Jason C. Carney, Esq.

Yesterday we went to Oklahoma City for Jason's swearing in...It was the last step to the long road that is Law School. I must say that the pressure and stress that Jason no longer has is a breath of fresh air! We are enjoying the evening and weekends that we have with him so much.
It was one of those days that after Jason requesting to be referred to as Esquire all day, Jack playing hide and go seek in the Supreme Court and Nolan wandering off into the restricted halls of the State Capital I wouldn't have traded this day in for anything in the world...I'm so proud.

Are you ready for some footbaaaalllll!

We are embarking upon the most important time of the year folks....football season. 5 years ago if someone would have asked me the importance of this time I would have said, "all the fall premiere shows!" (not that I'm not excited about those too..) but after being married to my fanatic of a husband I know better. When we were debating on moving away or staying in tulsa one of the top pro's on our pro's and con's list was TU football. he. is. obsessed. and the thing is...he is dragging me down with him. I am already awaiting sneaking all the tailgating food and walking to QT during halftime. For the next few months...you know where we will be on a Sat. afternoon.

Love ya Dad...

I actually stole this post from my sister Crystals blog...She wrote it better than I would ever be able to...and I would probably be crying all the while..so here is to my dad...the coolest most loving dad ever! Don't ever scare me like that again!


"This is my dad. Of course he is the best dad ever, because he is my dad. My dad is basically the toughest guy around. Last night, he survived quite the accident. He climbed out of he passenger side of a burning and exploding Highlander with only some singed hair and a scratch or two. It was no minor miracle. The other man involved was not nearly so lucky...at all. In the hours of sleep I missed last night after hearing the bittersweet news, I thought of how different my world would be without this man. I know that even if death phased him, he would still be my daddy for eternity. Still though... I can't imagine how difficult life would be with out him. I'm so glad God saw fit to keep him here on the earth a little longer. He's such a strength and a true friend to everyone, especially his children. He is all of ours (his 6 kids) #1 fan. Ask any of us. From this, I've found it's time to start appreciating the physical presence of my family in my life. I hope to take advantage of the time we have with one another... the reality that it could dissappear any day has suddenly become more of a reality. I'm inexpressibly grateful for the preservation of my daddy's life."

More Photoshop...

I'm such an amateur at this, I've totally taught myself and I'm sure to a professional eye these are very far from perfect...but it's just so much fun! These are some pictures of my friends Kressyda and Cameron's beautiful baby Olive and sweet boy Eliot...They are moving to Texas next week. I can't describe how sad I am that they are leaving and I quite honestly can't talk about it or I start to cry ( like go crawl into bed and have a pity party cry) I'm so happy that Kress and I were able to be law school widows together....I couldn't have asked for a better friend to talk away the days with. Love you guys!
p.s. now that I look at them some more I have a bunch of stuff I need to fix still...

photoshop fun..

Survived....

Hey guys...We are still alive...We survived the month of July and are excited to get back on schedule again. Jason just took the bar last week (barely surviving) and we are SO happy to have him back from seclusion! It has been really nice to have an extra set of hands to help out...
Here are just a few picts taken over the last couple weeks..I haven't been very good at taking picts lately...I promise I'll get back on the blogging-train!

We had a blast in California! We spent some time at the pool and we able to go to Fort Bragg with a bunch of family. It was so much fun and I'm so glad that Jack and Nolan were able to spend some quality time with cousins, Aunt and Uncles and Grandparents...
