Sorry for the totally random post....

This is what happens when Darin takes the kids to the park

 Ryan got Drew all ready while I fed Tripp

 How I bribed the kids to eat all of their green beans

 We got to go to the OU game again. Kids had a blast!

Aunt Shana came in town and the kids had so much fun playing with her! From the second they woke up to the second they went to bed all they wanted to do was play with, sit by or talk to Shana.

 

We celebrated Adrien's birthday in Norman Saturday night. 

(Not sure what that pose is that Darin is doing)

 This was right before we felt the 5.6 Earthquake!  The table shook and all of the lights were swinging.  It was pretty crazy!!

 Drew loves to sneak out of his room at night and get in bed with Ryan.  It doesn't last long because I either hear them giggling or Ryan gets annoyed and comes and tells on him.  It's hard for me to get mad because I think it's so cute!

 

Pretending to be asleep so he doesn't have to go back to his bed.

Halloween 2011

 Ryan teaching Drew how to Trick-or-Treat

Superman and Cheerleader ready to Trick-or-Treat!

Ryan decided she wanted to be an OU cheerleader last minute because she was frustrated that people didn't know who Angelina Ballerina was.

At Poppy and C's house first

We went Trick-or-Treating with the Steves' family for the 3rd year in a row.

This is the first year -Ryan and Noah had just turned 2

Drew and Gavin weren't born yet

MSU Alumni Weekend

Last weekend Darin and I went back to Springfield for our alumni swim meet.  Coach Steck is also retiring this year so tons of old swimmers and divers came back to celebrate and see Steck.  We had a great time reliving our old college days and eating at all of our favorite restaurants. 

The city of Springfield made October 29th Coach Jack Steck Day!

Darin and I with Coach after the reception

Darin was most excited about getting to eat Andy's

We had to stop at Trops before the meet

Catch-Up

Here are some catch-up pictures from the last couple of weeks!

Orr Family Farm

 Drew riding the merry-go-round for the first time without crying

 Ryan hamming it up for daddy

 Riding the pony...her favorite thing

 Drew did great for his first pony ride

On the train

 Enjoying the nice weather

 Hanging out with Tripp

 Drew the entertainer




So Drew has figured out on days that Ryan is in school and I am feeding Tripp he has about 15 min where he can do just about whatever he wants and I can't do much about it. 

 Here he got tons of toys out and spread them all over his room.

 Here he climbed on the desk to get to the candy bowl..I got there just in time

Made him a PB and J and went to feed Tripp and came back to this

 He loves the IPod

 Drew has started to be interested in the potty.  He has gone a few times but no consistency at all.  He thought the sunglasses would help!

Ryan the artist

 Angelina Ballerina and Superman

 Went to Krispy Kreme

 

 Hanging out with daddy at lunch

 Feeding the ducks with Addy

Pictures

A couple of weeks ago we got some pictures taken with Darin's dad and step mom while they were in town from California.  The amazingly talented Kristi Morton of Twice Blessed Photography took them for us.  The weather was perfect and Drew was easily bribed by marshmallows to smile which helped the pictures turn out great!  You can look at all of them on her website  http://www.twiceblessedphotography.com/   Just go to the client proofing and the password is kent1027

Here are a few of my favorites...

Videos

I have been meaning to post some videos of the kids for a while now.  I still haven't figured out the best way to upload videos to the blog.  Hope you can at least see them!



Here is a video of the kids singing
