What's Happening?

While in Oklahoma...

Wrestling with the Payne boys. I think the littlest Payne was out for blood - Jase's blood!




We took in an OKC Redhawks game. Man, was it hot that night!





The boys have been riding their yet-to-be-named horse. I am convinced if we lived here they would be riding solo in no time.




We've also been to church, the boys have spent time with Aunt Kaylee and Uncle Chase, and we've been chowing down at our fave restaurants. This mom is in much need for a trip to the gym. Where is that personal trainer's phone number??

Our month long trip is winding down. We'll be squeezing in visits with family and friends before heading back to NY. We'll be reunited with Jason, Jase will start back to school (hallelujah!), and Cole may enter into the world of daycare (stay tuned for that episode). As much as we are sad to leave Oklahoma, we are excited to get back to NY.

Now back to that ball and chain I have attached to me for the next 5 months...Univesity of Phoenix.

Long Time, No Blog

We've been a busy little family. Sigh.

Since I last blogged we've been to Sesame Place, the Jersey Shore, had lots of family visit, and now we are a family separated. Sigh. The husband and dad, otherwise known as the Coastie of the family, is off doing his part in something that duty has called him to do. Sigh. Attempt to insert happy face here.

The boys and I are spending time in Oklahoma. So I blog to you from the heat stricken state of Oklahoma. 105+ degree temperatures are enough to make a person long for a New York winter. Ha! Not me. I'm enjoying sweating like fat man because before too long I'll be bundled up like an Eskimo.

Of course I wouldn't be home without dealing with allergies. I'm pumping allergy meds into my body everyday but still somehow manage to sneeze my head off. Thankfully though, I have not yet emptied an entire box of tissues.

The boys have become little fish here. I cannot keep them out of the water. They want to swim everyday. Oh, Cole has NO FEAR of the water. I have tiny little heart attacks every time he throws himself off the deck into the pool.

I'll post pics of our summer adventures soon. Just because I'm on vacation does not mean I'm on vacation...I still have University of Phoenix hanging over my head. Sigh.

Until next time.
