Proud to live in McAlester
That may seem like an odd post title, but even Kristin would agree with me today.
Let me explain. On November 4, 2010, Sgt. Jason McCluskey of McAlester was killed by enemy gunfire in Afghanistan. The church of "idiots who hate" (the Hillsboro Baptist Church from Kansas) came to protest the funeral. The good citizens of McAlester were not having any of that, so we beat them at their own game. We excercised our right to peacefully assemble, unfortunatley for them, there were so many of us, there was no room for them - they had to gather blocks from the church, American Flags blocked them from the site of the grieving family, and anytime they tried to start a chant, Harley Davidson engines would rev, drowning them out.
Unfortunately, my Church responsibilities prevented me from being able to go, but I sent my Flags with the gals from my office (the girls, and my flags, were on the news, so I'm almost, almost famous!).
Anyway, here are some photos of the event. I sure am proud of how we handled ourselves, it was a moving experience, even if only through pictures.
God bless America. Don't tread on me.

The Tulsa Driller's Game
Sometime in August we invited some friends from Law school to a Tulsa Driller's Game. We left all the kids with a babysitter and had a night at the ballpark. It was a lot of fun, even though the Driller's lost. Chuck even made friends with the Mascot. Yes he is eating Chuck's Mike and Ike's.
Carter's First Day of Preschool
Carter started a 2 day a week preschool in August. This is the picture of his first day.
24th of July
A family in our ward hosted a 24th of July celebration. Carter loved the hay ride. I think we rode it everytime that they had it. It was a great day.
August Visitors.
I am trying to catch up my blog posts this week. So this is the first of many summer, fall posts...
My sister and her husband came to visit us on their move to the east coast. It was fun to have them. We hiked around Robbers Cave and Heather tried to teach me how to decorate a cake. Carter even called Uncle Bryce "Grandpa" mostly. It was a lot of fun. We hope they come back to visit us soon.
