just one day behind...

i couldn't blog yesterday because i was in edmond getting spencer.  his time in exile was up, so i drove over there yesterday afternoon to fetch him.  before leaving for edmond, colby and i spent the day playing at gina's house!

colby and brett watched toy story while gina and i made a quick trip to river city trading post. {ok, so it wasn't quick!}  but it was a successful trip!  i found an old chalkboard with a red, wooden chalk tray, a wahoo board, and an old box of chalk.  the most awesome, super-duper, incredible treasure of the day was discovered by gina.........sock monkey socks with instructions!!!!!  6 pairs of socks for only $5!!!  so we split the pack, and one day soon we will be making sock monkeys!  i'm so excited!

as if finding those socks wasn't enough, my day was topped off with a visit to a delicious frozen yogurt place in edmond called orange tree.  the whole place is serve yourself.  you get a bowl and then choose from 10 or 12 different types of frozen yogurt.  

you can get as much or as little as you like.  {i got vanilla, peanut butter and cookies & cream!}  then  you move down the line to not one, but 2 topping bars!!!  the first one is all kinds of fruits and nuts, plus some gummie stuff.  the second one has all kinds of candy, cookies and brownies.

{i topped my yogurt off with reese's peanut butter cups, brownie chunks and oreos crumbles.} it was so yummy......i'm glad grandma and i decided to split a burger for supper, or i wouldn't have had room for all the delicious yogurt!

today spencer and i made a mad dash down to the other side of okc to go to this antique mall that had a billboard advertisement out on the turnpike.  i've noticed this sign before and wondered what it was like.  so today i found out.  it wasn't easy to find since i don't know my way around that area, and when we got there, i was extremely disappointed.  95% of the stuff was locked in glass cases, so what does that tell you?  expensive!!!

then we rushed back to edmond to meet mom and dad for a father's day lunch at charleston's. it was nice to hang out with them even if it was just for a little bit!

after that.......pool time at aunt carla's!  everyone was gone except for her youngest son {who was hanging out with grandma}, but carla said we could swim anyway.  so grandma, the 3 boys and i hung out at the pool for a couple of hours.  i absolutely love their pool!  i think we need one like that in OUR backyard!

spencer and ryan thought it would be fun to get in the hot tub, turn on the jets and inflate themselves!  spencer reminded me of violet on charlie and the chocolate factory!  she is the one who chewed the piece of gum that wasn't fully tested yet, and she turned into a blueberry!

now we're all home again.  the boys are watching hotel for dogs while daryl is watching tv in our room.  i'm glad we're all here.
