Merry Christmas!

Look at those puffy eyes...they were tired but happy!

About as close as Nolan would get to Santa..

The Carney Family had such a wonderful Christmas this year. We spent quality time together as a family and even more time with extended family. Jack and Nolan couldn't have been more excited for the Holidays this year. Seeing that excitement in their eyes makes everything so worth it!

Nolan the human tunnel...

Wishing everyone well this Holiday Season!

Getting our groove back...

We made it. We survived the month of November which included lots of last minute photo shoots, saying goodbye to some of the best friends ever, packing up our place, the 3 day trek out to California with a moving truck, unpacking at our new place, oh yeah, and Thanksgiving. I think we are all starting to get back into the groove of things now. We all love being close to family (especially the boys...they get lots of attention) The boys are enjoying having a backyard and just more room to run. I'm having fun getting my house together and organizing/decorating. Jason is keeping pretty busy with work and getting to know the area while traveling. It's been so beautiful here so I thought we would go to the park and play/take pictures....I love hanging out with my boys and watching them grow everyday...I really am a pretty lucky girl.

Here we go...

These pictures have nothing to do with this post...I just liked them:)

I am in denial no longer...We are moving. My house is full of half-packed boxes and a moving truck is scheduled. In just a few days we are making the 3 day (yeah, that's right) trip to California. We are so excited to be closer to family and move back out west. Still,we are sad to leave Oklahoma. We have enjoyed our time here more than we could have ever imagined. I remember driving into Tulsa for the first time and being pleasantly surprised, it wasn't a dust bowl at all! We have been pleasantly surprised over and over again by the great things that Tulsa has to offer. The friends we have made here are AMAZING and will be cherished so much. Ugh, I'm getting sappy. So, thanks Oklahoma for being our families first real home....and, get ready California...here comes the Carney Family!

It's that time of year again..

I'm so glad that we were able to spend one last fall season in Tulsa. It is breathtakingly beautiful out here with the fall colors and crisp autumn air. We love the pumpkin patch and it didn't disappoint this year...well besides the mud and wind, but we still had fun!

FL vacay...

These are just 5 out of the millions of pictures I took. I figured before I got too far behind I would just post a couple pictures. We had a great time spending time together as a family. I'm always pleasantly surprised after family trips at how well they turn out. The boys did great and we literally spent all day at the beach every chance we could get. It was relaxing and refreshing. I know this sounds lame but I am having so much fun with my little family right now. My boys are a blast to play with, they are so much fun and pretty independent. It's nice not to have to carry around a diaper bag or car seat:) They give me a run for my money but I love them so much and love experiencing life and there new findings everyday. I'm feeling pretty lucky right now.

the calm before the storm...

Going here for the next week for some family fun and relaxation! When we get back it will be three weeks of chaos before we make the big move back out to CALIFORNIA! whoo hoo!

Like Father, like Son..

What we have been up to lately...

Jack started Pre-K! yay! (check out Nolan..too lazy to crop him out)

Collecting Boxes...more to come on this.

Wrestling in underwear (a daily occurrence)

Thinking we are pretty funny huh?

Taking LOTS of pictures! mostly of other people...

Rocking out in the car.

Sonic drinks (another daily occurrence)

McDonalds (fortunately not a daily occurrence!)

Enjoying this awesome weather!

Pretty random post huh?

These boys..

just melt my heart...

6 years....

6 years ago today..

I was surrounded by my closest family and friends
I couldn't stop smiling
I had butterflies all day
I felt like a princess
I was excited for my future
I was madly in love
I married my best friend.
Looking back on that day I didn't think I could be any happier, or love any deeper. Jason has proved me wrong by making it possible for me to love him even more and giving me my amazing boys to gain a whole new level of love for. Thanks for an incredible 6 years babe.

Summer part 2

We were able to spend a few days in California before heading to Oregon. We spent those days doing perfect summer activities...swimming, fishing, grilling, wiffleball(sp?) and more swimming. Just what we needed...

Summer time...part 1

Waiting for the 4th of July parade!






This is one of our favorite spots ever. We always come up to this look out while we are here. It's truly breathtaking!



I went on a nice little hiatus from the blogging world. Now that we are getting back to a routine I figured I'd get back in a blogging routine too. We have had a blast this summer, it went by so fast! I'm going to start with documenting our trip to California and Oregon. Oregon was so much fun. We had beautiful weather and spent most of our time outside playing in the sand. Jack loved making sand castles and digging. Nolan not so much...but he got used to it eventually. We spent 4th of July on the beach. It was packed and fun to see all the fireworks. The trip was very relaxing and much needed. It was fun to see Grandma DD and all the cousins.
