On Thursday I was making our bed when I noticed that it was unusually quiet in the living room. I walked into the room and this is what I found. Apparently John Mark pulled the container of cupcakes from the top of the cabinet and helped himself to the cupcakes that were left. Oh- there were about 6 cupcakes left... He looked so cute sitting there with icing all over his face that I just couldn't get too upset with him.
This was a wonderful weekend for us. We didn't have anything planned and loved just spending quality time with each other and our dear friends.
Saturday we didn't do anything really. I cleaned the house and Micah played with John Mark. I 
know that it sounds really boring, but it was such a fun day!
Sunday was church and then we had a barbecue at the Wehunts. That is where these pictures of John Mark and Caroline are from. They had such a fun time running around and "climbing" the tree. By climbing, I really mean me and Jamie holding them up in the branches until they were tired and said "down."
Monday we went to the zoo and saw the animals. John Mark loved being at the zoo with daddy (he is much more interesting than mommy!) and got to ride the carousel and kiddie train. He had so much fun that he wore himself out and was asleep before we got out of 
the parking lot. We rounded out the evening with popsicles in the driveway. We figured that he was already a sticky, sweaty mess so why not add a little more sugar to his nastiness!!
It was a great weekend spent together, especially considering we are going to be busy for the entire month of June!
Today we were sitting in the living room when Micah and I noticed that it was abnormally quiet in the back of the house where John Mark was playing. I went into our bedroom to investigate and this is what I found...
John Mark had pulled everything out of my closet and was sitting on the ground. I guess he was thinking that we were going to hide from the tornadoes again! Then he proceeded to make me get in the closet with him. What a silly boy!!
I have a lot more pictures from this weekend, but I will leave you with these for now until I have a chance to post again.
My sincerest apologies for a lack of posting. We just got internet at our house today, and Micah has been out of town for a week with the laptop, which was my alternate way of posting.
It's been a busy couple of weekends for us. We celebrated Tiffany's graduation from
UCO with her Master's and Mother's Day this past weekend. It was a fun weekend filled with family and love.
Micah left early Monday morning for a staff retreat in San Antonio, leaving John Mark and I 
behind. I proudly survived my first 3 nights alone EVER, I think, in the history of Stephanie! In the past I have always had someone stay with me if Micah was out of town. I braved the week alone though and I have to say- it was a surprisingly good week. I never realized how much my being 
gone in the evening relied on having Micah at home to stay with John Mark!!
This weekend is HS graduations and parties. I am planning my pre-k graduation on Wednesday as well. The rest of May is already shaping up to be crazy busy, 
then we're off to Middle School camp the first week of June. I can't believe that is already here...
In John Mark related news- he is getting bigger and sillier everyday! His new favorite words are "whoops!" and "elbow." He loves to be outside and gets really upset when we have to come in. It just doesn't even seem possible that he is almost 2 years old!
Well, I guess that is all I have for now. John Mark just poured a cup of water on himself and me. Guess I'll clean that up now...
I have had way too much fun with my new camera. In fact, I took over 100 pictures on Sunday in the backyard... I will spare you looking at all of them, but this one is my absolute favorite. How can you not just love that smile?
I worked my first full day yesterday at the office. I had a great day and God answered my prayers for peace. John Mark had a fun time with mr. chris. Chris even taught him to say "YEAH!" and put his thumbs up. It's probably the funniest thing that he does.
Here is a slideshow of the tons of pictures that I took. Enjoy!!
Our camera died.
And by died, I mean was thrown across the room by a certain little boy we all know and love.
The result- these awesome pictures with lovely lines across them.
Anyway... we went to the zoo twice this week. On Wednesday with my pre-k class from school and today with Jonas and Eric. Wednesday was miserably windy. Today was perfect. The sun was just warm enough and the boys were GREAT!! They loved looking at the different 
animals and we even took a ride on the carousel. John Mark was the only one who seemed to really enjoy the ride though.
We had fun playing with the kittens and rock band!! Now he is completely worn out and sleeping in the chair with Micah. If I hadn't taken so many pictures today that the battery was dead, I would take a picture of that to put on here.
