Life in Lawton

Kissable little Landon.

So life is going well for us here in Oklahoma. We were able to close on the house that we wanted so we are really excited! We got an amazing deal and feel extremely lucky to have gotten it. With it being a foreclosure that needs work done, we'll close on the house mid April and then move into it the first of June. That is if everything goes according to plan...

We just finished a fun run of pink eye in our house hold. Luckily I don't think we passed it on, but we had all the boys taking medicine just in case. Landon was the main sufferer of the group though. Let me tell you, putting eye ointment in your 4 year old's eyes and almost 3 year old's eyes is no joke. Putting it in four times a day along with eye drops every three hours for your baby is simply hilarious. I am so glad to be done with that!
This Friday is the army ball for dentac, and I'm not going to lie, I'm pretty excited! It's nice to have a reason to get dressed up, and it's really nice that it's something that Ryan basically has to go to. We're going dancing and I'm not forcing it on him...basically because it's the army forcing him to go instead. Hah.

It seems like the kids are growing up so fast. Life really has a way of sneaking past you when you're not looking! I'm loving this stage of life. Landon's starting to talk and get this little toddler personality, Carter's acting more and more like he's four, not almost three :), and Josh is ready to start kindergarten...or junior high, one of the two. And just now, I took a break to chew out the kids for being nosy while they're supposed to be asleep. So much for that touchy-feely moment I was having! Someday I will be that perfect mom...maybe that's what a grandma is.

The boys went to play outside during our one big(ish) snow storm. The snow was melting pretty fast, so the boys ended up playing in lots of mud.

Ryan's doing really well with the residency. I'm quite proud of him. He puts a lot of effort into his work, and he's just naturally good at it. It's fun to see his professional side, and when I do, it often makes me think I don't have a clue as to how great a guy I got married to. Do you ever do that? You ever see your spouse in a different light and think, "Huh. I'm pretty lucky to be attached to this one"? I do. It's nice to have those moments.

Bowling night with the kids. I almost beat Ryan! (Or maybe I got a 41...)

Thanks for your nice comment. I agree, we would be friends!

Your new house is so beautiful! I am excited to see more pictures as you work on the inside. Kris is actually flying out your way in a couple weeks for an interview. They have two offices, one in Denison, TX and one in Durant, OK which is about 3 hours from you. So if things go well, perhaps this friendship can start sooner rather than later. :o)

That is so nice that you guys are going to be homeowners. I hope that happens for us sometime soon too! Good luck with the repairs, you'll have to post pics of the inside!
