Trip to Tulsa

I am aware that it has been way too long since my last post. I can't seem to find the time to download pictures and organize them so I am hoping to make several posts tonight.


The whole family traveled to Tulsa for a cheer competition. Now, this was a few days after our state was hit with an ice storm. We escaped any ice and didn't have to miss school (which I am STILL bummed about) but we were a little concerned with the road conditions in western Arkansas and Eastern Oklahoma. We made it there safe and sound (late but safe) and that is when a series of small disasters struck...

1. We quickly discovered that we left an entire suitcase at home. It happened to be the one that was packed with all of the boys clothes and shoes. So, JD raced to find a Wal-Mart at midnight and came back with some pants that were a tad big but managable.

2. We finally arrive at the arena only to discover a horrible setup. All the spectator seating was up high and Landon was scared. We had to climb several flights of stairs. Not great with two three year olds.

3. Of course, the boys needed a bathroom break soon after arrival at the arena. Long story short (and in Landon's words)...ONE piece went in the potty and it plushed and now its gone! In other words...one of Landon's lenses fell into the toilet. It was an automatic flusher and whoosh...away went the lens.


We managed to make it home with no more mishaps (and Kylie's squad got first place).
