Liesel's {1st} Homecoming

On Friday night we went up to Stillwater for the walkaround.  It is OSU homecoming tradition to walk around and look at all the fraternity and sorority house decs.  I was in a sorority so I participated in this while I was in school.  When you think about it now it seems like such a waste of time but what would we do without the walkaround every year?  It is so fun!  Tarren graciously even wore a shirt that had some orange stripes on it.  He is not Cowboy fan, mind you, but he did try.  He opted not to wear his Chiefs hat because he did not want anyone to think he was a Nebraska fan.  That would have been a real tragedy.  I forgot my camera so I had to take pictures with my cell phone.  I apologize for that.  I didn't take any pics of the house decs but I did take a picture in front of my sorority house with my little future A Dee Pi.  Isn't she cute?  She looks really interested too.  She did have a good time though.  The walkaround is good for lots of people and dog watching.

Here's one of the family too

My Birthday!

I had a great birthday party yesterday.  Yes, I turned 30!  I know, it's pretty crazy.  Thank you to everyone who came and ate pizza with us.  It was fun.  Here is a picture of everyone taken on my new camera that I got from Tarren and Liesel for my birthday.  You can take panoramic photos.  I think it is a pretty cool feature.

The Park

Liesel's first time in the swing at the park. She did like it. She just never smiles for the camera.

Liesel's First Camping Trip

So, I know this is a few weeks late but we went camping over Memorial Day weekend.  It was Liesel's first experience spending that much time in the great outdoors and she handled it very well.  She really likes being outside though.  She likes to lay underneath the shade of the pecan tree in our backyard and just stare up into the leaves and branches as they sway in the wind.  Whenever we do that it makes me want to go to sleep.  Maybe she will learn that soon and we can both take a nap.  Anyway, back to camping.  Like I said, Liesel handled it well despite the noisy college age people there who talked until 4am.  Next time we go camping we won't camp on a river on a holiday weekend.  We did have fun though with Tarren's sister's family.  We will definitely go again soon.  Well, maybe in the fall when it is a bit cooler.  Here are some pictures of our adventure.  As you can see, it was pretty tame but we did sleep in tents at least.  Liesel's favorite part was rolling around on the air mattress. 

Playtime with Mommy and Daddy

This post is really only pictures.  We like to get down on the floor and play!

Go Pokes!

Here is a picture of Liesel watching the Cowboys beat the Jayhawks on Saturday.  She loves her Cowboys!  She also loves to chill on the couch with no pants on.  Aww...just like her Daddy.  And look at those beautiful blue eyes!
