for him. Very cool moment!
This is a pic of all the guys!! This was right before they were announced on the field in the third quarter of the game. They received a standing ovation from the crowd. It gave me goosebumps!!
Here are just some pics I got from the day!! Enjoy:)
This is a pic of the whole crew!! They even gave them the "Game Winning Ball!"
Happy Veterans Day to all who Have served and are currently serving!!!!!!!!
Happy November!! It seems that October just flew by! We had a good halloween, although Harper was down for most of the week. This is the first time she has been sick besides like a cold or ear infection. It was awful seeing her feel so bad, by far the worst thing about being a mom is seeing your baby in pain and not being able to fix it. She had green drainage from her eyes, fever and vomiting. Good news is she is doing much better and thankfully they gave her some antibiotics and they are doing the trick!! Having health is such a blessing!
This was a pic of Harper when she was not feeling so great.
We carved a pumpkin with her and thought she would like playing in all the gooey insides. Well, I was wrong, she did not like it at all. She did not find it amusing when I put some if it on her hands, ha ha!! I guess she is going to be more of a girly girl.
you can see here she got a little on her foot and she was not happy
After we carved the pumpkin I decided to roast the seeds. They turned out really yummy!! I just covered them in a little Olive oil and then put seasoning on them and cooked them in the oven for about 40 min. They were really good!
This is the final product of our pumpkin. "H" for Harper!
For Halloween we had plans to take her trick or treating around to all of our family in her costume. We decided since she had been sick that we were going to stay home. I dressed her up in her costume and we handed out candy at our house. She loved seeing all of the kids dressed up and she even put some candy in their buckets!!
Harper and daddy outside ready to hand out candy. It was actually a really nice night.

This big puffy costume will not stop me from crawling around!
ROARR!!!
After she got in her costume she started practicing her ROARR!! I think she did pretty good for a baby dino!!
