A Steeler Fan in Oklahoma!

Ever since the Superbowl game Stone has been interested in football and Friday was quite a special day; he got a fun package from Grandpa and Jill. The package came all the way from Pittsburgh, home of the Steelers!

I think we just might have a football player on our hands... look at the way he cradles the ball! 

Running for a punt?

Time for a pass off!

Holding it tight and ready for a touchdown!

Stone had so much fun trying out the new football!  

Thanks Dad and Jill, We love you!

Valentine Cupcakes

Stone got invited to a sweet Valentine Cupcake party last week.  Tyna and Joe invited 4 litttle boys over to decorate cupcakes and to play!   Stone had so much fun putting the frosting on followed by all the sprinkles and then licking off the frosting.  I was impressed that he actually ate the cake part as well! 

Intently focusing on the sprinkles! 

The first bite while saying, "cheese".

A mouth full of cupcake... YUMMO! 

Me and my Little Valentine, love this boy so much! 

Friend Day at Gymnastics

Stone's best buddy Mac invited him to bring a friend day at Metro Gymnastics.  Stone got to see Mac and Clara, another friend from Sonshine School.  Stone was so excited to go and he had a blast.  

Listening to Miss Sara give directions.  

Time to begin... pat to the beat!

On the move... following the leader.

Tumbling and climbing... so much fun!

Time for a drink break!

After drinks it was time for the bars, Stone doing a splitso with Miss Sara's help! 

Touch your toes to the bar!

I have to say this was a great way to spend a Friday morning!  

Thanks Mac for the invite!

These are so cute...

Another fun giveaway from lilmunchkindoodle... these shirts are so cute. 

Taking Shelter!

Today as the school day was winding down the Tornado sirens went off... mayhem ensued and we were on the move to the "tornado safe" area of the building!  After all the kids had left and we were getting ready to go the sirens went off once again and a few tornados touched down just a few miles north of us... EDMOND HIT WITH TORNADO.

Hanging out in the hall with everyone that got stuck between the two tornado warnings.

Stone, me and Alex waiting to move again...this time to the nursery so we could sit front of the TV!

After School Fun

Today after Sonshine School, Stone and I along with half of the school headed to the park... the weather was just too beautiful to not play outside!

Stone loves to climb to the top of this spiderweb and drop down.  

At the top...

Ready to drop... GO!  He had a little fall one time dropping and unfortunately, that pretty much ended his park fun.

Enjoying the Merry Go Round with all of his school friends! 

The Busy Bees getting dizzy!  

There is nothing better than enjoying the park with your school friends! 

Ride like the Wind

Stone got a new bike from Grandma.  Unfortunately, it came right before the great Ice Storm of 2009.  He was constantly asking me when he could ride it... we got a helmet today so he was so excited to finally try it out outside tonight.   I am sure he will enjoy  riding  it the next few days since it is forecasted to be warm.

SuperBowl XLIII

No matter who is playing we always root for the team from the north, and this year it just so happens to be the Steelers.  Stone has a great connection there since that is where my dad and his wife, Jill, live! 

Getting ready for the game... like all good fans we had to listen to the commentary! 

Let the games begin... 

Me and my little Steeler fan... we hope the Steelers win... Stone is off in bed now so I guess he will find out in the morning and I will find out in two minutes; Football time!
