Birthday Calendar

Ok, so as most of you know, and for those who don't, I have started a Birthday Calendar to keep up with everyone's birthdays. One of my New Year's Resolutions is to send birthday cards to everyone for their Special Day...Well, Sunday afternoon Ory was looking at the calendar to see who has a birthday coming up and he said "Mommy, you don't have a birthday on here" I asked him who he we were missing and he said "Who's birthday is on the 25th?" I just smiled at him and said "Who?" He responded with "Well, Baby Jesus." So he proceeded to get the pen out and wrote Jesus birthday on the 25th. He was so proud of himself as was I!! I just wanted to share with everyone how proud I am of him taking the time to remember the most important person for our Birthday Calendar!!
FYI----If you have not sent me yours, your spouses, and/or kids birthdays and would like to be part of my New Year's Resolution feel free to send them to me (oryvic@cox.net)!! I would love to have them!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!

We Are So Excited!!!

Dan and I have been talking for awhile now about going on an Alaskan Cruise for our 10yr Anniversary in May 2009. Well, it is finally official and BOOKED!!! We are so excited and can't wait!! We will be flying out of Tulsa May 23, 2009 and will fly to Anchorage, Alaska where we will take a shuttle to Wittier, Alaska and get on the ship....we will then cruise thru the Glacier Nat'l Park and stop at Skagway, Ketchikan, and Juneau and will end at Vancouver, BC on May 30, 2009.
We just feel so blessed that we are going to be able to take this trip...I know it will be a trip and anniversary we will never forget!!!

What a Wonderful Day...

What a GREAT day....got to stay home with Ory and Addy today since the weather came in icy!! It was so nice to just be able to do nothing but play with them ALL DAY!!! When you work full time 5 days a week the weekends are catch up grocery shopping and cleaning house days so I don't feel like I spend enough time with them...so, when I have a day off during the week I enjoy it soooo much!!! I could definately be a stay at home mom (if the finances would allow)!!!! So those of you that are able to stay home I envy you so much!!!!! What a blessing it is for you!!!

Now, for you "professional" bloggers, I need some help!! I would like to find a cute background like you girls have BUT can't figure out where to go besides the ones on Blogger....so, if someone would like to give me some input I would LOVE SOME!!!! Thanks!!! Can't wait for comments!!

Just Getting Started...

Okay so here goes.....I have been hearing about everyone's blogs here lately and how addicting this is....I have enjoyed reading everyone's so much that I have decided to "Jump on the Bandwagon" and maybe give this a try!!! I just love reading all of the inspiring events going on in everyone's lives and it has made me stop and think a lot about my life....I have never really been an outgoing person and always kept our life pretty private....I don't socialize a whole lot (except for my monthly BUNCO get-together, which I absolutely LOVE!!!)....You girls are AWESOME!!! So, I thought this might be a good "get me started" thing!!
I think it will be fun to share what is going on with my family.....we don't really lead an exciting/eventful life so we will see how this goes!!! If nothing else I will have LOTS of pictures to show of my kiddos, who I am so very proud of!!! I LOVE taking pictures of them.....so here is the 1st one to show!! This was our Fall Picture taking session.......
