The Great Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-28T08:47:00.014-05:00

We went to the Grider Family Farm Pumpkin Patch on Sunday. It is about 30 minutes away from Cushing. All of the schools take trips out there and we've made the trip every year as a family too. It is a giant farm with a giant real live pumpkin patch-unlike any "pumpkin patch" we've ever visited. So neat to see all of that land covered in pumpkins. Here are a few of our pictures from our trip Sunday. Our friends Jonathan and Ashly joined us as well.

Searching for the perfect pumpkin.

This one is Kreed's size.

Pat the pumpkin.

Kaedyn found the perfect one for Kreed.

He liked it too. Look Mom!

Kyle's perfect pumpkin.

Kaybre's perfect pumpkin. (Although she changed her mind several times.)

Kaedyn just wanted one she could carve and that was green.

We also searched for the perfect gourd in a separate gourd patch. We found it!

Jonathan also spotted the perfect pumpkin. It may be the Great Pumpkin. I think he was pretty excited. :)

Licking the frosting bowl -or spoon-or spatula-or egg beaters- clean. :)

Homecoming Princess Video

2008-09-30T10:43:00.005-05:00

Well, here it is. I finally figured out how to get a video on here. Hope you enjoy it! (Jordan is a girl that goes to church with us and got Kaybre the job.) :)

Student of the Month

2008-09-29T13:44:00.006-05:00

Kaedyn got Student of the Month today at the assembly at her school. She makes us proud!
This is a picture of her with her teacher, Ms. McNeil.

Homecoming Princess

2008-09-26T22:39:00.002-05:00

Kaybre got to be the flower girl at the Homecoming Game tonight. She has been very excited and has been counting down the days until Homecoming. Finally it arrived and she did great. Here is a slide show of some of the pictures. Enjoy!

A Rotten Pumpkin

2008-09-26T09:13:00.002-05:00

I made a cake yesterday for our small group friend's birthday. It started out great. Finished it around 4pm. But before 6pm it started to rot. :) The top 2/3 of the cake was just too heavy and by the time I got it to our small group it looked like it had been sitting on the front porch a little too long. It was still goooooood. It just looked more authentic I guess. :) This is a before rotting picture. You can already tell it was starting to lean.

Show and Tell

2008-09-26T09:01:00.006-05:00

Kaybre had show and tell on Tuesday. And she was in charge of snack that day too. (Bananas.) She wanted to take her beloved brother Kreed. It's funny because Kaedyn took Kreed about 2 years ago for her show and tell to the very same classroom. He must be something special!

Off He Goes

2008-09-24T14:30:00.008-05:00

Kyle left yesterday evening to go to South Africa for two weeks. He was invited to speak at the Southern Africa Bible College lectureship. After the lectureship he is going to a retreat for the youth and speaking there. He will be very busy. I don't have any pictures this go round but much is happening this week so stay tuned. Please keep Kyle in your prayers as he is preaching the Word and is away from his family. :) I am including a clock that shows the time in South Africa just for fun.

American Idol!

2008-09-15T09:30:00.011-05:00

Kyle and I got to go to the last American Idol tour show in Tulsa on Friday night with our good friends Kris and Larry. It was so much fun to see all of those people that we followed all through the season. Our seats were great! (Perfect for a little zoom camera.) It was amazing to see the range in ages of the people that came. Lots of great grandma and grandpa looking people. Some right in front of us. They didn't stand very often and they brought their binoculars. But I think they still had a great time. I almost wish I had hearing aids so that I could have turned them off during the show. The screaming was unreal. Still, it was a blast and I hope we get to go again someday. :) And maybe even take the kids.

Mr. Turtle Wants a Job

2008-09-12T14:05:00.006-05:00

Mr. Turtle wants a Job by Kaedyn Wright.

One day Mr. Turtle thought about getting a job. He went to the Water Park he asks for a job BUT they say NO! So he went home and swam his own pool. Then he went to the Artists house he asks for a job BUT he said NO! So he went home drew his own picture then he went to the Book Shop. He asks for a job BUT he says NO! So he went his house and made his own book. Then he went to the Book Shop and shows it to him and it was called Mr. Turtle wants a Job and then… HE GOT A JOB Hurray! He says. THE END!

This is a story that Kaedyn wrote this summer. Kids are able to write and share their stories at school by putting them in the library. (There is a special shelf just for these.) She came home and decided to type it all out. It took her about an hour to type the whole thing. She was very proud and couldn't wait to take it to school. She really wants to have it published. Maybe someday!

Just Some Pictures

2008-09-09T10:16:00.001-05:00

Famous?

2008-09-09T09:06:00.005-05:00

Famous? Well that all depends... On who's watching at 6:20a.m. in Tulsa, Oklahoma and the surrounding area. I wasn't up watching, but thanks to TIVO I got to see it. Mom, Dad, and Amy were up in Rocky Mountain National Park and ran into an anchor woman from the news channel 8 in Tulsa. Dad was wearing his Oklahoma sweatshirt and she took notice of him and had to ask if he was from Oklahoma. Anyway, took their picture and put them on the news so his daughter and son-in-law could see them in Oklahoma. So fun. She called him "good 0le Barry." I love it!

Static Electricity

2008-09-04T13:45:00.003-05:00

Nothin' much to say. Just some fun hair!

(These were taken back in May.)

Backpack, Backpack

2008-08-29T13:44:00.007-05:00

Kreed has done alright in the mornings when we all load up and take the 5 kids to school. They all get their backpacks and head out to the car. Well, Kreed has started saying "backpack" when all of this is going on. I've had a small backpack that we keep in the car with emergency clothes and diapers, so I brought it in and now he can carry his backpack out with the rest of the kids. He did that this morning and was so proud of himself. He looked awfully cute in his pj's and backpack. (These pictures I took later on.)

And Then He Was a Beautiful Butterfly

2008-08-29T13:37:00.006-05:00

Kyle found a caterpillar about a week and a half ago and brought it in for the kids to see. Kaedyn had earned a bug box during the summer reading program and so we put the caterpillar in it along with some leaves. He ate and ate for about two days. And then suddenly hung himself from the lid. And within a couple of hours, turned into a chrysalis. Just over a week later, (yesterday), we had a beautiful butterfly fluttering about in our bug box. We took him outside to let him go. But he took his time and flapped his wings for a while. It was so neat to get to do that. I remember doing that as a kid but with a mason jar.

A Barrel O' Monkeys

2008-08-29T13:33:00.007-05:00

These pictures were from last month at camp. I just couldn't keep them all to myself. They had sooo much fun that day. What a way to cool off!

First Day of School

2008-08-20T13:34:00.018-05:00

Today was the first day of school. Kaedyn started 2nd grade and Kaybre started Kindergarten. Hard to believe my baby girls are so grown up. :(
Aunt Amy, notice the Croc Flops!

Happy Birthday Kaedyn!

2008-08-17T17:07:00.005-05:00

8 years old! Kaedyn celebrated her 8th birthday on August 12th. We had a full day of celebrating. First we went to Build-a-Bear. Some of our closest friends joined us: John, Tad, Skye, and Hunter. From there we went to Chuck E. Cheese. That evening when we got home, 4 little girls came over for a slumber party. Though tiring, it was a great day. Happy Birthday Kaedyn!

To Be Rapunzel or Not to Be Rapunzel

2008-08-16T15:09:00.009-05:00

Kaybre decided about two months ago that she wanted to cut her hair. I told her we would wait until school started. So today we went to get her hair cut. She looks so grown up.

So Proud

2008-08-13T11:59:00.005-05:00

Kreed got some new shoes. I tried to buy him some camo crocs. But he wouldn't have it. As soon as he spotted the cars there was nothing else to consider. I tried the camo crocs on first and he wouldn't even walk in them. And then he pointed out the car crocs. I put them on him and he pranced around the store. He was so proud of them. So I gave in and bought the boy what he wanted. He'll wear them anytime. He got out of the bath the other night and went straight for his shoes. He didn't even have a diaper on yet.

He also got a new shirt. We saw the movie Wall-E when it came out. He enjoyed it. And the girls have gotten him to say "Wall-E." He doesn't talk a whole lot yet but he clearly says "Wall-E." It's pretty cute. Well, we found him a shirt. And once again he is so proud. He points at it and squeals out "Wall-E."

Pierced Ears

2008-08-11T00:12:00.015-05:00

So Kaedyn has been thinking about piercing her ears for well over a year now. And she finally got up the courage to just do it. But she wanted to have her cousin Kelsie there with her. We were all in Holdenville this past weekend for a Gospel meeting that Kyle was preaching. So on Sunday afternoon all of the gals (Mom, Kaybre, cousin Kelsie, Aunt Kami, Grandma Wright and of course Kaedyn) and cousin Nolan went to Wal-Mart to witness the big event. No one knew what to expect as far as a reaction out of Kaedyn goes. But she came through with green jewels in her ears and not a tear to be seen nor a squeal to be heard. :) She did great! She was so brave. And they look sooooo cute!

Look How Sweet

2008-07-31T14:31:00.004-05:00

Here are some of my favorite pictures of the kids. These were taken back in early May by my good friend Holly. So sweet.
Kaedyn will be going into 2nd grade this next month. Kaybre will be in Kindergarten and Kreed and I will get to spend some good quality time together. Kindergarten is all day here. And so is pre-school. So Kaybre is already used to being at school all day. Both of the girls are very excited about going back to school. They have their backpacks out and packed with some of their school supplies. We still have a little bit of shopping to do which is all so exciting!

I'm Inspired!

2008-07-29T13:44:00.007-05:00

OK. So I've had this blog for a year or two. And have done absolutely nothing with it. I have some friends who keep up with theirs and I think "that would be fun." So here it goes. I'm going to give it a shot. And hopefully you all can keep up with us too.

Kaedyn is nearly 8. Kaybre 5. And Kreed will be 2 in October. Kyle and I have been married 12 years this past June and life is good. We live in Cushing, OK, which we love. The church is wonderful. Kyle preaches and I stay home (but not while he is preaching). --I do watch a little boy two days a week during the school year that is only a couple of months younger than Kreed. (His name starts with a K too.)

So thanks to Jessica, Stacy, and Holly, I now have a blog. -Thanks guys.- If anyone else out there has a blog that would help me keep up with you be sure to let me know!
