Big Weekend

On Saturday we went to see Donkey Basketball in Wagoner, OK. How often do you get a chance to see Donkey Basketball??? We arrived early, since Shawn was helping them raise money by selling T-shirts. Alyssa got to walk all over the basketball court in her squeeky shoes before the crowd arrived. Here's a few pics of the Donkey Basketball.








Before the night was over, Alyssa went to sleep on us.








On Sunday, we decided to take Alyssa to the zoo because the weather was unseasonably nice for January. The Tulsa Zoo was voted "America's Favorite Zoo", and we have a zoo membership for free admission. Here's a picture of Alyssa and me just monkeying around.





We also stopped for a few minutes in the playground to let Alyssa out of the stroller and see how she liked some of the playground equipment. Here she is, standing up, on the giant teeter totter.





Here's a couple of pictures I snapped of the animals.








Before we got through the rain forrest exhibit, Alyssa went to sleep on us. We're not sure if it was the warm, humid climate inside, or that it was naptime.

An Overdue Update

It's been a while since my last post. We've been keeping pretty busy lately. My recliner, that Shawn bought before I even met her, is old and has a sharp wood corner that seemed to always poke me in the leg when I sat down. I finally got tired of it, and we went shopping for a new one.



While we were shopping, we also were looking for a rocking chair of glider to put in the nursery for rocking Alyssa to sleep when she wakes in the middle of the night. Up untill now we never found any that we both liked. When we decided on the recliner, we asked the salesman if he had any rocking chairs and he showed us a few that they had, but again we didn't really like any of them. When we went to pay for the recliner, there was a wooden rocking chair directly in front of the cashier and we looked it over and decided that we wanted it too.



I also have a couple of pictures of Alyssa to post. This first picture is one we took at home with Shawn's new digital camera of Alyssa playing with one of her books.



The last picture is one we took on the way home from Edmond. Our van has a DVD player with wireless headphones and Shawn sometimes sits in the back next to Alyssa and watches a DVD while I chauffeur them around. In this picture, Alyssa is sitting in her car seat with a set of the headphones on. The first time Shawn tried them on Alyssa, we both said we've got to get a picture of her like this.
