Life Lately....

I can't believe that February is already here...this year is flying by! 
On February 2nd, I hosted a baby shower brunch for our dear friends the Wadkins. 
Jennifer is expecting her second baby boy on February 28th. 
Their son, Jackson, was the sign bearer in our wedding...what a sweet big brother he will be!
 (Jackson  also was the trolly chaperone...lol!)




We had a wonderful time visiting, eating and celebrating Jennifer and Baby. 
Thanks for all of your help friends!

On a side note...this baby shower is making me soooo excited for my niece's arrival in July. 
I just purchased her first gift from Etsy...she is going to spoiled by this auntie FOR SURE!
Lindsay will be 19 weeks tomorrow and she felt three kicks on Tuesday night...thank you Father!

 We went to our annual crawfish Super Bowl Party at the Crancer's house.   I always debate the crawfish taste test and then I think about eating the head and say "no thanks!"
I witnessed two large trash sacks full of craw fish being consumed while we were there....Whoa! 

After the party, I packed my bags and left the following morning for my
monthly training at the OK State Department in OKC. 
This week at training, my region had our second lunch with Dr. Barresi.  She is very enlightening to listen to and I'm encouraged by her efforts for state reform.  We also had a visit from a representative with the Barbara Bush Foundation.  Her foundation has paired with Dollar Thrifty to increase parent involvement nationwide.  Oklahoma is now a lucky recipient of these efforts and the REAC3H coaches will assist with the implementation...exciting!
Next month we are scheduled to have breakfast at the capitol with our state reps...We are... busy, busy!

My training weeks are made a little sweeter because I stay in Bristow.
This trip I stayed at Mamo's house and she spoiled me with  two of my favorite meals ...what a treat! 
I enjoy spending time with her and/or my mom and Paul when I'm in town every month. 

 But, I  miss my boys and am excited to see them at the end of the week...

and JOY  on Valentine's Day....Ali
