Sarah and Annie

 Love, love, love watching all of the fun they had together! 

yes, Sarah is only four months older!

Wearing Grammy's glasses!

Playing Peek-a-boo on PaPa's chair

Swimming in Annie's pool.

Sharing a snack...they were so sweet to each other.



Hanging out on Grammy's bead.
Thick at thieves these two!  And at times, it was a love/hate relationship...I mean, lets be honest, they are toddlers. So they were either hugging necks and laughing or snatching something out of the other's hand with and adamant "MINE".  But more so than not, they were enjoying every minute together!

OK Vacay: Headed home!

ahhh...headed home, so bitter sweet.  But one last stop before we get to the great state of Louisiana.  Frisco, TX to see my best friend Stacey and her family. 

Gracie and Sarah.

Miss these two sweet faces some kind of bad!
We enjoyed a nice visit with Stacey and then some lunch.  We started our day at 8AM and got home at 9PM...not too bad considering our stop in Frisco and a potty training two year old.  Lots of great fun and memories on this trip!

Jacobsen/Seat Family Pics 2012

We took our family pics at Fink Park in Edmond. Despite the crazy heat, I think they turned out lovely!










OK Vacay: Edmond...Friday Pt 2

Friday evening was full of fun.  Katie had arranged for us to have Jacobsen/ Seat family pics.  This is a first for us...like our little family of three.  We have never had professional pics done before! I know, I know...I will get better at it; maybe!

Preview pic of family pics.

After pics, we headed to Rob and Katie's to celebrate Gabe's 9th birthday!! (which is really Saturday, but since we'd be traveling, we did it tonight)
#9 for the the Birthday Boy on his 9th bday!

Pic with the birthday boy!

Happy Birthday Gabbers!!!

The Dudes!
Headed back to Grammy's to try and wind down before we hit the road tomorrow for our tip back to Louisiana. It was such a great week, but ready to get back home.

Night, night kisses for Papa.

OK Vacay: Edmond...Friday

Last day in Edmond (sniff, sniff).  We headed to the Science Museum in OKC.  We opted for an indoor adventure since it was so blooming hot!

Another Grammy made shirt...Watermelon!!

Oh...this had such the potential of being a great pic! Ha!

Ready for some fun!

Sarah and Gabe putting on a show.

Cutie Patootie!!

Sarah sliding down the pole in the Fire House.

BUBBLES!!!

We found NEMO!! Although Sarah was a little concerned about also finding his Daddy.

Teeter- totter in the play area with Annie.

Love that smile!

Gabe and Syd "going in to space"!

Our view of them inside the space shuttle!
I love hands on learning -type museums! So much fun for everyone.

OK Vacay: Edmond...Thursday

Thursday morning, we headed to Summit Cafe, just north of Edmond. Chad Jones aka:  "Chops", who Andy knows though the Youngs;  opened up this small diner and he is serving amazing food!  We went for a brunch of sorts and WOW! 
After eating, we headed back to town and did a little shopping.  While we were there, Sarah wanted to get her cousins a "prize"...our version of surprise.  She was super excited to give Annie and Syd their prize when we got back to Grammy's.
Annie and Sarah with thier Dora "lipsticks" and Sydnee with her Hello Kitty nail set.
The afternoon consisted of more swimming at Aunt Katie's house.  Sarah was really testing the waters now.  She would jump off the stairs without me holding her and even let her head go under!

one...two...three!!
JUMP!
Thursday evening, we had made plans with our friends the Gibby's....well, the Gibson's, but no one we know calls them that!  Did I mention how we try to see every last person we can while we are in town?!

Cade and Sarah enjoying a apple snack.  Cade is three months older than Sarah and a sweet, sweet boy!!  He was very hospitable to Sarah, showing her were all of his toys were around the house.

We also got to meet Cade's new baby brother Drew! Only 9 days old and already a handsome little man!

OK Vacay: Edmond...Wednesday

We waited for Gabe and Syd to finish up cage camp this morning and then headed to Pop's.  Such a fun diner/historical spot on the old Route 66, just right outside of Edmond. 
Just about every flavor of "pop" you could imagine.

Gabe and Syd with their pop of choice..."Bubble Up"

Daddy, Sarah and Mommy.

Sydnee, Gabe, Aunt Katie and Annie.

Getting our kicks on Route 66!
Grammy has done it again...made adorable shirts for the girls!!  Since they were all together, we wanted to get pics of them in their shirts.  Who knew we'd have so much fun!

F.U.N.!! Silly girls!
All smiles for these three amigos!
After lunch, we headed home to get the little ones down for a nap.  And while Sarah was sleeping, I headed to OKC to see our friend Jess and her beautiful twins.  These two are such miracles!! They were born four months early and both at just a pound or so each.  They have triumphed over some amazing obstacles and are just thriving right now.  Scarlett in now 13 pounds 11 ounces and Ben is now 14 pounds 4 ounces!!  And their mommy....well, she is just amazing!!  I was so excited to hug these people...you have no idea!

Ms. Scarlett and Benny Boy!
 After dinner that night, we headed out to get snowballs.  Edmond...not so much like south Louisiana in the snowball department.  For starters...they call them snow cones! And another obvious difference...there isn't a snowball location on every corner under a big oak tree...they do however have one in the parking lot of Lowe's on asphalt! ;)  Makes no difference, I suppose, because they kids enjoyed them just the same!
