Emergency Preparedness Fair, Carnival and Goats

Two weekends ago we managed to have a fun filled weekend. It started with an emergency preparedness fair at Boomer lake. Basically a bunch of people telling you to get prepared for storm season...blah blah blah. We live in Oklahoma. I know. Well we went for the fun stuff for the kids! The Eagle Med Helicopter came, firetrucks, national guard and more. K had his friends Reagan and Kain come, so the kids had a blast!

The boys (Reagan wanted nothing to do with it) lol

The national guard had some cool stuff!

After the preparedness fair we went home, had lunch and re-energized to go to the Carnival! This random carnival comes into Stillwater every year and sets up in the parking lot of a strip mall. I've never been, but Michele talked me into taking the kids. Kayden had a BLAST! He and Jack teamed up and went over and over and over (thankfully they had all you can ride wrist bands!!!).

They even convinced Michele to take them on a bigger ride since they weren't tall enough.

Thanks Michele!!!!

Jack and Kayden

Sunday morning we kept it simple. We ate yogurt for breakfast, Kayden liked his new flavor...margarita! No tequila involved. It was super tasty! And then that afternoon we headed over to check on the goats!! Who doesn't love sweet little baby goats. =) Even E liked them.

yogurt goodness

GOATS!!!!

K wanted to catch the black one (he's shy and kept running away)

This boy loved the goats!

(I made sister stay outside so she wouldn't get stepped on)

A fun filled weekend!!!

Pre K

So my sweet little boy is going to big kid school next year!

I cannot believe how big he is. I am so proud of this guy and can't wait to see who he becomes as he grows.

Come August he will be a WestWood Eagle!

My big boy!!!! Pre-K here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Easter

Easter happened to fall on the Arts Festival weekend, but luckily I was able to sneak away on Friday and go to the kids Easter Egg Hunt at school. This was the first year that both kids were able to participate so Brett and I split up. He went with K and I went with E. It was so much fun! The kids had a blast, got lots of eggs and we had a great time.

Waiting for the hunt to start

Easter weekend was the due date for Brett's brother Matt and his wife Andrea...
Well a few days early the little guy decided to make his grand appearance!
Baby Gavin and mom (and dad) are doing well!
Brett got the chance to meet him, but I was busy with the arts festival, so I'll meet him soon!

Relaxing before the Arts Festival

The Arts Festival is my big event that I work on all year. Its a 3 day show and takes a lot out of me. So the weekend before I spent lots of quality time with the kids, just having some fun!

The park ended up causing a little boo boo

A few bandaids and some ice cream we were better

Ice cream goodness!

Sunday we headed over to Stephanie and Ralph's farm to see the horses and cows!

And we ended the week with a trip to Chick Fil A to spend time with friends!

Jordan "Jordo" Janway

The one thing that makes you realize how short life is, is the passing of a loved one.
A few weeks ago, we had that happen in the Janway Family. My dad's brother Jack, lost his son Jordan in a sky-diving accident. Jordan or "Jordo" as everyone called him was taken too soon. Although I didn't know him well, I know what it's like to loose a brother and I know that Jordo will be missed greatly.

The good thing that came from his passing was the chance to see my family. Being so far away our trips are far between, but my parents and little sister were able to drive down and spend a few days with me and the kids. I soaked up every minute that I could :)
