Wilderness Safari

>> Sunday, September 5, 2010

Tomorrow Brice turns 5 years old. Today, we took the boys over to Gentry, AR to the Wilderness Safari. The boys had a great time and so did we, watching them get excited about the animals as we drove through the safari park. We saw all kinds of animals and Brice got to ride a camel.
Here are the pictures from our big day!

So excited to head out for the day...

Rogan loves donut holes!

Helping their daddy drive through the animal park.

The boys loved feeding the animals.

Getting to ride a camel for your 5th birthday, pretty cool!

Children's Museum

>> Wednesday, September 1, 2010

Brice begins school next week so we decided to take a little road trip today to Seminole, OK to visit the children's museum. We have a children's museum here in Tulsa, but it is lacking. Brice had been to the museum in Seminole when he was about Rogan's age and I decided it would be nice to go again when he could do more and Rogan would be big enough now to enjoy most of the activities and displays.

The weather was rainy today so it was a perfect day for the road trip. The boys had a great time. They flew airplanes...

Demanded "order in the court!" Notice Rogan the lil' bailiff in the background..

Played with trucks...

Worked on a race car (definitely their favorite)...

Drove a fire truck...

And dug for dinosaurs...

An excellent day.

Before and After

>> Monday, August 30, 2010

New wood floors and paint

added crown moulding

New paint in the bedrooms and bath too.

I do not think the pictures do all the work we had done justice. The paint and carpet in the bedrooms is so much better and the wood floors are great. We are still working on getting everything back up on the walls, in the closets, and out of the garage. We also decided to go ahead and have crown added in the kitchen and main hallways too. Once you get started...it's hard to stop.

Lake

>> Thursday, August 26, 2010

We have rented a cabin at Greenleaf Lake nearby. We plan to spend the weekend floating around the lake in a rented pontoon boat and teaching the boys how to fish. Looking forward to the weekend.
