Home Is Where The Horns Are!

We recently found out that we will be moving to Edmond, Oklahoma (suburb of OKC). I am really not sure I have ever even been to Oklahoma, much less know much about it. The good news is everyone who is from there or has lived there LOVES it. The other news is that I have to find a school for Drew who starts kindergarten in September and a pre-school for Kenna! I did get a great list from my brother, Clay, that I had to share... Hook 'Em Horns!

1. If I ever see you guys having any OU sport gear or items , by all means stay there, don't even consider coming back to Texas except for holidays.

2. If you stay in Oklahoma more than 10 years also don't come back to Texas. Same rule applies to me as far as North Carolina. ( Hey, I gotta be fair right?)

3. I don't know what those Okies do for fun up there but to be safe, DON'T DO IT! Unless you have a first aid kit.

4. If asked a question where the answer involves the number two always
reply with the hook em horns sign.

5. When arguing with an Okie be sure to point out your from Texas and you will win every argument.

6. If you are visiting Texas after the move and get pulled over by the cops and you give them your Oklahoma drivers license, always tell them you are only living there temporary. You will get off with just a warning.

7. When relatives visit, apologize profusely tell them the location is only temporary. You will also get away with just a warning. ,,

8. If asked a question that the answer involves the number four, give
them two hook em horns signs. ,, ,,

9. If you get pulled over by cops in Oklahoma, mention you are from Texas and only living here temporary and they will apologize for stopping you and let you off with just a warning.
10. When asked a question that involves the number one, give them the
finger. ,l,,

With the exception of maybe number 4 and 8, you will do just fine.

Drewisms

We recently celebrated our sweet little Drew's 5th Birthday! He's a sweet, smart and funny little guy who never stops making us laugh with his "Drewisms":

• "You're making me angry"! - Back-talking
• "You can color, if you want" - When trying to get someone to color with him!
• "Come on, Bean Pot" - When asking Kenna to follow him somewhere
• "Are you finkin' what I am finkin'" - When he has a "great idea" for what we should do next
• "I'm Fluting You" - Blowing raspberries on you :)
• "I'm just having a joke with ya!" - When he's kidding
• "Because that's how I roll" - Usually comes after I ask "Why did you just..."
• "Wicked cool" or "Rockin cool" - When he likes something A LOT!
• "You're the best mommy in my whole world!" - Awwww
• "Kenna, I very love you" - Expressing his love for his sister!
• "May you please get me something to drink, please may you" - When trying to be polite
• "You're not the boss of me" - More back-talking
• "That's Ridiculous" - When something doesn't make sense to him.

And some pics of my little man through the years and his recent bowling party and birthday!

Enjoying a birthday present from The Millers (this is how he came downstairs in that morning after waking up)

We love you Little Man! "You're the best son in our whole world!"

Happy New Year, Birthday!

This time of year is always busy for the Snyders! We celebrated She-She's birthday on December 15 (HAPPY DAY!) Following a crazy busy holiday, we celebrated Bobby's birthday on the 7th! Happy Birthday, Bobby!!! As he said to my mom, it gets a little less eventful as we get older (which I completely understand, as I no longer even enjoy celebrating my birthday), but we still enjoyed some good food and company.

Uncle Clay stayed with us for two weeks - we really had a great time and Drew always enjoys his Uncle Clay time!

Pics...

More to come - I hope to get better at updating!

Spooktacular Fun!

Just catching up on pics. This past month, we've enjoyed the pumpkin patch, trick or treating and Canton with my girlfriends! We spent our Halloween with friends Ken and Stacy and their boys Kennedy and Slader along with Lynn and the girls. We had pizza (thanks, Lynn!) and Bloody Mary's! Mmmmmm... Here are some pics from the last few weeks. Enjoy!

"Is this the one?"




She-She and G joined us for Drew's Halloween Party at school...

More cute pictures of Baby Sofia!!

Kenna has decided she loves crawling up in my chair and "working" like mommy. She even uses the mouse like she knows what she is doing! So, we gave her her own keyboard and a chair in the office, so I can get some actual work done, and she can still feel like she is "working".

Kenna just being cute :)

Drew being cute...

'Til Next Time!

Happy Birthday, Papa, Daddy Bob who celebrated on the 14th!!! We Miss You!

Happy Birthday, Family! And to many, many more!!!!

Whatcha Lookin' At?

This picture of Kenna just cracks me up!!!

So, lots to catch up on... In no particular order....

We met Jenn and Eric (along with my parents) in Waco to catch up on birthdays, Jenn's trip to Greece, etc... We enjoyed a great Cajun lunch and got to open lots of goodies from JennEric.

Bo took Carrine out for a very nice birthday dinner!

Lots of playground time since the weather is so nice! (And, check out Drew's clothes that, of course, he picked out himself!)

Dinner out for my birthday!

Carrine made me a strawberry cake for my birthday ~ mmmmm....

Drew and I went on "The Great Balloon Hunt". Balloon Festival was a few weeks ago, and we enjoyed driving around chasing hot air balloons!

One even landed in his school parking lot and he thought that was so cool...


And, finally, Drew just had his first annual bike-a-thon at his school! He did 18 laps!!!

Our top fundraisers and my good friends, The Spauldings! Ron, Rayne and Sadie! Go, Rayne, with your fundraising skills!!!

This is my "partner in crime" Stacy... We get lots of shopping time in while the boys are in school! We had the best looking "sign girl" of the day!

This is our "after school" group - Skyler, Slader, Josh, Luke and Drew. The boys like to gather by these benches after school and play. Most of these boys have been in the same class since they were 18 months old, but will all go to different schools next year!

Worn out after a long day of biking!

Hope everyone is enjoying this weather! I know we are!!!
