Our Tulsa zoo trip!

We went to the Tulsa zoo this Monday and had a great time! The zoo here is MUCH bigger than the zoo back in Boise. We saw elephants, giraffe, chimps, snakes (yuck), turtles, and so many other great things!! We also got to ride on the train that circles the zoo. The kids loved it!! Thanks grandma Jo and Ira for the great birthday present!!!

Tulsa Oklahoma by demand!

This is at Oral Roberts University. It's one of my favorite sites I have seen here so far.

Downtown Tulsa. It's beautiful, but completely dead. What I have been told by the locals is they are trying desperately trying to revitalize it.

Tulsa is the bible belt of the country. There are churches everywhere you look. They are all truly beautiful and some of them are hundreds of years old.

This is the Arkansas River! It's beautiful, but I've been told that it is crawling with water mokisins!! Won't be swimming there for awhile!

The River walk in Jenks is beautiful. It has local artists here on Saturdays that sale everything you can imagine..

Random. You will be driving in a random subdivision and out of no where they're these things are drilling for oil.

Another fine shot of the Arkansas!!

Happy 9th Birthday Mikayla!!!!

I can't believe it's been 9 years since out sweet Mikayla came to our family! What a fun 9 years it has been!! She is always so excited for her birthday and appreciative of all of your calls and birthday wishes!! Happy Birthday beautiful!!

Oklahoma 4th of July!

We spent our first holiday in our new town. It was hot and humid, but fun none the less. It's illegal to do any fireworks inside city limits so we drove around for 30 minutes and finally found somewhere safe. While we watched the city fireworks over the Arkansas river we watched our little show as well. During our fireworks our friend Don shot off a bottle rocket that hit a police car driving by! Lucky there was no damage so all he said was to be more careful!! A very eventful 4th of July!!!

Mikenzy's first airplane trip!!

It was so funny to watch her on the plane. From the time we started to taxi to the runway she kept asking if we were taking off yet! Our flight was rerouted due to bad weather in Denver. We ended up sitting on the runway in Wyoming for 2 hours!! The pilots and flight crew loved her and thought she was the cutest thing! They let her "fly the plane" and all. After we finally got on the plane to Tulsa she made a ton of new friends. The best part was when she would ask every person where they were going. When they would tell her Tulsa she would look so bewildered! Every single time!!! It was a LONG trip, but she made it completely enjoyable!!
