Our Adventures in Northeastern Oklahoma and Kansas

August 22, 2010

View Larger Map This weekend I drove to visit my mom and to go to my grandma’s 80th birthday party. (I’ll have a post on that later) It’s a good six hour trip to my Mom’s house from here in the panhandle. It also just so happened that she found a Jeep that she was [...]

Sweet Shot Tuesday

August 17, 2010

I was wondering around the yard the other day while TJ was playing. While I was snapping photos of my roses, TJ came over to me and I gout this shot with my wide angle lens. I love it. He has such a serene and sweet look on his face and I love how you [...]

August 13, 2010

We stopped in Donley County at the rest stop for TJ to take a break. Although he was wet when we stopped, he stayed dry all the way to Dallas! Like 5 hours! He even used the potty at the Dallas Cowboys game despite the rap music making him want to do a dance on [...]

Potty Training and Road Trips

August 11, 2010

We’ve been potty training TJ this summer in preparation of our trip to Spain in about a month. (It’s getting so close!) We were hoping to have him potty trained by then, but it doesn’t look like we’re going to make it. He knows what the potty is for and he knows what to do, [...]

The Attic: Before and After

August 8, 2010

Today, we did the inevitable. TJ went to Grandma’s for a couple of days and we went home to take care of a big mess that has been hiding behind the attic door. Yes, it was somewhere around 95 degrees or hotter today. But, when the kid’s away – mom and dad have to get [...]
