More pictures from Oklahoma.....

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Oklahoma City during the hurricane. It was Abigail's first birthday and she also had her 1st professional haircut. I cut it when she was 6 months old, so she's had 2 haircuts already and she's only 1. Thanks again Aunt Candice and Uncle Mark for letting us have Abigail's birthday party spur of the moment at your house!! We love you!

Before.....

How cute is this? Looking at herself..

After....

How ugly is this cake?? That's what you get for last minute I guess. I'm just going to tell her that Kaden wrote on it for her.

The family...Love you!

Happy Birthday Abigail!

Happy 1st Birthday Abigail!!

I can't believe a year has gone by. It seems like yesterday was the day she was born. She's walking, talking (mostly her own language, but still talking a Lot), has had 2 haircuts already and has 3 teeth (they are slow to come in, but that doesn't stop her from eating). She's the best thing that's ever happened to me and she has such a wonderful personality. I truly am blessed. Here are a couple of pictures from Abigail's birthday last week. These are from Candice's camera. I still haven't got mine loaded onto the computer yet. I will hopefully get to that tomorrow. I have some good ones of her eating cake and opening presents. Wasn't Abigail so cute?!

Hurricane Drill.....

So, I'm sure you all know how the hurricane turned out. Did some damage, but not to Victoria. Guess we could just call it a drill. Erica and I got some practice in fleeing. We packed up and headed to Oklahoma City on Thursday. We didn't want to chance it with the babies. It ended up turning away from us and we didn't even get rain and the wind only blew 35 mph or so. Typical day in Oklahoma. So, it turned out good here. And we got to have a nice visit with some friends and family. Abigail's birthday was on Saturday. She's the big 1 year! We had a little spur of the moment party. It was great and thank you Aunt Candice and Uncle Mark for letting us have it at your house. We love you! I'll post pictures of it soon. Abigail also got her first professional haircut. Pictures of the great weekend to come.......

An adventurous day....

Today has been crazy.....I got cursed out by one of my girl students today. She dropped the f-bomb on me in front of the whole class. Good times. Then we had to spend the afternoon getting our classrooms ready for Hurricane Ike. That's right, hurricane. Apparently it has a bulls eye on us and the district cancelled classes for the rest of the week (along with all the other districts around us). The town seems to be in a bit of a frenzy, some gas stations are out of gas, supplies such as water and batteries are selling like hot cakes, the bank had about 20 cars in the drive thru when I went (I didn't stop either). Right now there is a voluntary evacuation, but a mandatory evacuation is going to happen. Just not sure when it will be put into place. My dad has spent the afternoon boarding up the house. There are already houses boarded up all over the place, along with the giant grocery store boarding its windows too. Towns around us are evacuating, so I'm sure traffic is going to be interesting. Hopefully not a nightmare. I'm still not sure where we're heading. At first we were thinking San Antonio, but now we're not so sure that's far enough away, so we may end of in Oklahoma for several days. My first hurricane, and from what it sounds it's going to be a doozy. Category 3 possibly 4 when it hits land. For those of you who don't know, Victoria is only 30 miles from the water. Guess we'll see what happens. I just hope the house is in one piece when we get back.
