So John, being the sweet husband that he is, surprised me with a week long trip to Oklahoma to visit all of our amazing friends. Of course, I ruined the surprise when I got mad at him for not doing anything for my real birthday….after fighting he ended up telling me. Sorry babe! Anyway, we had a great time and it was so nice to hang with our friends again…here are some highlights that were caught on camera:

Malachi went bowling for the first time!

Took Malachi back to the OKC Zoo

We had LOTS of rain…this is Brandon and Christi on the way into the Banjo Museum. Just call us die hards.  

All the kids hangin out at Lushberries:

John, Merrick, Ethan and Malachi

The Donaldsons and The Blanchards 

For some stupid stupid reason we didn’t get a pic with the Branson’s! We suck at taking pictures! Thanks for letting us crash with you, Bransons! Now it’s your turn…time to come to CA in a few months!

When Malachi is quiet that is my cue to go check on him…lately it hasn’t always meant something bad, but this time it did:

He colored ALL over his bed…not just the sheets, but the bed frame too. As soon as I saw what he did he said “Ohh pretty!” I couldn’t help but laugh. Yes, his bed is now pretty but teaching this kid to only color on paper won’t be so pretty. Oh my life!
