Great Outdoors

We've been gardening and doing some home improvements. Here are some pics. One is of the toad in our flowerbed that we have named Elmo.

Spring Break

Yes, I know we're behind, but it has been pretty busy around here. Below are some pictures from our Spring Break adventure at Beaver's Bend in southeastern Oklahoma. We rented a cabin with Grandpa and Grandma Barnes and had a great time. Noah got to go fishing in the pond at the cabin. He yelled, "I'm done. I'm done," when Grandpa pulled it out of the water. He rode a train and took a pedal boat ride.

Noah Rides

Go Speed Racer

Thanks to Grandpa Barnes for footage of Noah's first go cart race.

Noah is Three!

Noah turned three on Sunday. He is 37 inches tall and weighs 32 pounds. He had a good birthday including a trip to Incredible Pizza, but he developed a fever. Things went downhill from there for all of us, but it looks like we may recover soon. Don't you love the winter?

Snow Days

There was some winter weather that Oklahomans can't maneuver last week so we got to spend two days at home from school. Noah played with everything he owns and took a turn at home decorating. Good times. Haven't really gotten back in the groove because of the weekend. I'm home sick today so that means I've missed three school days in a week. Noah is fine. He has gotten really tall and is pushing 40 inches. He also has discovered that the stool he uses in the bathroom can be used to raid other out-of-reach parts of the house. Travis was gone a lot last week for work. Take care.

Happy New Year

Well, Happy New Year to all. We've been busy with the usual. Nothing exciting to report. This weekend I had to attend a 3-day workshop for the school and created a PhotoStory about the Big Blue U. I'm sure that it's fascinating stuff that you would all like to watch so I will include it here. If you're interested in similar things visit the Celebrate Oklahoma Voices Web site.
