This one is for IDA

This one is for a very special Tulsa Police Officer... one whom we hold dear to our hearts... We love you very much and pray for your safety every night!

Kenzie said that she liked this shirt better than her fireman shirt...

We missed you at skating. Kenz was even skating all by herself! And even trying to skate backwards on the carpet! You and Jennie should come out instead of going to the city!!!

Happy early birthday to you!!! I have something for you when I come home in April! :)

Wanna know a cure for a broken heart?

I understand that ice cream can cure a broken heart... at least that is the impression that I got from TPD's HOTTEST this weekend when I saw him for dinner... (yeah, I finally managed to rope him down long enough to actually eat dinner with me and NOT stand me up... don't be jealous R,Q, & B's M&D) so... back to my story... this incredibly funny (and hot) TPD officer/friend of mine has a deep crush on my littlest niece... what's not to love? She is precious, has gorgeous, long blonde hair, the deepest blue eyes and an adorable toothless smile!!!! So this week, said TPD officer/friend wanted to see my little princess...so I mention to my princess that the TPD officer/friend wanted to talk to her on the phone, and asked her if he called if she would talk to him. Being that she was in a chipper mood, she agreed that she would talk to him and not play bashful... then I asked her if he met her and Papa somewhere if she would talk to him and take a picture with him... the response of my totally smart 5 1/2 year old niece... "Well he's gotta show up first..." -- All I can say is "WOW!" I take it that this TPD officer has stood her up on a few dates as well!!!! (Love ya IDA...) So the plans were made for my princess to meet up with the hot TPD officer on Sunday for ice cream. Boy was Mr. Officer excited about the date!!!! (I will have to publish the pictures...) Poor thing, worked all night (probably talked to his real girlfriend on the phone when he wasn't working) then set his alarm just so he could get up to meet my princess when she decided that she didn't want to go meet him. (can anyone say, "touche")... But she agreed to have breakfast with him the next morning...

Fast forward now to this morning... I am sure that the thought of getting to see my princess is what kept Mr. Officer going all night long... (wink wink) He gets to Braum's to meet my dad and my princess this morning and what does she do??? She plays shy and bashful... I think it is because he was in uniform, but what do I know about my niece? Apparently she did flirt with him a little and flash a few irresistable smiles his way while he ate breakfast. Once dad put my girl in her car seat in the truck she looks over and says to my dad, "Papa... look there's a cop in Braum's..." My dad in turn says, "No princess that is your friend... who happens to be a cop..." And my princess says back, "No Papa, he isn't a cop, that is a cop..." (pointing at his car...)

So basically... poor TPD officer/friend (aka Mr. Officer since we are operating on anynominity here) is no longer a police officer in her eyes... especially since he hasn't been on COPS... you gotta be on COPS to be a REAL police officer...

So Mr. Officer/friend, my question to you is this: did the ice cream help to cure your broken heart after being stood up by the 5 year old???

I hope that everyone knows that I love Mr. Officer/friend very much and I am very proud to know that he is doing an awesome job of keeping Tulsa's streets safe! (Even if he is lucky that there isn't a height and weight limit to be on the job and sometimes he might resemble Barney Fife in full uniform...) And make sure that if you are ever in a gunfight with said TPD officer to surrender if he has his pistol out, you don't have a chance... but if he grabs his shotgun... ah... don't worry... :) (love you my dear!!!!!)
