We love Pops!

This has to be one of the coolest attractions close to Edmond.....Pops! It's a glorified gas station/restaurant, but the best part is all of the bottles of pop they have to choose from!

I'll let the pictures talk for themselves....no real explanation needed! We had a great evening there, and got some yummy cokes to drink!

Where do I start?

Well, I've had some people wondering about me....figured I better blog soon! I had a weird day a couple weeks ago, where I hadn't been feeling well, went to the pool, and fainted!! I hit my head on the ground, got a nice cut on my eyebrow, but I promise, I'm fine! I've been really busy lately, too, I know....not a good excuse to not blog! But, something had to be put on hold, and unfortunately, it was the 'Fowler Five'. BUT--I'm back!
I took this first pic to show how TALL my sunflowers are this year! We didnt' have to replant them, either. That's always nice!
Last week was rainy--and we took advantage of the free water and warm temps outside to have some fun!

We also got to go to Pelican Bay waterpark here in Edmond one day. It was so much fun! This is Jodee trying her climbing skills on the rock wall:


Dustin hangin' with the big boys (ie. Jeremy, Brian, and Taylor)

Having fun with Daddy!

Trust me...this is just a start of what we've been doing! I'm really not ready for summer to be over! I can't believe the kids go back to school in about 2 weeks.....NOT looking forward to that! But, they'll have fun. I just can't believe that all 3 of my kids will be gone ALL day!! What in the world?

'Full Service' Tour

I had a GREAT time at another New Kids concert Friday night in Dallas!! They put on an awesome show...it was SO much fun!
This time it was at an outdoor venue, and thankfully, we couldn't have asked for better weather. The Jabbawockeez (I really don't know how to spell their name!) were the opener again, and they were still fun to watch!
Here are the Jabbawockeez:
Angie and me (thanks for going again, Ang!!)

Yes, this is hot:

And this:

Here is their 'Full Service' song...

'My Favorite Girl':

WHAT A GREAT TIME!! I had a blast--so glad to have a wonderful friend to enjoy it with me! Thanks, Josh, for putting up with my obsession...(and, I think it's funny the kids think you look like DW!!)

Heeeeeeeere's RUDY!!!

It's a funny little story, how we got a new puppy, but THANK YOU to a friend from college, and to my sister-in-law for making it happen!!!

Our new puppy is Rudy, he's a mix of Beagle and Yorkie/Pomeranian. He weighs less than 2 lbs., and is precious!
Size comparison to Miley: (yes, she's winking for the camera!)

On the drive home: his favorite place!

See what I mean?

We are having SO much fun with him! He's so much easier than Miley....and I am realizing just how much I missed having a small dog around the house!!

Fowler reunion

We had such a fun weekend in Austin! The annual Fowler Family Reunion was hosted by Josh's parents, and they did a GREAT job! I will let the pictures talk for themselves...
Dustin and Quentin swimmin' in Mimi's pool:

Dylan and Cason--great buddies!
Coby and Jodee.....sweet story about these 2: We were headed home, and Summer (Coby's momma and my sister-in-law) texted me to tell me that Coby asked if he could marry his cousin, and was so sad when she told him no! So cute....I'm sure they will get a laugh out of this when they're older.

I absolutely LOVE this picture of Pop pop and KK with 3 of their great grandkids! The great slip-n-slide!! (Just ask Casey!!)

Dylan posing to look like he's jumping in....so funny! He is here with his 3rd? cousin, Brock. He kept asking me, "What's my friends' name again?" and I would tell him, "Brock". He would say it over and over, but still ended up calling him 'Brick'.

Best friends: Samantha and Jodee!

Unfortunately, I don't have pics of ALL the cousins, but we love you all!! Had a great weekend!

4th of July

We started our day off with the Edmond parade....it was fun! Here we are with our friends, Molly and Sarah.

Dustin wasn't feeling well, so he left the parade early. Josh was happy to leave with him!!

Here are our cupcakes for the day: And, our flag shirts (thanks Aunt Karen!)

We had a great day hanging out with my family! The weather was awesome (even the rain!!), and we couldn't have had a better day.

Back up for a moment...

I missed a lot of different things in the past 2 weeks....Father's Day, our 12th anniversary, VBS, and my Grandma K visiting from California. I won't completely recap everything, but here's a few pics of the fun.

VBS '09 Joshua! Yes, my husband had to get a shirt because it has his name on it!!!

Father's Day! We had a fun day of eating out with my dad and Grandma K, hangin' around the house, and watching DCI (drum corps) practice. Very cool! Since Josh has no job right now, we are not spending any extra money, so poor guy--he didn't get a 'real' gift this year. We'll make up for it later on!

Here are the kids with Grandpa: (love Dylan's smile!)

Jodee and Great Grandma K: (what kind of face is Jo making?)

Father's Day was also our 12th anniversary!! We have had a WONDERFUL 12 years!
