Happy 2nd Birthday John Thomas!!

It is hard to believe that our little gift from God is already two years old!! Oh how time goes by when you are having fun. Our little man is so active and talkative these days. His absolute favorite thing to talk about and play is sports. At the moment, he is obsessed with basketball and baseball. He is even taking a liking to hockey. To give you an idea of his love for sports, as we were walking in to see Elmo Live the night before his birthday he was mad because he saw all the Thunder fans going to the game and wanted to go. Once we got to the convention center across the street from where the Thunder play, he walked in, saw the Elmo stage and said hockey! It is where our OKC Barrons hockey team plays. Since he loves sports so much we had to have a birthday party themed "Sports Galore." Needless to say he, his friends and cousins all had a blast. Gymboree was a perfect place to celebrate our little blessing turning 2!!

Spring Break at the OKC Zoo!

We decided to take a mini spring break trip to the OKC Zoo this week. John Thomas had a wonderful time riding the train, aka "Thomas" and running about seeing all of the exhibits, including the new Elephant Pavilion. The weather was perfect during our first celebration of spring!

All aboard!!

Fun filled weekend!

John Thomas had a weekend of fun! We started off with a great breakfast at Ozzie's at the OU airport. It appears that John Thomas is a lot like his name sake grandpa, he loves airplanes. He would run up to the gate and tell us that the planes go high and would clap upon take off and landings. After breakfast we let him play in his new bounce house from Mimi and Pappi. He had a blast jumping in the beautiful weather. Last but not least, we went to the OKC Barrons hockey game. It was John Thomas' first hockey game and Daddy's second. It was a proud moment for hockey loving mama to see her boys enjoying the game that she grew up watching!
