NCAA Basketball

Chase, Grampy, and Daddy all went down to the BOK Center to see some of the college players practice before their big games. It's pretty cool to have some of the big games being played right here in Tulsa! I don't think Chase realized how cool it was... he was more interested in the lobby and places to run around...





They did get to see a little basketball...

Cousin Devon's birthday party

I think Chase and Devon have bonded, they both share a love for trains and you could tell that the day of their trip to Grampy's train yard! Devon had his birthday party at gymnastics city, and Chase had SOOO much fun (until they did big kid stuff...haha) Chase just followed the birthday boy around and was having a great time!
And he's off!!! Where's Devon... where's Devon...

There he is!!!!

They played in the tunnel...

And on the trampoline...

And then we went downstairs and watched the big kids for awhile before taking a drink break and heading home.

Grampy's Retirement Party!

Grampy is officially retired!!! For his last day at work, we all got to go up and celebrate and see the centennial train. It was such nice weather and was such a fun day! Chase had some of his favorite friends around, his second cousins Desteny and Mason, and his cousins Devon and Leah! It was a great time!






Chase told Grampy during lunch all about the train he had been playing on outside...


Grampy's co-workers...

Family...

Now for the train ride... I think Devon was the most excited of all the kids...

He even sat down and drew a picture of the train before he left....

What a super day!!!

I love ketchup!!!!!

Nice day for a trip to the zoo!

70 degree weather a week after negative temps... couldn't help but get outside, and where else would we go?? The zoo of course! We love our zoo friend membership!




The elephant came to eat some lunch right in front of us!

Do you see that Dad?!?!?!




The zoo is so fun now that Chase can run around on his own and is starting to talk! Here he is pointing out the goat...


He was REALLY into the fish in the rainforest area..


I was taking the video when a guy walked up next to Chase, you can't really hear, but Chase tells him that there is a fish. He turns around and the look on his face cracks me up, it's like he is so proud of himself... ya you told him Chase...haha


We had to stop at the playground before we left. Definitely could not just walk on by the Choo choo in the park!

Birthday party at the bouncy barn!

Chase's friend Gracie turned 3 on Valentine's day! She had a fun party at the bouncy barn, and Chase had a blast playing with her and his buddy Nathan, and all the kids enjoyed playing with Daddy!

What a flirt!

Nathan and Chase getting ready to pounce on Daddy!

Look out Daddy!

Nathan

Gracie blowing out the candles!

Time to eat the cupcakes...yummy!


Are we eating, or playing?

Blizzard 2011

Snow Snow and RECORD BREAKING SNOW!!! Tulsa ended up with 14 inches, and the snow drifts could be measured in feet..forget about inches!!! Daddy went to work Monday night, the blizzard came Tuesday morning, and Daddy was trapped at work, not getting home until Wednesday night!!! We were glad Daddy made it home and could spend some time playing in the snow!!!






Hey!


This is some deep snow!


The Explorer won't be going anywhere for awhile!


Giant snow cones!


Huge snow drifts all around the house!


The 4Runner is surprisingly clean for having been driving around in this mess!


I went out front to take a few more pictures and someone snuck out behind me... he was pretty proud of himself as you can tell from his mischievous smile...


But I just wanted to point out how tall the snow is momma!


Then he spotted the cars on 21st... "Car! Car! Car!"


Ok little boy... back inside, it's tooooo cold to be outside without your coat and hat!
