Farris Family Christmas...more to come :)

My handsome boys

This is a little late as it was taken at the pumpkin patch in October, but better late than never, right?!!  I have several more to add, but I'll have to add them later :)

Bathtime fun!

Carter is sitting on his own now so we can put him in the sink for baths instead of using the baby tub in the sink.  He loved splashing around in the water!  Natalie was such a great little helper.

8 Years Ago Today

Travis and I were in Hawaii getting married!  Today I was running errands with two cranky kids in my comfy clothes....a far cry from the quiet, romantic day in my wedding gown!  Mom is keeping all 3 kids tonight though so we will at least have a quiet dinner....THANK YOU MEMAW!

6 Months!

Our sweet boy is getting so big!  He has RSV right now so we have been at the pediatrician several times over the past few weeks.  The day before he turned 6 months, he weighed a whopping 18lbs 1oz!  Big boy!  He can sit alone for a few seconds (although not long enough for me to get far enough away from him to take a pic of his whole body, thus the limb chop on this one!)  He has rolled over from back to front a few times. 

Weather Festival

The National Weather Center in Norman held it's annual Weather Festival this morning and of course the Wilson Family as there!  They were expecting 50 storm chasing vehicles...one was of course the center of the show

The kids enjoyed climbing inside

Wonderfall

The church puts on a huge carnival each year at halloween.  The kids loved it!  They had bounce houses, slides, games and tons of other activities that we just didn't make it to. 

Carter in his Bear costume.

This was Nathan's costume when he was a baby too!

Princess Natalie

Nathan with his friend Sarah. 

She sits next to him at school and is also in his Sunday School class.

Nathan and Natalie jumping around in the bounce house!

Natalie playing Plinko

This was my all time favorite game on The Price is Right.  Growing up, Kristin and I would watch the show with grandma every morning.  We lived for them to play Plinko.  We even made a Plino board of our own when we were kids.  Hammered nails into a board and used checkers to slide down it!  So much fun.  Kristin thinks her mom still has the board :)  Ahhhhh the days of childhood!

Nathan tossing wet sponges at some girl's face

That is one game I wouldn't have volunteered to do :)

Nathan trying to dunk the poor guy in the dunk tank.

It was soooooo cold, I bet that guy was freezing!

I wouldn't have volunteered for this one either!

We will trick or treat in our neighborhood on Sunday night, should have lots of fun pics to share afterwards!

Nathan Recognized at Jefferson's Assembly Today!

Each month Jefferson recognizes 2 students from each grade for their artwork and this month Nathan's work was chosen!  The kids got to walk across the stage as their artwork was shown on the huge screen on stage for everyone to see.  He was so proud of himself!!  He also had a speaking part for Red Ribbon Week.  Each class had one child stand up and say something about drug awareness...Nathan represented Mrs. Coffman's class!! 

Here is a pic of our little artist walking across the stage as his picture was shown...

 And here he is just after coming off stage....look how proud he was!!

4.3 Earthquake in Norman!

According to the USGS there was an earthquake 6 miles east of Norman this morning!  I felt it, heard it and saw it!  CRAZY!  I was sitting on our bed playing with Carter when I heard what sounded like a really loud airplane flying overhead.  Soon the rumble became way too loud to be an airplane and the walls started shaking, the bed was moving and the dresser in our room was swaying!  It only lasted for a few seconds but it was scary! 

Natalie was clueless.  I was shouting at her from across the house to come to our room but she didn't even hear me she was so focused on the cartoon on her TV.  Silly girl! 

Nathan was at school and I have not had a chance to talk to him about it.  We got an automated call from the school saying that Norman had an earthquake but that all kids were ok and that the facility did not have any damage so school would continue as usual. 

Travis was in his car here in town but didn't feel or hear it.  He is sooooo bummed!

Anyway, here is a map showing the epicenter... (you have to click on the picture to see the full map)

4 Months!

So my sweet boy is 4 months old today. He's grown so much over the past few months, and has doubled his birth weight already!  At the pediatrician's office yesterday he weighed 16 lbs 15 oz.  Here are a few pics from earlier this afternoon...

Remember this basket?
