Flyin’ sideways. Little Man is quite the Daredevil. I love to push him as high and fast as possible when I hang out with him. Live dangerously is the only way to go around him. I can only bet that those Daredevilish tendencies will become more present with age.
I accomplished so much in 2009. It’s crazy at how many trips I took and the places I got to see. So, to recap at the events that took place in 2009….here’s the rundown.
The Backyard slowly turned into something fantastic.
I graffitied someone’s yard.
I found a love for Framboise
I bought a Netbook with Ubuntu Linux (and named him Gizmo)
Norman was hit by a Tornado
I met Kevin Costner. He’s dreamy.
I danced as an ALUM in the Tecumseh Dance Recital (don’t even get me started on being an alum, I realize I’m old)
Ate at Grey’s Papaya in NYC
The Boys met Papaw & Delilah
Roomie & I drove to Florida all by ourselves (actually she drove). It was the best vacation I’ve taken in awhile.
Re-did my Bathroom & Bedroom.
Mom, Dad & I visited New York City for 2 weeks. It was probably the highlight to my year….well the first 3.5 days were.
Attended my first Yankee’s Game.
Drank Pina Coladas with my feet in the sand.
Caught the Subway.
Met Ree Drummond.
NB was finally out of the picture.
Went Parasailing.
Saw my first Oklahoma Blizzard…14.1 inches of snow dumped in Norman on 12/24…amazing.
Walked through Central Park with Mom & Dad.
Baby Brother Graduated!
Flew in a Private Jet with Mom & Dad.
Set foot on Staten Island.
Made some amazing friends.
Bought my Sony Vaio – it’s awesome – her name is Petunia.
Drove to Minnesota with Mom & Dad.
Celebrated turning 25 with the best friends a girl could have.
There is soooo much more I did & things I saw that I honestly can’t think of them right now. 2009 was a great year and I can’t wait to see what 2010 has in store for me. Hopefully the years will only get better from here…even if I do stay 25 for forever.
My darling cousin Whitney is quite ornery. She’s into something all the time & loves dogs. I mean seriously, dog kisses on the LIPS….only something Whitney would do!
Over the weekend I asked Drew a few dozen questions. Keep in mind he’s 5 & still thinks girls have cooties. I can’t wait to see him grow out of the stage is 7-10 years. He’s quite the character & goofball.
I flip flopped back & forth between the 2 pools at our condo and of course, the beach. For a solid week I worked on my tan, listened to my ipod, and read a few books. Not to mention I did hit up the Outlet Mall a few times too. It was a great vacation and I’m glad I got to spend it with my cousins & the Roomie.
About to show us all what she can do. It was a week spent perfecting the front flip in the water. I had to show off exactly what her daring cousin could do, which was a perfect back flip as well as a front flip. After I did that, I was the coolest cousin alive.
There she goes. She’s funny to watch because of how she plugs her nose. Which just so happens to be something her mother does as well. She loves the water and nose plugs. Yes, I said nose plugs. Another mother/daughter thing.
The pool at the other side of our condos. It was a much deeper pool and I hung out here too, catching all the rays I could. It was phenomenal having two pools to hang out in and just float and float all day. I loved not having to worry about a shark coming up from the depths of the pool and biting a chunk out of my raft. That I truly enjoyed not worrying about.
The pool right outside our condo. I could’ve jumped from our balcony and landed in the pool, that’s what I mean by it was just outside our room. Then again, we were on the 3rd floor and I wasn’t going to risk my life for a little fun, so I kept my jumping feelings at bay and stayed on the balcony.
One night after dinner, Roomie & I made all the kids ice cream sundaes, actually Roomie did. I was off galavanting at the pool or the beach. I’m telling ya’ll that’s all I did my entire trip, I was either at the pool or the beach the entire time. All of the kids enjoyed the topping selection and ice cream too. Just check out their faces. We took them swimming in the pool after this just to “wash” them off. The Ice Cream Sundae fun was a great success, I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves and the dip afterwards was an even bigger success.
Little Miss hates ice cream toppings. Really, what kid hates ice cream toppings? I guess plain is just as good as anything though. I mean I like plain ice cream every now and then just to mix things up every now and then.
