The first of many....

We are taking the first step in preparing for our big move to Denver by creating a blog for our family and friends that are far away. We know that we are both of our families favorite children and that it will be extremely hard for them as we move to another state;) In an effort to ease this pain we decided that a blog might be a fun thing to try to post all of our adventures through the Rocky Mountains!

However, for now all we have to post is Oklahoma mountains... that is right.... we have mountains in Oklahoma! They may not be as big as they Rockies but technically they are mountains. Over the Easter holiday the S clan headed out to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge for some hiking, fishing, and a cookout. We started off hiking Elk Mountain with everyone...even the preggo sister in law was up to the challenge:) After that we hung out roasting hot dogs and s'mores. Easter was great with both families! I think that Leo and I are both enjoying our last holidays here in Oklahoma without traveling and having to split time between Oklahoma City and Lawton.

On a different subject… those of you who are reading this know me well enough to not be surprised by the fact that I went to clown camp as a kid. That being said this weekend was the return of Gretchen the clown and all of her balloon animal wonder! Leo is SO proud;) I figure that with my balloon animals, his juggling skills, and Missy on the unicycle we are pretty much ready to hit the family circus circuit. And for all other family members reading we are still looking for a magician, fire breather, and a flying trapeze performer to complete the act. I think that tonight I will go hit up the hospital where my grandma is to spread some ballooning cheer (please keep her in your prayers for a speedy recovery). Stay tuned for our touring schedule nearest you!
