A visit to Santa

Baxter was really excited to sit in his lab this year.......FINALLY! He wanted to find Santa to tell him he wanted a puppy and rocket, so we found him at the Bass Pro Shop.....after an hour of waiting in line, but it was soooooo worth it to see him sit on his lab and tell him what he wanted! And guess what he brought just what he asked for and more:)

Polar Express

He hears the ringing of the Santa's sleigh bell:)

Got his ticket punched by the conductor........a "B" for Baxter!

Baxter and Benton with Santa.

It was a magical ride!

My Cowboy

I had to post this even if it is swide ways, me with my good computer skills could not get it turned! Baxter has been wanting a belt with a BIG buckle and boots so we got him some.......if I do say so myself, he is a pretty darn handsome cowboy:)

Hunting Season

October finds Jeremy hunting........here is his 1st big prize of the season........an Elk that he shot in southwestern Oklahoma. He was so excited to get to hunt elk, the only thing we did not have in our front room on the wall, now we do! I was excited for him, it was a great size, Baxter just wondered why he couldn't just go out to his hunting lease and shoot one, I don't think he will find this in Pryor! I know there will be many more animals to come this year, it is an eventful time in our lives:)

Sisters!

Lovin my Les! She came home last weekend from OSU to spend time with us, really with BAXTER!

Trip to Sanger, TX

A few weekends ago we went down to see Damon, Kathy, Dane and Kacee! It was so great to see them, we miss them so much! We went to see Dane play football.........starting quarterback, it was so exciting! We also found some time to go shopping and of course, Cabela's, here is where the kids are posing in front of the bears, it was like going to the zoo for Baxter:)

We went to eat at Babe's, a famous place on I-35 known for their chicken, it was delicious! Of course there was an old tractor in the front and that is where we spent a good hour after dinner while Baxter pretending to be driving!

Another little football player in our future, like his cousin Dane!

1st Day of School

Here is Baxter with his teachers Mrs. Atkins and Mrs. Combs. He loves going all day.......he is being a great leader this year!!!!

Monster Truck!!!

Here is Baxter with grandpa by RAMMUNITION, the monster truck!!!! It was at the Dodge place in Pryor crushing the "cash for clunkers" cars and we were there!!!!! Baxter loved it, made his Saturday afternoon wonderful!!! He even got to meet the driver and look at every part of the truck as LONG as he wanted!

Get Away to Kentucky

Jeremy went to Louisville, Kentucky for a work conference and I tagged along for the week!!!!!! Baxter got to stay with grandma and Essie for the week, he thought he was on his own vacation! We had a good time......ate some good food on the Ohio River, relaxed, went to a baseball game, toured downtown, shopped, enjoyed each others company and saw some cool places! This was us at the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs.

Here was Millionaire Row......I might have set at Michael Jordan's table!!!! They pay $25,000 for a table for 1 day to watch the derby, crazy huh!!!!!1

The winner this year........Mine That Bird, he had the odds of 1 out 50 chance to win, 2nd time in history that a horse with those odds has one!

Few from the winners circle!

We also toured the Louisville Slugger Museum, it was neat to watch the major league players bats being made........Kenny Griffith Jr.'s was being made when we were there! We got Baxter one made with his name on it, I think his daddy was more impressed with it than he was!!!

So here are pics of our vacation on the Disney Cruise........I did it backwards.....so if you go over on the side and start with "Vacationing on the Disney Cruise" you can see it from the beginning!

Lovin the cruise!

Enjoying all of it!

We FINALLY got a pic with Chip & Dale........his next favorites after Donald!

My sweet boy!

Beautiful sunsets!

Pirate Night!

The last night they had a "Pirate Party"! We even got to meet Captain Sparro! It was an awesome night.........it ended with Mickey coming down the zip line and fire works......Baxter was impressed!

Back to the ship!

There is the Disney Wonder!

Had to have a pic by the palm trees!

Back to the ship!

Baxter lovin the salt water of the ocean!

Snorkling......Baxter didn't really get into it, but Jeremy loved it!

Yes, those are my polka-dotted toes.....Leslie talked me into getting them painted like that!

One day the ship ported at the Bahamas.........beautiful island!

Breath taking waters!

We took a carriage ride around the island.

Games, shopping, shows and characters!
