January Stuff

Well it has been so long since I have blogged so I am just going to do a list thingie to hopefully cover it all.

  • New years eve: I worked until about 5:30 and came home. We didnt have any plans yet, and I was not even sure that I would be able to stay awake until midnight. We ended up getting together with some friends and playing games. We made it to midnight and past.

  • New years day andy and I took down our Christmas stuff.
  • We went to Dave and Gwen's house to watch OU play in the Fiesta Bowl. The game was really depressing, but we had fun hanging out. Dave and Gwen had gotten their dog Trouble this HUGE rawhide bone thing and it was hilarious to watch her chew on it.

  • We went to Owasso the next weekend for Parker's 1st birthday party! There was baby bottle bowling and birthday cake. After Parker smeared cake all over himself, Mike put him--clothing and all--straight into the bathtub. We got him a drum that says the alphabet in english and spanish so he can be a biligual drummer boy.

if you look next to parker you can see a little yellow wooden bus and the top of a red car that my dad made! he is so handy!

  • We help out with the youth on Wednesdays and for the month of January they are having competitions among all the grades and between girls and guys. One of the funniest was the tug-o-war competition....just look at some of the faces. These people were taking it seriously!

  • One sunday afternoon it was nearly 70 degrees so Andy and I decided to go for a drive in the Monte Carlo. We took the t-tops off and brought the dogs with us. They LOVED the drive. I usually only crack the windows and let yoda stick his little nose out, but since it was so nice i let him kinda prop on the edge of the door. I put his leash on him so I could hang onto him in case we turned too fast...and he was doing great, and tucker was just sitting in the middle of the back seat letting his hair blow in the wind. so after we had been driving around for about 30 minutes we turned into a neighborhood...we were going pretty slow (thankfully!) and yoda jumped out of the car!!! i was still holding his leash so i just grabbed really tight but was so afraid that he would get run over by the back tires. CRAZY DOG! I could not figure out what he wanted to get at so badly that he would jump out of a moving car, but needless to say we rolled up the windows and banished him to the back seat after that! and he was just fine...he only had a little scratch on his back leg--maybe from the leash.


  • I went to a continuing education class this past weekend (Fri, Sat and Sun) in Tulsa. I took Monday (today) off so I could let my brain recover and get some things done around the house. Andy has been sick and he woke up this morning again with a fever so he stayed home. We have been lounging on the couch and right now we are watching last week's American Idol. A few minutes ago we looked over and Yoda was napping in a rather strange position... I think that covers most everything....maybe i will post again in about a month....
