Dr. Khichi's Goodbye

Hey everyone! Tonight we had Dr. Khichi's going away party at Zio's in Bricktown. There was a very good turnout with around 60 staff, friends, and family. We all enjoyed delicious food and great conversations with our coworkers. The kids had a blast playing on the playground adjacent to the restaurant. After the party, Steve, Reed and I took a stroll around outside where I was able to get some pretty good pics. You'll notice Dr. Khichi in a cowboy hat, and Dr. Griggs conveniently looking away when the camera flashed. You can run, but you can't hide. Enjoy!

I've Been Tagged!!!

Okay, so Kristin has tagged me with this game. Here is how you play. You link back to the person's blog who tagged you and copy down the rules! Share six random (unimportant) things about yourself and then tag six other people! Let the tagged people know that you tagged them!

1. I hate feet. Plain and simple, they gross me out!

2. I love getting pedicures.

3. I follow my 4 year old around picking up toys as he leaves them out. I
can't leave the house if things are out of place. I don't do clutter.

4. I bake when I am upset.

5. I exceed the speed limit by 10-20mph daily and have never had a ticket.

6. I have an unhealthy obsession with People magazine, Gossip Girl, and
Woodwick candles.

I know, pretty pathetic. Okay, now I am tagging Traci, Mary, Crystal, Denise, Leslie, and Elizabeth. Have fun!

An Evening in Bricktown

Steve and I took Reed to Bricktown a while back and ate at Spaghetti Warehouse. We then decided to give the canal boat ride another try. The last time we rode the boats, the horn scared Reed half to death, so we were a little worried he may not be up for it. However, the child could not wait to get on the boat. While we were waiting in line, he discovered a sculpture of a man and a ball(I only took one art class in college, so give me a break). He then proceeded to talk to the man, slap his face, and then probe his ears for any signs of infection. It sounds a little like what I picture a night in jail being like. Anyway, after all of that he gave the man a hug. I, of course, saw a photo op and went crazy. Here are a few of the great pics.

Family Fun Night

On May 29, The Children's Place at ISMC had an open house/family fun night. There was a big bounce house, pizza, and a lot of friends. Several of the rooms were set up to be different climates, there was a desert, jungle, beach, etc. The themes were to show the parents what their kids were learning about. Reed had a blast, and it was great for Steve and I to see how Reed is progressing in school. He is getting so big and so smart, I can't believe it!! Here are some cute pics. Enjoy!

The Much Anticipated Long Overdue Update

I know, I know, it's been like 6 months since I've had an update. So I will recap the events of the last few months briefly.

MARCH

We celebrated Easter with Reed and three egg hunts, one at home, one at MimiPops, and a neighborhood hunt. The best part was all the eggs were fake, so no stinky messes. He discovered the prize egg, which contained $1. This, coincidentally, is the same amount of money that used to be in the prize eggs I found when I was a little girl. It obviously hasn't been adjusted for inflation. Nevertheless, he opened the egg and yelled "Cash" and couldn't have been happier.





Also during March, I took Reed to the Zoo. As always, we had a great time checking out all the animals. He particularly enjoys the aviary and the seals, so those are always the first stops. We took a trip through the Oklahoma Trails where Reed had a confrontation with a very robust turkey. It would walk right up to the glass and stare at Reed, and then Reed would walk up to glass and stare at turkey. It was like in high school when you knew a fight was about to break out, but then the teacher would come and break it up. It was pretty funny. Then we saw the rarest of all species, not seen since the late 1980's in Oklahoma: the fullet, that's right, a female mullet. I had to get a picture otherwise I had no proof that it still existed. So I have included it for your enjoyment.








APRIL
At the beginning of April, I accompanied Reed to the Stephen Fite concert at Rose State College. The Children's Place at SWMC takes a trip every year to see this one-man show that gets the kids involved with singing and dancing. It was once again a great show and Reed had a blast. He is still talking about Stephen Fite. In fact, the other day I was giving him a bath and he was playing with a foam syringe and a cone. He took the syringe and using suction fixed it to the cone and was using it as a megaphone saying " Wadies and gentuman, welcome to the Stephen Fite concert. I hope you enjoy the show". I can't remember what I wore today and he remembers everything about that concert! Anyway, the whole gang was there and had a great time.
