Our Weekend

For the past several months, it seems that most of our weekends, with the exception of a few, have been busy. Jax actually qualified to wrestle in the state tournament in OKC, but after really talking with him, we realized he was much more interested in staying in a hotel and swimming rather than actually competing. Rick had already promised to take the kids to the bedlam wrestling dual on Sunday, so we decided to make Stillwater a little weekend family getaway and skip OKC.

Friday night, Rick and I managed to carve out time for date night and then on Saturday, we headed to Stillwater for the night. The kids were thrilled to swim and then we spent our evening watching a movie. It was nice to just relax. Sunday, we took the kids to Joe's and introduced them to the OSU campus before heading to the wrestling event. I'm not exactly a fan of this sport, so I got my entertainment from watching the kids, as this was their first college sporting event. Jax kept saying, OSU is everywhere! He watched the tournament with great intent. I was a little shocked. Delaney was excited to spot Pistol Pete and they even had the opportunity to shake his hand. They followed along waving the wheat, and shooting off their pistols.
The kids were all grins and shrieking with laughter and joy as they played with Rick in the water. This is certainly not the best picture. No one was really interested in having their picture taken, and I only had my camera phone.

The house wasn't cleaned,papers weren't graded, and I generally felt a bit unprepared for the week ahead but it was well worth it.
