Agility Training / A Quiet Family Day!

Finally, after many weekends in a row of going to Oklahoma to work on our old house that we're hoping to sell SOON, we finally enjoyed a nice quiet day as a family. We went to church this morning, came home and made breakfast burritos for lunch, and watched the kids play with Pebbles & Boomer while Charley cooked rotissarie chickens on the grill. After we eat, we're having brownies & icecream for dessert and wathcing Disney's "Meet the Robinsons." Ahhhh, to finally relax, even if only for one day!

4th Grade Music Performance / Cody's Art

Bradley had his 4th grade music performance this week. I have to say, we were quite impressed. They have only been in school for 9 weeks and it was a job very well done by all the kiddos! The performance was called "Texas Are Texas" and they sang songs about Texas and told a story about our state. Bradley got to play the maraccas and thought that was pretty cool. *ALSO* I must tell you... while we were at the school, we stopped by an art showcase and were happy to see Cody's fantastic artwork. He is quite a talented little artist. I could pick his painting out from a distance without seeing names as his was so much more detailed than the others. Funny thing (Cody always does funny things) all the paintings were of sea life. It was drawn in black marker and then done in watercolor paint. Cody's picture had sharks below the water, and on the water surface line you could see the bottom half of the boat with an anchor hanging down. At the waterline, he had drawn a bottle and the label read "BEER!" Only our child. Crazy thing is, I never drink beer and Charley drinks a 12 pack over the course of a year! He must have been thinking of his Papa while he was in art class!!!

Adoption Update

For all of you who follow this blog, but do not keep up with the adoption blog (www.journeytosamantha.blogspot.com) here is the latest in our adoption journey. Exactly one month ago, we were officially DTV (Dossier To Vietnam) which means all of the documents we have been gathering and preparing over the past six months are finally in Vietnam! Now we are just waiting to get a call from our agency to tell us they have matched us with our baby! That call could come any day, but I am thinking it will probably be sometime in November. We are so excited and cannot wait to get our little girl home with us!

Game Prep!

Kristen, Bradley & Cody are always eager to put up "THE DUDE" on game days, especially when we're playing another Texas team. There are a lot of Texas team fans on our street, and the Field family makes it clear, we are all about OU!

BOOMER - - - - - - SOONER!

We had a great weekend! Our great friends Chris & Lindsey from Oklahoma came down and spent the weekend with us. We had a watch party at our house for the OU vs Texas game. As you can see in the pictures, the guys were proud of their team! Charley, Rich & Chris took down the neighbor's Texas flag and hung our OU flag in it's place! And you can see what happened to the Texas flag!!!

True OU Fans!

Bradley & Cody are ready for THE GAME tomorrow! Can you tell who they're pulling for???
