DC Pictures Finaly

These are pictures that we took on our trip to Washington, DC in October to meet the president! Hope you enjoy them!
Here is Katy riding a police motorcycle at the crime and punishment museum. She really liked the siren!

Brian and Tanner at the Crime Museum, isnt it interesting that The Cochise County Jail Made it!

A picture from the top of the Washington Memorial, it was really neat!

Brian and Tanner in the White House Bowling Alley, Tanner is trying to be cool. (its not working)

Tanner helping Katy to bowl! It was lots of fun!

Mom Bowling at the White House!

This really neat guy playing near the metro entrance. You should have heard it, it was good!

Katy giving Brian a kiss in his office at the White House (or in the office he borrowed)

Holly acting like she is taking a call from the President! Ha! Please!

Then there is me acting like I am working at Brian's desk. This is right before I told the President of the United States that I was unemployed! I know classy!

Valentine's Day Weekend! So this weekend was Kevin's first weekend without any law school function! YEAH! Unfortunately that meant that his moot court team didnt make it into the 2nd round but they did good!

So for Valentine's Day we drove 1 hour to Okche, OK where we met Holly and Phillip, a boy on her team, for Lunch at the famous Eischens Bar. They are known for their fried chicken and trust me it was worth the drive. It was nice getting to see Holly and Phillip and we got to see some pretty countryside along the way. Then we went to the movies back in Norman and then rented movies on the way home! It was a nice Valentine's Day!

Sunday, Kevin and I, attended Church at McFarlin United Methodist Church which has this amazing organ and beautiful stained glass windows. They are doing the 5 practices lectures which Willcox United methodist Church did right before Christmas. Kevin has a theory on why I am hearing it twice and it is that maybe God is sending me a message. I think maybe God is just letting Kevin hear it! I guess we will both just try and get something from it. The sermon was good and Kevin liked it enough that he said he would come back! Yeah! We went to Cracker Barrel after that were I found a chip of a plate in my chicken and dumplings so lunch was cheap since they took my lunch off! Always a plus!

Thats about it! Just work this week and Mom comes next week! Im super excited!

dinner

This is Steph and I. Then Michael, his bud and Kevin! We were celebrating Mike's 21st!














This is our part of OK during fall! Isnt it pretty!















OK! I made the pasta alla vodka and used the vodka and its good but it would definitely be better with just water! Kevin liked it but I think he was just saying that to appease me! He likes to make me happy so I assume he might have told a little white lie! Other than that it was good!

Also Kevin reminded me of what Maggie did this morning and thought I would share this with you.
So Stephanie was giving Maggie lots of attention this morning before I left for work and I was in the kitchen and I said "Maggie, you want to go to Daddy's House" You should have seen that dog fly! She jumped off Steph's lap and raced to the door~ I wasnt going to tell Kevin cause I didnt want his head to swell but Steph did and he had to bring it up to me about how he was a better father and his dog loved him more!

OK, Im going to put up pics of my roommate and life in OK~

Day Off Early!

So today I thought I got off at 3 but instead got to leave at 12. YEAH! So I came home started to make my cupcakes for my co-workers since our Valentine's Party is tomorrow! Yeah! We are gonna have a bunch of kids hopped up on sugar, isn't that exciting! I am gonna have to just take tylenol with me to class! Haha!

Other than that, I am making dinner for Kevin and Steph. Tracy, Kevin's sister, made this pasta when we were in Stillwater the other day and I am going to try and replicate it. It's called Pasta alla Vodka and Tracy used water instead of Vodka but we are gonna try the vodka option today. I got this recipe off the Pioneer Woman's Website and love her other stuff so Im sure this will be good as well. We are pairing it with cucumber, avocado, and tomato salad and garlic bread! Yum Yum! Also we are gonna have apple turnovers. That is all we are doing right now.

Kevin has practice after dinner so he is busy again but at least he gets to eat with us!

Tornado Warnings

Hello All!

Well really just Heather since she is the only one who knows Im doing this. Today started with light rain and by the afternoon I had to practice tornado drills with my 3 and 4 year old tykes! Let me tell you, 25 3 and 4 year olds is not easy or fun! So I got off work and grabbed my Maggie and came home! Now Steph and I are waiting for the rain to slow so that we can go grab some ice cream! Gotta love ice cream! We arent doing anything much besides that.

Kevin is still getting ready for his moot court competition. He has been practicing every night to compete on Friday so he is busy busy! Stephanie and I are going to try and go and see him but if they pass Friday We get to go watch him Saturday for sure! Yeah! Thats all thats going on in our lives today!

Reading

So today I went to work and have my very own class. My co-teacher Catava has a group of 12 kids and so do I. Today was a tester since I wanted to beat some of the 3 year olds since they didnt want to listen, but we made it through the day without incident!

My favorite pastime, I have been reading this book that Kevin gave me "The Night of the Gun" since he felt that my obsession with "The Twilight" Series was a bit much and I needed to read a better book! So I have started this and it is about this cocaine addict who goes back over his life and interviews people to show how his memory has cushioned his life so that he could deal with it. He makes the comment that our minds do this subconsciously so that we can deal with our past. It is a pretty interesting book and when I finish it I will post my full thoughts on what he thinks and how his life is now.

I guess that is all for today! Have a great day!

These are just some of our Christmas 2008 Pictures!

Here are 3 generations of Hogue's! Cool huh!



Maggie in her first snow/sleet storm in OK with her sweater her Grandma Miriam gave her

Kevin and I in Pinetop after he shoveled off my car for me! He didn't let me drive but that was probably a good idea!

Here is my niece with Grandpa's new puppy Mack! Isnt she
Cute!

Then there is Kevin and I as Tracy tries to get a picture in Greer! This is our normal stance. Kevin trying to be in charge and knowing he's wrong so he has to argue his point! Gosh he is gonna be a great lawyer!

Just thought we would share some recent pics of what we have been up to!

Help to enhance blog

Yesterday, I went to Lawton and had lunch with my friend's parents then went to the all famous "An affair of the Heart" craft fair. There was lots of neat things and we got through the whole thing in less than 2 hours which is a record since most people seem to take a whole day or more to go through. Then I came home and went to dinner with Kevin, Brittany and Dooley. Yum Pei Wei! Then we convinced everyone to go bowling and I stunk it up but Dooley kicked butt~

Today, I went to Church and enjoyed a nice service with a great organ and beautiful stained glass windows! Then I went home and started working on wedding stuff and a grocery list. I went to Walmart and shopped and talked to my best friend (who is suppose to help me with this blog thing) and thats about it. I havent done anything else today. Another week of work starts tomorrow, YEAH!

Work!

So my day has been boring today! But I got home and Steph had already ordered Pizza Shuttle which made my day! So now we are sitting here watching Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice! I love Girls Night! Other than that, we are just chilling out. Kevin is at school till 9pm ish each night working on his trial techniques since next week is his moot court competition. He is the lead prosecution on his team and since he loves to argue, he is amazing! I guess thats all for today!
