OKC, Etc.

A few weekends ago we decided to take a surprise trip up to OKC to see my brother/novaley's godfather Patrick. 
We didn't get there until pretty late because Joe had to teach Saturday school and it was a 6.5 hour drive, but we still made it there to see his last race of the night and go out to dinner afterwards. 

Here we are on our way there:

With her horse Dakota hahah

I changed her into this after we got to the track because it was so cold there...


After we surprised Patrick! By the paddock...

After we got back from dinner..which was like 12:30/1am by that point...

She's always trying to sit up now....

After he got back from work:

 Before we left...she's drooling constantly now, but no teeth yet. 

We had a great time, and it was nice to see my brother! He hadn't seen Novaley since the end of August, so I'm glad we had the chance to go and see him before he left for Hot Springs! 


Anyways...

She has been sitting on her own like this since a few days after she turned 4 months.


So one night we let her fall asleep in our bed because we were in there watching a show in there which we don't usually do...now she never wants to fall asleep in her pack-n-play. After she falls asleep I move her into her pnp, but she refuses to fall asleep in there anymore....not cool. Hopefully after we get her crib she'll get back to her routine of falling asleep in her OWN bed. Luckily she's still sleeping 8-9 hours from whenever she decides to go to sleep lol.

The other day we got her custom shopping cart cover! I love it! It's done in all minky fabric so its super soft. It also has a pocket, pillow, and toy hooks! Just what every kid needs right. 



Yesterday before church....


Here she is today...she rolled herself onto her stomach while I was in the other room cleaning.

We'll be leaving for MN soon for a while...we will also be visiting Chicago for closing weekend at Hawthorne. Hope to see everyone while we're back!

And...I hope everyone got their Christmas card...if not, here's what it looked like haha!


Also, here are some pictures we didn't end up using for the card...enjoy!
