Weekend in McAlester

Hello friends and family! I am slightly back in business on the blog scene. Woohoo! We sold Daniel's truck a couple of weeks ago and finally bought an iPad. Every Penturf in this house is obsessed!

This past weekend we met my sister and kids at my dad and stepmom's house. As always, the kids were beyond excited to see each other and Papa Charlie and Hunny. (Quick funny...couple weeks ago my dad calls and I tell SJ to say hi to Papa Charlie. She says, "hi, Charlie Brown," Ha!) on Saturday we visited my great-grandmother to celebrate her 102nd birthday. All I can say is, WOW! She was dressed up so cute and fancy. She is still sharp as a tack which amazes me. She knows exactly who I am and still asked about my girls (before they made their way over to see her). She impresses me!

That evening, my stepbrother and his family came over for a cookout. We had gorgeous weather and I loved sitting outside all night visiting and snuggling their new baby, Ryder. Thank you Papa Charlie and Hunny for a fabulous weekend. Love you!

Week in review...

Tutored. A lot.
Snow. But not enough.
OKC trip, great view from hotel and saw TJ.
Kept the Zumwalts!

For Salle and Aunt Susie!

Still no computer so it's hard to get a good post up! However, I will check in for a few minutes. Hmm, what's new? Well, we officially listed our house with a realtor. Will you join us in praying for a quick smooth sale? Thanks!
Also, I turned another year older...I'm "in to" my 30s now. I'm old. but, Theo's gave me free dessert and some friends gave me a sweet GNO!
We are still trying to sell Daniel's truck...somebody please buy it!
I've been tutoring about 5 nights a week. I enjoy being able to stay in education in a different manner and make some extra cash while doing it. However, it's kept my evenings super busy. Thankfully, my wonderful husband is okay with taking over the girls as soon as I'm gone. Thanks D!
We all got sick last week. I had my first experience with toddler puke. Yuck. I also threw up so hard I guess I burst a blood vessel in my eye??
Oh, and lastly, I finished SJ's new dresser. This dresser is from Daniel's dad, Jim. It belonged to one of his parents and when they moved last March I asked if I could have it. He was gracious enough to give it to me and I'm excited to have the finished product with the history behind it!
Not much else is going on except a fun OKC Thunder game in the near future. Can. Not. Wait!!!

Our Christmas in Pictures!

Thanks to Daniel for bringing home his work computer so I could do a little blogging! Sadly, I have no pictures from Christmas in McAlester.  :(

Muskogee Christmas

Daniel and my mom with the girls.

 

All of my cousins' kiddos minus a couple.

 My mom and her sisters!

 This one makes me smile!

 The dudes!

 My sister and two of my cousins!

 Bixby Christmas

I tried to get them to look at me and the only thing that worked was asking where their teeth were!  Ha! Come on Keeli, you're behind!

 Aww!

 Penturf Christmas in Bella Vista!

Lily, Eva, Caroline and Sarah

(the only picture I have of all four of them looking)

 We tried for a PJ pic but...toddlers will be toddlers!

We are still here...

...but my computer has crapped out on me and I can't put any Christmas pictures on the blog! We aren't rushing out to buy a computer yet so those pics may have to wait a while. Darn! Until then, here are some pictures of my favorite people in the world!

Gettin' a Little Crafty

So I've been trying to be a better mommy while the girls and I have days that we are home all morning. One thing I have been so reluctant to do with them is crafts. I hate crafts. They're messy. They're time consuming (the setup and cleanup parts). And, I am so not creative. I'm not a crafty momma. Anyway, I've decided to try to die to my own selfish wants/needs/desires/_____ fill in the blank. Yesterday we tried painting. Yeah, I hated it. But we painted for 30 minutes, that's a long craft, right? One child was really into it and the other was hungry. I'll let you decide who was who by the pics! I promise to continue doing crafts, but I don't promise to enjoy it. 😄

Just for you Aunt Su Su

Aunt Susie, this video is for you!  She was sitting on my lap and I told her who we were going to see on Saturday.  When I said we would see Aunt Su Su, Sarah replied, "Su Su, cute!"  I tried to get her to say it again on video but couldn't.  Either way, she gives you a kiss and then shows you her little Minnie.  :)  Love you Aunt Susie!
