Suprise Visit to the USA!!

I was truly blessed at the beginning of this month to make a quick trip to Oklahoma!  My brother, Ryan, and I were given the opportunity to travel home and help my mom celebrate her 60th birthday.  We had a wonderful time seeing people and catching up with so many loved ones.  It was truly amazing to be in Oklahoma again, but sad to not share it with Rob and the kids.

Here are Ryan and I leaving our city, you can see the characters of our city between our heads, can you read it?

 Here we are....almost to TX!!! We documented every leg of our trip...we are a little awkward.

 Hooray for seeing Dad!!! He faithfully picked his wayward children up from DFW airport and brought us back up I-35 for a familiar passage back into OKLAHOMA!!  By the way, Ryan did take a picture of the OK sign as we entered....but he is yet to send it to me.   I was sad Rob wasn't with me, so I called him and was talking with him so we could enter OK together.....kind of.

 Suprising my mom!!! And she was suprised, never expecting us to come from Asia to her birthday party.

 My family....those who were present.  Back row: me, Ryan.  Front Row: Grandma Veta, Mom, Reagan, Heather. 2 cute kids: Reese and Ty

 My other family....more were present, just not in the picture (Rikki and Tom).  Bob and Donna Olmstead, me, 4 cute nieces: Ashley, Abigail, Ainsley, and Audrey.

 Me and my Grandma.  Yea for seeing and spending a short time with her!!  (and Ty hangin' out with his great-grandma)

 The birthday girl and her cake

 I don't think I have ever participated in a family event where I didn't sing. So, in keeping with traditions, the Wagoner kids sang/played the guitar together.  I will tell you that Reagan and I started out sharing a microphone but that didn't last long.  Let's just say we don't share well.....and he was breathing Chili's salsa breath on me. Brothers......

We are really looking forward to our time home the second half of this year and know we will love seeing and spending lots of time catching up with so many friends and loved ones. I am so thankful for the time I got to spend at home, but really missed Rob, Hannah, and Hudson!!
