Dereks Wedding

My brother got married yesterday!  What a fun & wonderful day!  Odie was the best man & Paytyn was the flower girl.  They got married here in Tonkawa at the First Baptist Church!  Congratulations to the newlyweds!

It was such a nice winter wedding & we all had a really nice time!  Congratulations to the newly married Mr. & Mrs. Sinor!  Welcome to the family Nicole!

My new creations

So, one day I decided to start making Paytyn a few shirts!  My mom helped me out & I have to say they turned out great for my first time EVER sewing or doing anything semi-crafty!  :)  Here's some of the ones that are completed!

 We love our SOONERS!  

 And love our COLTS!

Couldn't figure out how to make it right side up :)

I really had a great time & can't wait to see how much I can improve in the future!  

My Birthday @ Hard Rock

How blessed am I? I had an amazing 28th Bday with our great great friends!  Odie took me to Tulsa to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino!  I enjoyed a day with my best friend Megan who took me to lunch & we got pedicures. Then, we met up with the men and met up with some of Odies former teammates & their wives.  We truly enjoyed each others company!  What a night to remember!

Fall Festival Fun

First, I want to say how blessed we all are to still have all four of our grandparents alive & healthy!  I've learned over the years to embrace every moment I can spend with them.  Paytyn is so blessed to be getting the opportunity to know & love them!  NOW, on that note, we went to my grandparents, Paytyns great grandparents' church for a festival!  What fun we had & it was so cute to see them show her off to everyone.  They were so proud & I just truly cherished every moment we had that day!  Paytyn got to do all kinds of fun stuff!  She picked out a pumpkin (it was something special for her and grandpa to do) and then jumped on the blow up toys and went to a petting zoo!  Such an amazing day!

She does love to pose

With the pumpkin only grandpa could pick with her!  What a special bond they have!

Again...posing

with THE BEST grandparents & great grandparents anyone could hope for...

Overall, it was another great memory with two of the most important people in Paytyn & Is lives!  We love you both more than words can express!

Halloween 2010

Halloween was so fun this year!  Paytyn got SO excited!  She won best overall costume in the Tonkawa costume contest.  There were so many cute kids, but everytime Diva P walked by the judges she blew kisses and posed!  It was hysterical & adorable!  Her favorite movie is Wizard Of Oz, so Dorothy was a no-brainer for us!  Well, that's not entirely the truth, Michael Jackson was a close runner up.  Spending Halloween with GiGi & PaPa and being close to Aunts/Uncles, Great Grandparents was a true blessing and we cherish every moment we have with all of them!  

Best Costume!!  With the Runner-ups...all so cute though!

She's ready, but where's ToTo?

It's Official-Officer Sinor

My brother graduated from CLEET and is officially a Ponca City Police Officer!  We are SO proud of him!  We got to go to Dereks graduation in Ada.

Moving again?

Its official! We will be moving again in February to...are you ready?  Phoenix Arizona!  Yes, its Arizona again!  This time beautiful Phoenix!  Yes, Odies going to play for the Arizona Rattlers Arena Football Team!  We are excited, but to be honest, Ive grown to DISLIKE MOVING PASSIONATELY! We loved it the first time, but boy is it HOT! Odie had such a successful year last year...and we are so excited to be Rattlers next season!  Weve lived in (and in this order): Tulsa, Orlando, FL, Tulsa, Casa Grande, AZ, Tulsa, now Phoenix, AZ!!  Its safe to say boredom is NOT experienced in our household...

Its not even Halloween yet...

Its Wednesday, and weve been to a Halloween party everynight this week! Monday was a party at Paytyns Great-Grandparents church in Ponca City. She was a little frightened at first, but finally got into it! Then, last night, we went to GiGis hospital for a Bingo Halloween Bash!  Paytyn made some new friends, while Daddy, Mommy, PaPa and GiGi LOST MISERABLY at Bingo...

We had so much fun! Tomorrow night we have a Halloween party in Tonkawa downtown and then Friday one in Ponca. Then, Saturday Arkalala in Kansas and then trick-or-treating, then Halloween Sunday!  What fun!

Diva Ps 3rd Bday

Every year, I try and pick a birthday theme for Paytyns parties.  I know it wont be too long before she has her own opinion, so I take full advantage of this! :) We LOVE The Princess & The Frog, so we just knew this was the theme for this year!  What a great time! Last year, we were in Arizona, so it was nice to be able to celebrate her real birthday with family...

 I found a company on the internet that makes birthday shirts....it turned out great!

Fall Photos 2010

GO OU!

Cutest OU fan I KNOW!

Sisters!

We decided to take a few fall photos while Shia was here this past weekend for Paytyns bday.  We all like OU except Odie (FLORIDA guy), so we decided to wear our favorite teams and have a  little photo shoot.  It was so fun and exciting since it was on Paytyns bday.
