Tulsa Zoo!

The weather was so nice Saturday (in the 60's) my sister and I decided to take our kids to the Tulsa Zoo. We had a blast!

Here are the kids at the entrance of the zoo.

Lauren doing what the big kids do...

Monkeying around

Looking at the chimps.

Carousel ride

Lets just say someone was not happy when we had to get off the ride!

Snakes...

Lizards...

Birds...

Austin being a boy...

We took a break and let the kids play at the outdoor play area.

Flamingos...

Sea Lions...

Bears...

Look at my big girl! Isn't she cute?!?!?!

Once again...Lauren is trying to just fit right in with the big kids! What ever they did she wanted to do. including climbing on the fence to see the animals better!

Zebras...

Giraffes...

Katlyn and Austin on the turtle.

Lauren loved the Children's Zoo. They only had goats out the day we went...but Lauren didn't mind. She was just running around trying to pet each goat and love on them! It was cute!

Hey, wait a minute! I want to pet you both!

The kids sitting in a wagon. Don't they look like they are having a good time!

Now it's my turn to get in the photo. :-)

And the finale...the car ride home.

One tired child...

Tired child #2

And tired child #3

When I looked back from the front seat this is what I saw...

And finally...about 20 minutes into the ride home this is what happened.

Then when we got back home we stopped by my mom's and dad's house to tell them about our trip and Lauren, Katlyn and my mom were all dancing.

Superbowl 2009

So this year's Superbowl party was pretty eventful! It started out at the Judkins house but then at 3 their power went out due to the ice storm we had the week before. So at 4 p.m. Kraig called and said everyone was coming over to our house...no problem. Well at 4:45 our cable went out! WHAT? How can you have a Superbowl party without the Superbowl? So everyone packs up and is about to go to Scott and Tracey's house when our cable comes back on at 5:15 p.m.! We had to call the group of people that had already left our house (about half of the group) and tell them to turn around. Luckily the power and cable never went off again and everyone had a good time. Lauren was jumping right in with the boys. When they would yell she would yell! She had fun!

Robbie telling Lauren how to bet.

Scott and Lauren talking on cell phones.

Lauren watching the game and talking on Greg's phone.

Twyford and Lauren bonding.

Here daddy...you look stressed. Maybe you need to chew on this!

In case you hadn't heard...teethers are also bracelets!

Um...I guess it's time to let Lauren know that showing off your bebo is not always appropriate! :-)

And the finale...Here you go Matt...here's your winnings!
