Rain

Caleb is finally walking. It is not all that coordinated but it is fun to see him explore new territory and face new challenges. He and Foster are become more like friends. The other day they were rolling around the floor almost like they were wrestling. Both boys were laughing and having so much fun. I know this is only the beginning, but I am so enjoying seeing them love each other. It is so great to have Jason home and be a complete family again. There really isn't much greater of a sound than hearing your boys laugh uncontrollably as their Dad throws them on the bed. I love it!!!
I have still been overwhelmed by some of the things my friends have been going through lately. I have been wrestling with this over the past couple of weeks. It is so hard to understand why so many bad things happen to people. It is hard for me to handle the feeling of not knowing what to do to help. Several months ago, Jason and I watched a video that shed a lot of light on pain. I found it on-line and wanted to share it with you. It is about 10 minutes. Watch it when you have time...I hope the message grips you the way that it gripped me.

Top Ten Things I Really Really Dislike:
1. Cottage Cheese
2. When people judge other people just because they are different.
3. Dead Batteries in Portable Phones.
4. Speed Traps - especially on Sheridan between 71st and 81st and also on 61st between Sheridan and Memorial. Surely there are more important things than to sit and bust people going a few tiny miles per hour over the speed limit. I only have personal experience at one of these locations :)
5. When people are just plain rude.
6. Short shirts and low cut jeans. Some look too good in it. Others look like a "busted biscuit can" in it. Either way, seriously, cover up!
7. Kids getting picked on. You all just may as well start praying now for my boys. I don't know if I will be able to handle it if they get picked on in school or worse...if I find out they are the ones picking on others.
8. Rules that are unfair or when people bend the rules to win.
9. Having to work every weekend when I would rather just play and be with my family. I really do have a great job but that is a bummer about it.
10 The third octave of Caleb's scream. The first octave is fine...it just means that he is upset because he is hungry or tired. The second octave is when he is hurt and needs some love. The third and dreaded octave is when he wants his @$#@# way, right $@#@ now. This is when he needs a time out.

Here are some pictures for your enjoyment from the Tulsa State Fair this year. We went with our friends Heather and Ashton. It was exhausting, but we had a blast.

Love to all.

Until next time, Becca
