Catching Up

I have found myself in that place again....where I have so many blogs written in my mind and no time to write them. So with that said I will give you a small update and highlights from our week. Also I want to say "hi" to Joseph and Sarah Beth and say "thanks" for thinking of the O Fam!!

1. First I would like to show one of my new favorite pics. While on vacation we ran into some great Oklahoma friends who we have known for a long time....the kind of friends who you can hang out with and talk with until late in the night. They were one of the highlights of our trip. So with that said here is a pic of our cute kids together, minus hudson who had been throwing up all day, so he had to be kept separate. And, I really think Hannah should be the same size as the other 2, not looking so old. (thanks aunt heather for the cute shirt)

2. If only you could have seen me fall down and go sliding across the garage parking lot of the mall..... It was a big WIPE OUT!! You see, the parking garage in the mall has a very smooth surface, and as I tried to avoid the speed bump, I turned and my bike went out from under me. I fell over and my bike and I went sprawling. I wasn't hurt, only scraped a little and VERY dirty. My bike, after a little adjusting, was no worse for the wear. Thankfully, there was nice man coming the other way who witnessed my accident. He kindly stopped, helped me get my bike up right, and made sure I was ok. I am sure that was quite a sight, large white woman skidding across parking lot.

3. Last week I got a call from Hudson's school. He was running at recess, tripped, and fell into some bushes and a fence and cut open his head right on the eyebrow. The teacher said, if we were in America I would probably say you needed to get a stitch or two, but here they do 1 or 2 stitches where there should be 4 or 5. Rob had a butterfly bandage he was carrying with him (you never know when it will be needed with hudson around). While he was there he decided to super glue his head together. He had an unopened tube, cleaned the wound, pinched the skin together, and glued. Hudson lost a few eyebrow hairs, but his cut looks good and I don't think the scarring will be bad at all. Way to go honey!!

4. Valentines Day. I have the best husband and kids and I love them so so much. It is our tradition for me to make my family a SPECIAL meal for V-Day. When we were in OK, I would use the best plates, silverware, tablecloths, etc for the event and make everyone's favorite dishes. So, this year was no different. My family's new favorite meal (I say new becasue I NEVER made this in OK) is chicken fried steak. Since it is extrememly unhealthy, this is only the 2nd time I have made it. Everyone was pleased to have this along with mashed potatoes and veggies. To top it off Rob made some biscuits that were heart shaped. I told you he is a GREAT guy. Here is a pic of our decorated table all ready to be eaten on. Please note the BEAUTIFUL red, pink, and white roses Rob gave me. And here is a pic of the heart biscuits and the chef!5. Last week my love for technology came into full bloom. As I sat in my living room on this side of the world, my brother and sis sat in their living room in Nashville, my other brother was in Moore, and my mom in Edmond....and together we raced each other playing Mario Kart on the wii. Now that really really blows my little mind. However, it was so fun. When I saw my family's miis pop up on my TV it was so exciting. What makes it even better is that our wii was bought here and uses the japanese operating system, no english. It was quite a feat but thanks to skypeing with Ryan and him showing me the English on his screen, we figured it all out. Please keep in mind that my family is very competitive, so this begins a whole new world for the Wagoner family. Let the gaming continue!! It's a small world after all! Here is Hudson sporting his Valentine present from his nana. He is the most excited to play his uncles in Mario Kart.

That is all I can think of to tell you about for now, hope you feel caught up!
