Yes, I know she looks homeless, but we don't have a lot of winter clothes for her, because winter's here are generally nice!

Winter Fun!
Last year, we had a pretty awesome ice storm. This year's was a little different. It was more like frozen snow. We got 2-3" of it and it was so solid, even driving your car over it wouldn't crush it! School was canceled for Jason for two days, so we got to enjoy having him home with us! Kate loves being outside, but I wasn't about to try and walk on that stuff, I'm wobbly as it is anyway! So Jason made a make-shift sled out of a cardboard box and pulled her around in the backyard for a while! I think they both had a blast!

Well, that was a very nice Christmas.
Originally, we had planned to just hang out in OK for Christmas, but I guess my Mom knows me too well, so we ended up spending Christmas in Washington with My family. I went up about a week before Jason, so he could study and take his dental boards. (Which by the way, he passed! We are so proud of him!)
Washington welcomed Kate and me with a BEAUTIFUL blanket of fresh snow. Western Washington usually doesn't get much snow, so it was a neat Christmas surprise....at least for a few days, until it was a day or two before Jason was supposed to be flying in, a day or two before Christmas Eve and flights in and out of Sea-Tac were being canceled! Luckily he made it in fine and we were able to be together for Christmas. My sister and her family, who was supposed to be in Dallas for her bro. in-law's wedding was not so lucky! LONG story short, they ended up staying with us for Christmas, and were able to get on a later flight and still make it to the wedding. I felt bad for all the chaos they had to endure, but was so happy they were with us for Christmas. It was also my little brother's last Christmas home before he goes on a mission, so it was nice for him to have more family there! Because there was SO much snow, we were basically home bodies, which was fine for me! We just got to hang out, enjoy each other's company, bake, EAT and relax! I was a slacker with the camera, so here some of the few pictures I took!
CHRISTMAS MORNING:
Our stockings that I started LAST Christmas! Dont' worry, still not done! I am planning on getting our names embroidered on them.
My cute parents on their way to a New Year's dance!
And of course, no trip to Grandma and Grandpa's would be complete without a little snuggle time!

December in Oklahoma
Some highlights of our December in Oklahoma!
*Decorating the house, Kate LOVED all of the lights, in fact we still have some up in our kitchen because she likes them so much!
*Teaching Kate that she needed to "be soft" to the Christmas tree, and then listening to her sob for a half hour. She is one sensitive girl!
*Christmas programs on T.V. Much to my dismay Kate wasn't really into the classics, but loved all the ones on the Disney Channel, and Strawberry Shortcake's Berry Merry Christmas!
*Chickasha's Festival of Light!
*Kate in her festive Christmas dress! Thanks Grandma B!!!
*And a few Christmas presents before we were off to Washington!
(snuggling her blanket for her "big girl bed")

Happy Thanksgiving 2008
This year for Thanksgiving, we were lucky enough to be able to travel to sunny CA and see the WHOLE Dulgarian bunch! Jason's little brother, Christopher, just got home from his mission, so it was the first time in almost 3 years that EVERYONE was together, it was, of course, a total party!
Kate givin' some love to Uncle Chris
The week started out with a trip to the ocean to check out the tide pools, we had a blast and Kate enjoyed poking everything, getting her feet wet and somehow managing to get sand in every crack, even with all her clothes and a diaper on!
We even had a few cool finds
Another highlight was going to the aquarium. Kate has a little obsession with fish, and she sure let us know about. She spent most of the time there making the sign fish and trying her hardest to say it, but the most she could get out was "shie, shie!" for fishie!
We also got to go into the aviary, where Ethan was the only cousin brave enough to feed the birds
Although we had a funny feeling Uncle Rob's hair tasted better than the nectar Ethan was feeding them!
This bird would not leave him alone!
Kate had a blast with her cousins, who were all so sweet and helpful to her!
We had our annual Backgammon tournament. Way to go Steph!!!
A fantastic Thanksgiving dinner, and to top off the week, the girls all went to see Celine Dion! It was so fun and she was SO amazing, even those who weren't such big Celine fans at first were converted by the end of the concert! What a fun week, one that I'm sure none of us will forget!

It's a......
tiny toe'd:
thumb sucking:
sweet little, 12 ounce baby.....
BOY!!!
We couldn't be more thrilled! After finding out the day after Kate turned one that we were going to be welcoming another little monkey to our family, we both hoped for but never expected a boy! What a sweet little surprise! We can't wait to meet him on April 15, 2009 (give or take a few weeks, preferably take)!

Halloween 2008!
This year for Halloween we went to our church's "Trunk or Treat". Kate was dressed as a peacock and Jason and I were peacock ranchers! Kate has LOVED her costume from the moment we got it, and anytime she sees it, she HAS to put it on, she especially loves the hat!
My proud peacock!
They had dinner followed by carnival games, prizes and cotton candy and then onto the trunk or treat part! Jason and I were in charge of one of the booth's for the first half hour, but Kate liked it so much, we spent almost the whole night there! Look out Tiger Woods, you've got some serious competition!
But I think Kate's favorite part of the night had to be either the cotton candy or helping me eat some MilkyWays! Ah....I've trained her so well!

Happy Halloween!
I'll post more pictures of our day later, but I just had to post this awesome pumpkin that Jason "sculpted" last night! We just watched a program on pumpkin carving/sculpting and I guess it inspired Jason! Happy Halloween everyone!
