Free printable @my Design Studio today!! Sooner fans only please :)

I am soooooo excited about football season!! We are HUGE fans in the Orr household--looking forward to tailgating @ the Sooner Club this season with my in-laws AND my mom and aunt for every game! We are one big Sooner Born and Sooner Bred happy family :)  Here are some photos from last year:

GAMBLE LYNN ORR

Introducing....Miss Gamble Lynn! We are insane.  I cannot believe we got a puppy!! Dillon came home yesterday from working at the rent house and said, "Babe, how far is Altus?" Um...I was a little skeptical about this sketchy 2hour drive to Altus and what was so dang important that he had to go to ALTUS, OKLAHOMA of all places!

I got this picture while he was there:

"Dillon's 2 picks" was the title of the email.....

I told him to pick which one he thought would be the best....he got the lazy one :)  She just lays around all the time...it's WONDERFUL!  So far she is soooo good with Kenwood and so laid back! Hopefully Owen can teach her the ropes on how to be "the perfect dog"

 INTRODUCING....GAMBLE LYNN ORR

Owen is already a great big brother

She loves to snuggle with Kenwood...and he loves her too!

SERIOUSLY? SERIOUSLY.

SERIOUSLY?! Where has the time gone?!  I have been pleasantly surprised by the number of people who have come up to me reprimanding my blogging hiatus.  Last night at a baby shower for one of my dearest friends {Meggie & Clay Nelson} I was reminded, yet again, that someone had "a bone to pick with me" about SinkOrrSwim...thank you Kate Ivey for giving me a little push!  I am going to be so very mad at myself that I haven't posted updates on how my sweet kiddos are growing up and changing before my very eyes!!  Olivia is now 6 1/2 months old {fun facts: eating stage 2 foods, sleeping like a champ, & army crawling EVERYWHERE}, Kenwood is 2 1/2 {fun facts: every bit of the terrible twos most of the time, his favorite movie right now is "Wizards" aka Wizard of OZ}--I love them both soooo much! Those little rascals!! We spent ALOT of time with family this summer, here is a little photo re-cap!

 Lazy summer day inside--it's WAY TOO HOT!

I cannot wait to blow this up when they are in high school and blackmail them....

hahahahaha such a gay picture, but they sure are cute!

Miss Livi Kate is getting very curious these days--Owen is EXTREMELY protective of this little girl!

Miss Smiles....ALL.THE.TIME....happiest baby award!

MY SWEETEST BLESSINGS: this pretty much sums them up--Woody is all up in her biz about 99% of the time...and she thinks he's SOOO cool :)

Thanks be to God!

I wish I could blog about all the things I was thankful for more often than around the holiday season and sporadically throughout the year.  But, I know you all don't really want to hear it over and over again. However I am going to do it now...it is Thanksgiving Eve after all!!  Dillon and  I sat down the other night on a "date night" not knowing where to eat on our night off and finally settling at a Chinese Buffet....yes, you read that right.  No, it was not that good.  Yes, we regretted our decision immediately when we walked in the door.  Yes, we still ate like pigs....a pregnant pig for me :)  Anyway, we sat there stuffing our faces and lovingly gazing into eachother's eyes (Ok...not mushy like that we are not that cheesy) and talking about if we had the chance to go back in time what would we change. Dillon's answer was proudly "That you and Will Francis would have decided to go to the Tri-Delt formal instead of the SAE/PiKap Swamp Party" (This was obviously a sarcastic remark because Dillon and I met at this so-called Swamp Party and had it not been for me taking an SAE to my date party, we would have never decided to ditch the formal and go to the much more casual, much more swampy, and much more fun party...that I would inevitably meet my future husband at).

Anyways, beside the point of the multi-story telling...we both sat there in awe of the fact that our lives had turned out to be far more than we could have ever imagined.  I have a husband that I could only dream of--that makes me laugh, takes care of me, teases me, loves me, worries about me, a husband that is such a wonderful reminder that most girls will marry a man like her father. And, I see everyday that Dillon is a father that Kenwood will strive to be and that Olivia will want his characteristics in her future husband one day as well.  There is not a single thing I would change about my past, because I couldn't bear the thought of not ending up exactly where I am.  I am so beyond blessed that I cannot even put it into words.  Well, there is my cheesy, mushy, thankfulness speech for the holiday :)  Hope it didn't bore you too much!!!
