Well, things have been a little rough here in Oklahoma. We had a major ice storm and my family has not had power since 1 am Monday. The boys have been sick and my poor husband is living in our house with no heat or lights and working during the day. Did I mention we were supposed to have baby boy's first birthday party on Saturday?......invitations have already gone out. Yuck!

The picture you see is of our street sign.  Can you find it?

Here is the link to more pictures....

And a link to Dillon on the news.....

Bedlam 2007

Bedlam at the Curran home is always a little bit tricky.  I am a LOYAL OU fan and Dillon is a LOYAL OSU fan.  However, things got more complicated this year because we are now proud owners of OU season football tickets.  Here is the long and short of our day.

We wake up to snow on the ground and a 2 year old with a temperature.  We pack up our Thanksgiving trip bags and head out to Grandma Jan's....we convince ourselves that the 2 year old will be just fine and we are "just a phone call away"...and a 2 hour drive.  We head to Norman, hit Pepe Delgado's for some Pork Taco's.....the best Mexican food ever!  Then we head to the game.  We hike up to our seats and watch.  We watched and cheered and watched and cheered.  We stayed until the last second.  The Sooner's came out on top, the ponies, Boomer and Sooner, were retired, and Joel had his last home game as a member of the Pride.  We finished our night with Tim and Tracy at Turquoise....Pepe's new restaurant.    A Great Day.....victory again.....until next year!

Oklahoma in the Fall

I was driving by the Memorial yesterday at sunset. It was beautiful.

Happy Halloween....and a day

When we were in Boston a couple of weeks ago, we got to see their attempt to break the world record of # of Jack o Lantern's in one place. It was pretty awesome. They lit them every night and it smelled like a Pumpkin Spice Candle.
