LEWIS-DAILEY HOUSE

I Do

2009-09-08T20:42:00.002-05:00

Well, we FINALLY did it! I'm offically Mrs Dailey. Married during our Alaskan cruise in Juneau at the Glacier Gardens.

My Boys!

Getting ready to walk down the aisle

2009-07-15T19:33:00.002-05:00

So very behind, as usual :) Been working some extra. Our cruise is coming up quickly,which means my wedding is coming up very quickly. Go for the 2nd fitting of my dress next week!! And my wonderful freinds are throwing me a bridal shower at the end of the month-Im blessed with great friends! Spencer is growing like a weed, he is going to be tall like his daddy! Right now they are off on a boys trip at table rock lake, visiting freinds of Greg's from PA school. So I of course take this time to paint Spencer's bathroom and Im itching to paint our kitchen and kitchen cabinets. But that will take Greg being out of the house for a couple of days. Part of what makes our relationship work is that we are so very oppisite and the way I do things when it comes to painting makes greg twtich-but our house looks nice!
Will get around to posting new pics soon, Spencer's 3rd bday is coming up at the beginning of August so I need to get that all planned out. Hope everyone is well.

So Behind.......

A tennis pro in the making????

Greg played semi pro tennis back in the day. And he is wanting to start playing again. Spencer thought this was a great idea, as long as he gets to do it as well. So off to the store they went and Spencer picked out a spongebob tennis racket and sponge bob balls

Here we see Spence setting up for a dynamic serve

And the follow through.....

More pics of our little Roger Federer coming soon.......

Little Miss Helen on her 1st B'day- She is a cross between her aunt melon and aunt lizard, she is headstrong like her mama- one of Renie's best traits.

Riding on the back of the golf cart going to see the horses.....again

Alabama Trip Part I

2009-04-13T13:38:00.004-05:00

Pics from our Bama trip over spring break!!

Went up to Sand Mountain to our Aunt Susie's house to see Cousin Katie's Horse Litely

Spencer runs hot and cold on horses- he says he wants to ride them, but when the time comes we get a bit shy

We also met up with my dear old friend Renie and her kiddos Philip and Helen.

Helen's pic comes later on....

We always stop by cousin Suzanne's room when we are in town.

Spencer made himself right at home

Soooooo Behind.....

2009-04-10T13:12:00.002-05:00

I'm a few weeks behind :) We have been really busy in the Dailey house. Spencer, Becky and I went to Bham and had a wonderful time- a more detailed post to come later. Then we had new carpet installed, which of course came with some hang ups- again, a more detaile post later. Its now easter weekend, so lots of pics to be taken this weekend. I will update after this weekend.......I promise:)

Heading to Bama

2009-03-13T13:12:00.001-05:00

We, Becky, Spencer and Myself, Will be Bama bound on monday! Hope to see as many people as we can.

Family History

2009-03-04T13:55:00.003-06:00

This pic was taken in 1960 for Oklahoma Ranch and Farm World. The artical was titled "From Bukin' Broncs To Buckin Diesels" From left to right- my dad Bo, Uncle Jiggs, Uncle Joe, Uncle J and Uncle Bill.

The artical featured that the Lewis Brothers decided to quit trying for championship buckles at rodeos and settle down. They organized Lewis Brothers Livestock Express, with a fleet of 7 diesels and started trucking animals near and far.

Finding this little piece of history is great! My dad is now the only one left, and still lives in the house you see in this pic. Even though I get frustrated with him when he gets going on some of his stories. Its great that my son gets to see and hear this kind of family history and its just an added bonus that he sees his Pa-pa Bo as a big cowboy.

The Cowboy Saga Continues.......

2009-03-04T09:46:00.004-06:00

What is Spencer watching you may ask........

Look closely- yes its a western. The one thing you dont know is that its 530 am!!!

Thank You Encore Westerns, 24/7

Introducing Bones!

2009-03-04T09:33:00.004-06:00

Spencer has a dog of his own now, thanks to Papa Bo!

Here we see Spence checking out the new dog house- the new dog is an outside dog. Unlike our other 2 who are spoiled and cant stay outside for an extended period of time.

Bones is not sure what is going on- he thought the house was for him!

Bones is 18months to 2yrs of age. He is an Aussie Shepherd mix, and thankfully very smart. But he is one heck of a digger- a black mark against most Aussies

Welcome home Bones :)

I Pod Baby

2009-02-02T11:31:00.003-06:00

Spencer may look just like his daddy, but he loves technology like his mama!!

Cowboy Up!!!

2009-01-13T15:06:00.008-06:00

We are in a cowboy phase! It all started in part to a combo of his gene pool: my dad and all his brothers are cowboys- they have the world championship buckles to prove it, the backyardigans: Eureka episode, we watch numerous times a day and a Gene Autry movie.....

We dont go anywhere without our cowboy hat

"What are you looking at"

The cutest cowboy ever!

And what is a cowboy without his horses

Christmas Luck

2008-12-25T14:39:00.002-06:00

Last friday I recv'd a call from one of the local radio stations. Did not think much of it at first, I was at work and unable to return the call. I called on saturday and they told me to call back on monday that I had won something. I started to wrack my brain and I remembered while I was waiting on Spencer's christmas pics at Moto Photo I had filled out a chance for a drawing- the 12 days of christmas sponsored by Mix 96, thats all I could remember. So I called monday before we headed out to Branson and I had won the grand prize!! I was stunned, I've never won anything like this before. I had won 12 $250 gift certificates to various business around Tulsa and a free lasik eye surgery. Luckily I can give Greg the lasik surgery, and we also are able to go to the New Years Eve bash at the Doubletree downtown and stay for free!!!!

Sugar Cookies

2008-12-15T23:45:00.004-06:00

This year we made sugar cookies for the 1st time. Even Allie got in on the fun, note the red sprinkles on her nose

Spencer taking a taste of his work- as all great chefs do

He is a true master at the sprinkles

Red or Green....hmmm

Some of the finished products

Christmas Fun

2008-12-15T23:36:00.003-06:00

A bit behind posting pics of our christmas tree and etc. My sister and I spent a couple of hours decorating the tree. Spencer thought it was pretty and one of our cats thought it a great place to hide from a pesky toddler

Above is coach seeking refuge

After the stockings were hung, spence learned a hard lesson in not pulling on the stockings. Til this day we are still putting band aids on his owie

The finished product- not to bad

Recovery

2008-12-10T16:13:00.002-06:00

As you all know I'm a RN in an ICU and have been for 6yrs. I also have had 3 surgeries on my other knee and have been down this road before. The only differences now are that I have Greg and Spencer. Greg is a PA and has been for 8 years and is really good at his job. He is driving me mad... "why aren't you using your crutches", "where is your brace" I know he means well and I love him dearly-I'm a horrible patient.

Spencer is your typical 2yr old, and one of his new fun toys is the dust pan and the little brush that goes with it. I cant explain why he thought it would be funny to run up to me and jab the dust pan into my knee. I saw stars!! Of course if I had been wearing my brace.....

Knee Surgery

2008-12-07T15:32:00.002-06:00

Well so far so good- had surgery on friday on my "good" knee. The same procedure I had on my left knee the first time. So here is to hoping that this one goes much better than the last. The worst part is that I cant bathe until tomorrow.

Christmas Portraits

2008-12-03T21:29:00.004-06:00

Christmas 2008 Portraits- Spencer wanted a picture with mommy. Of course it had to be a day of no make-up and a not so good hair day. But black and white photos hide alot!

This is just one of the poses we picked this year(there are 3 more, but I'll spare you). I was amazed the photographer could get a good pic. Spencer was jumping up and down and messing with the trees. He is such a stinker.....

Yeah Alabama

2008-11-30T16:55:00.001-06:00

Roll Tide, Roll.....

Alabama 36 Auburn 0

On to the SEC championship game!!!

Toddlernese

2008-11-27T16:56:00.002-06:00

I love listening to Spencer talk- trying new words everyday with just a bit of a lisp. For example, we watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving the other night. Spencer's first time to really sit down and watch such a classic :)

Snoopy = smoup pee

Woodstock = wood smock

Peppermint Patty = pepper int atty

Love It!!!

A one, two punch

2008-11-24T12:54:00.002-06:00

With a child in daycare comes illness as one should suspect. But what I wasnt ready for was that I would be the sickest of them all. It all started with a little GI bug, Spence had a day and a half of GI disturbance. I had 3 days of diarrhea & vomitting-I never knew the human body could produce so much, especially when even the smell of food sends you running for the nearest bathroom. Then the second wave of sickness, an URI. Spence had a running nose, coughing ect. I ended up with whooping cough. I havent slept in 3 days and I cant taste anything that I attempt to eat. Its one heck of a diet plan!!

Fall Leaves

2008-11-13T18:17:00.003-06:00

With a new house, comes responsibility...

With fall, comes leaves, lots & lots of leaves...

Luckily we have Spencer to help

He really gets into his work

Also a great photo opp...

Thanksgiving

2008-11-12T14:59:00.002-06:00

I'll be working on thanksgiving, so we will give thanks a few days early with some of our dear friends. Which means I have to get the house ready! And thanks to our wonderful dog phantom, I'll be giving our 1/4 bath by the laundry room a make over. Some how he managed to lock himself in the bathroom, and being the dog he is, he did everything to get out. So I'm off to Home Depot for paint, a new door, molding and new blinds. I'm soooo thankful for phantom.

Going on a train ride!!!

2008-11-11T17:49:00.008-06:00

Spence, like most boys his age LOVES trains. So we went for a 3hr ride on the AR & MO line.

waiting on the train!!

He had a great time.......

Pickin Pumkins with Aunt Boo??

2008-11-05T13:54:00.001-06:00

As is if picking pumkins with Carson wasnt enough! We went to pumkin town here in Tulsa with Aunt Boo. Even though she managed not to have her pic taken

Spencer laying claim to his pumkin

But wait...there might be a better one

Riding the ponies(couldnt figure out how to flip it)

In OKC with Catey and Carson

2008-11-05T13:30:00.001-06:00

Went to the Orr Family Farm in OKC with our friends Catey and Carson to pick pumkins

Catey and Carson

Carson and Spencer-They were not big fans of the hay

Ha, Ha...Titles. Thanks Renie

2008-11-04T19:45:00.002-06:00

Oh, and Renie I promise to do my best and keep current :) Love you!!

Spencer and Griffin

2008-11-04T19:20:00.001-06:00

Spencer and I used to babysit my friend Nikki's little boy - Griffin. Spencer was a great help as you can tell from this picture. But oddly enough you asked if he wants a baby brother or sister he says no. We are not expecting yet......Hopefully Spencer will change his mind next year?

Our 4 Legged Babies

2008-11-04T19:10:00.001-06:00

Allie and Phantom enjoying the river-silly hounds

Here we are......

2008-11-04T18:58:00.001-06:00

Finally!! We have started our blog. Starting a bit late, but better late than never. This pic is from Spencer's 2nd B'day, we spent most of the day at the Illinois River. Spence had a great time, as did our four legged babies- Allie and Phantom
