More Piktors

At the end of July, Meme came for a visit!

Grandma Payne bought Emma a couple of dresses - this is one of them! Beautiful!


Mama Bo Peep? (Is it just me, or does Joseph have a I-can't-believe-she's-acting-so-silly-and-immature look on his face?)




Emma in her lovely dress and Daddy in his handsome shirt



Nana and Joseph at Poppie's party





Another truck at the same intersection!






Middle of July, we went to Missouri to celebrate Aaron's Dad's 60th Birthday (yay!). We were in town when we saw this disgusting sight: a Tyson chicken truck. If you can look closer, note the condition of the pens, the appearance of the birds (filthy and lethargic!), and that there are also actually dead birds too! I'm not going to be a hypocrite and say that this is the reason we should never ever buy agribusiness food. I'm just going to say this is motivation for me to buy more chicken from our local co-op.







First bath together and no body parts in the picture! Go Aaron!





Middle of July we experimented with putting on music for bedtime. This was taken 10 minutes after I turned it on.




All she could do is spin around a bit in the pool, but her feet were wet and she loved it!






4th of July festivities in our backyard - nope, there's no diaper














4th of July at the Splashpad in Norman - possibly when Joseph got a parasite. :(






Joseph and "Reena"






Karina and Emma in FTW







Before our visit to FTW in June - Little Jo Peep

And We're 3!!

Aaron and I are celebrating our anniversary today. We chuckled (and grimaced) at the fact that it hasn't been much of a romantic day. Aside from Aaron surprising me by coming home early with flowers and a sweet card, our day has been rather down-to-earth. Lots of human waste, lots of whining, some vomit, and did I mention lots of human waste? Ahh...oh well. It fits perfectly with the era of life we are in right now. :)


In 3 years we have lived in 3 places, had 2 children, gained many pounds, changed jobs twice, and changed our views on just about everything. Grace sure has abounded, and we're counting on more. :)

I'm 2!!!
