Cute as a Button! What?

I don't know who ever decided that buttons were cute....because what I'm about to show you is waaaaaay cuter!


My new Niece was born today! Isn't she gorgeous?

I don't know all the fine details. I was actually informed of them, but I was just so excited to hear she was born that I didn't focus on remembering them! I know she was born today, October 20th around 11am. She was about 6 lbs and about 18 inches. One more thing I can't tell you is her name. She is currently helping her Mommy and Daddy decide on the perfect name. Whatever they pick, it will be perfect I'm sure. Until we know for sure, Mia and I are calling her Baby CoCo. :O)

What a Precious Bundle!

One more thing... I think we must rethink the cuteness comparisons! From now on, I say we just use "Cute As Baby CoCo!"

My Little iTunes Buddy

Mia, Maddison and Kayla @ D&B's

Mia received an iTunes gift card for her birthday from her friend Kayla. We all met up at Dave and Busters two Sundays ago for a celebration lunch for Kayla’s birthday.

I just wanted to report with all of Mia’s findings on iTunes! (You know we are both pretty much obsessed. I have passed it on to her!) So that gift to her was PERFECT! Thanks soooo much Kayla!

I sat down with her and made her make a list of everything she wanted so we could plug in her gift card and use it all at one time. (It would have been dangerous leaving any balance since we all use the same iTunes account and I purchase items daily. I wanted to make sure that she utilized the whole card.) She had noooo problem spending every last cent!

Here’s what she got:

Taylor Swift’s self titled album. (The first one - she did not yet have it)

“Back to December” and “Speak Now” - Two of Taylor Swift’s new singles that are being released one by one to count down to her new album.

The Big Time Rush Album (it’s on sale for $6.99 in the iTunes store…get it while it’s hot!)

The single “Live Like There’s No Tomorrow” by Selena Gomez – From the movie Ramona and Beezus

And…The paid version of the App called Sound Hound. It does what Shazam does, but pretty much always returns lyrics. You can get unlimited song identification and lyrics for $4.99.

Mia loves to retrieve the lyrics to songs via the Sound Hound App and sing along! I think it was totally worth the $4.99. She has so much fun!

Sing your little heart out Girl!

Eight is Gonna Be Great!

Happy Birthday to Sweet Miss Mia! Today she turns EIGHT! Yikes how time has flown by!

Saturday We had two soccer games. So we were all excited to relax that night. Our friends had a football party and we decided to bring a birthday cake to celebrate ! After all, this is our Okie Family.

We gave Mia her very own James Avery charm bracelet. She reeeeealllly loves it! Now we always have gift ideas. We also gave her a Middleton Doll. She is obsessed with dolls. Grandma Sherri got her Ivy, the American Girl this summer for her early birthday gift. She got her first Middleton doll with some birthday money she received during the same trip to Wisco. She plays with "Hadli" all the time and really wanted another one for her birthday. After her first soccer game we drove her to Girlfriends Gifts in Broken Arrow and let her pick out her new baby. This one she named "Ashley".



Today she wanted to go to The Funhouse at the Riverwalk. We played some games, won few tickets and cashed in on some Tootsie Rolls. It was great! And turns out...Mia is a darn good driver! She was passing levels on this driving game like a pro!



After The Funhouse we went to pick up Grandma and Grandpa Eberhardt and their friends from Wisconsin, Mike and Lynn O'Brien. We were going to take Mia to Red Robin for a birthday dinner. She got another charm for her bracelet among other things. This charm is a Dachshund. So cute!






It was a great day. Thanks everyone for her birthday wishes!

Pump It Up

We are at a birthday party for one of Mia's friends from First
Christian - Jacob. The kids are exhausted and shoving down pizza. The
adults are equally worn out. This is the best place to have a party
though. We did one here last year. They take care of everything. (For
a nice price of course.). But you don't lift a finger the whole time
you are here. So of is well worth it. This year we had a party
at the bowling alley. We paid an equally nice price, but sweat our
butts off working and stressing the while time. Apparently it was a
freak deal that our party host was not there. So the kids have a blast
and the parents get to socialize when they come to Pump It Up. Seems
like a fair trade to me!

Happy Four Oh Tonya!

Last night we went to a surprise party for our friend Tonya. She sure
doesn't look 40 does she?! Mike held the party at his kick butt
office at The Riverwalk. Check it out! Are there any job openings
Mike!? After all the party goers left, it was just the Churchill Park
crew left. We all indulged in wine and spirits. Mike even made us
wonderful coffee drinks! It was a great time!

Bowling Party

Today Mia had yet another birthday party. This one was at the bowling
alley. Mia had her 6th Birthday there as well. Seems that is the venue
of choice this year! Mia was very excited to see her buddy Leah
there. They will be away from all of their friends for 14 more days
for Winter Break. (Yes, we are counting!)

Mia's Glamorous Birthday Party

This morning Mia went to Sarah's 6th Birthday Party. It was her first
"drop off" party. It was nice for us because we got to have a couple
of hours of free time. I spent mine having lunch with a friend.
Sarah's party consisted of a fancy brunch and a red carpet photo shoot
as well as an award ceremony. The girls got all dolled up and put on
fake nails and make up after brunch and then walked the red carpet.
This picture was taken of Mia and Sarah right when we arrived. Sarah
used to attend First Christian Preschool with Mia.
