Fair, Baby Addie & OKC

Well...it has been a busy couple of weeks. We have had an addition to the family, met some "wild" animals, and Kevin and I took a mini vacation!

First and most importantly, the addition to the family. Addie Jo Smith arrived Tuesday night July 7th at 11:34 (if my memory serves me). She weighed 7 lb 10 oz (same as Parker) but was an inch longer - 21 inches. She must have been good and curled up tight, because Aunt Loni sure didn't show it! She is such a cute baby...

A week later...

Parker is not quite sure what to think. He gets pretty jealous when I hold Addie, but he is slowly, but surely getting better. I'm sure within the next year, he will be teaching Addie all kinds of things!

And look at the bad things that Mom is already teaching her baby. She must be a smart girl, she learned that while she was still inside her mommy!

The weekend after Addie was born was the County Fair. The M&M ball team always plays in the softball tournament and we always have a good time. This time was no exception, but it certainly could have been a bit cooler! It has been a long time since we sweat that much! Between games Parker enjoyed looking at the geese, hens, and rabbits.

Then just this last weekend Kevin and I took a trip to Oklahoma City 1) to get away - it has been a long time and 2) to celebrate Kevin's upcoming 30th birthday. We arrived Friday early afternoon. Neither of us had really been down there, but we guessed a GREAT hotel. Our room was in center field for their baseball field. Too bad they were playing out of town that weekend. Plus the hotel was within walking distance to everything. We headed first to the Memorial. Very beautiful place!

Then that night we walked to the Water Walk - AMAZING! We first ate at Toby Keith's Bar and Grill (yummy) and then hit up the bars, clubs, and just enjoyed the scenery. OKC definitely takes pride in this area!

There were boat rides down the river, a person doing flame-throwing, horse carriage rides, and just the ultimate night life. Saturday morning we slept in then drove (the only place we drove all weekend) about 20 minutes to a casino. We didn't have any luck there - darn it! Headed back to our hotel, but stopped at Bass Pro Shop and shopped around there for a while. Then we went out to eat at a great Italian restaurant, Zio's. So good! It was still early when we left there, so decided to go to a movie. If you haven't seen Hangover - it is a must see (if you are an adult!!!). Hilarious! Did the night scene again and called it a evening. Sunday we ate at IHOP before we headed home. What a great, relaxing, fun weekend! Thanks to both Grandma's for watching Parker!! From what I can tell, he didn't miss us much!
