Visitors Welcome!!

We had the pleasure of having Jared's parents, sister (Shalise), and bro-in-law (Spencer) come and visit us on their spring break. They were "vacationing" in northern Oklahoma visiting Spencer's mission and drove down to spend two days with us before they had to drive back to Idaho. The girls were so thrilled to see them. We wanted them to have the best "Fort Sill" experience possible which means we took them to Meers. The only way to explain Meers is that it looks like a homeless shelter, has about 25 stray cats running around, is in the middle of no-where, violates every fire safety code, but has yummy burgers and fried green tomatoes. It was quite the experience. We have a pool at one of the gyms on base that we like to go to. Shalise and Spencer took Meg swimming while I layed in the sun and watched. Meg pretty much thinks that her and Spencer are an item. She was kind of bummed when Spencer broke the news that he was already married to Shalise and that they are going to have a baby boy in July.

Fort Sill Field Artillery Museum

Fort Sill has a great museum just three blocks from where we live. We finally made it a point to take the kids to "learn" about what their dads actually do. This museum was quite amazing. It really went into depth on the history of the "field artillery," and the exhibits were very impressive.

When you first walk in, there are life-like statues on horses depicting a battle scene. The horses looked too real which made Cali scream for her mommy.

Meg and Keyton had a silly pose for every exhibit. We thought the donkey would make the perfect back-drop to capture this moment.

This is our "one in a million" shot where everyone's face was looking somewhat at the camera: Eva, Meg, Seth, Keyton, and Cali.

This exhibit is a piece of the Berlin Wall: Meg, Pat, Cali, and Eva
