newport

We never been those people that have family or friends that own (or rent) beach houses!

Soo we've been looking forward to this end of summer work trip. We stayed at a house right on newport beach. I was feeling extra barfy driving to Cali (also dying because we had just made the trek from Oklahoma a few days before, i will be fine with no roadtrips for a loooong time) Once I got to the beach house, i was feeling happy. I think its easy to be distracted by nausea when you're having fun...which is nice. I just need to stay at the beach for the next 4-5 weeks. But still, the lack of an appetite for anything is a bummer on a fun trip.. Especially when you get taken out to sweet restaraunts every day! Another bummer was I forgot my camera! I remembered to charge it the night before but left it. Luckily-none other than Connie took pictures for me:) We had so much fun on the trip. The group was so fun to hang out with..you could always count on laughing & having a good time. Steven was saying how much he missed the guys today. awww..

family pictures

Our friend Connie took our pictures last Saturday. I really wanted some pictures taken here in Okly since its so pretty & green! I was so sick this day, i could feel my fever coming back & I was trying so hard not to sneeze or i wouldnt stop. also the 100 degree humidity, being a genius & wearing a longsleeve plaid shirt didnt help much. But i was so happy with how they turned out. Connie did such a great job! These are just a few, I loved all of them. She posted more of our pictures on her photography blog if you wanna see..also the pictures are way bigger on her blog so they look better:)

our last weekend in okc

after being stuck in the house, sick all week..the weekend was a major high! there is a railroad park nearby that has train rides every other saturday. I knew my boys would love this since they're all still in love with choo-choos. i could tell they loved being at a train station being able to ride a real train. to embry every train is the "po espwess"

afterwards, we walked through the train yard & looked around.

they had this old box car that some guy told us they are currently filming a movie inside it.

this is the inside. not a very good angle but there was so much detail in here it was crazy! Its killing me, i need to know what movie!

bastien was pretty upset (putting it lightly) when we had to go. i dont know, but it seems like his tantrums are crazier than ever. they are filled with.."you're the meanest mom & i dont want a family anymore!" the best/weirdest one was when we left the zoo & bastien yelled at me "I hope a spider bites you mommy!" they mostly make me laugh because what else is there to do!?

after steven came home from work

(after today, saturdays are normal saturdays again!)

we ate cupcakes for dinner at a place called "cuppies & joe" (cause cupcakes are always a good dinner, right?)

at the mall, people had built oklahoma city out of legos, it was pretty cool.

and jappy got a haircut! it was way overdue.

doesnt he look so handsome?
