We had a fabulous time this past week-end visiting our oldest, Emily, at Oklahoma Christian University, Edmond, OK...her home away from home for the past year and a half! It is a beautiful campus and the homecoming festivities beginning with a pep rally, and then a parade and two great basketball games were lots of fun!! The kids all enjoyed staying with Emily and Alex on campus and Larry and I were more than comfortable at the home of his cousin Sarah and her husband Beau. It was great to finally meet and visit with them after hearing so much about them from Em. Knowing that she has them as well as Larry's Aunt and Uncle (Sarah's parents) so close by is reassuring to say the least! We also had the pleasure of meeting Alex's parents and brothers as well. They were just as wonderful as Emily said and we look forward to spending more time with them!
The highlight of the trip of course was seeing Emily cheering once again (we loved watching her cheer in high school) and we couldn't be more proud of her! Connor said it best when he shared these thoughts..."Emily is the best this year and was the best last year and she should be the captain!! Below are more pictures from our great week-end.....

Peyton Marie, my cheerleader! She is the most adorable little thing in this uniform and in general, but yes, I am her Mom!! I so admire her motivation and determination to get into competitive cheerleading beginning with teaching herself to do a cartwheel, a move I sadly admit I never mastered!! Here are a few pictures from her first school cheer performance.....
