We had a really nice weekend with Mamaw and Papaw coming to visit. They did the usual. Pancakes at McDonald's to start the day. Happy Meals at lunch. Then they play wherever the kid's want. On Saturday, Jenna and I took advantage of them and took off to Tulsa for the night. We went to the Heritage Beer Festival while the kids went to the Drive-Thru-Safari in Gentry. Win-win all the way around :)

St. Louis Gallery
I already posted the gallery of this trip was up but I really wanted to try out the new slideshow feature of the blog.
Hippos and T-Rexes and 4 Loco, oh my!
We had an awesome trip to St. Louis last weekend. The DiCarlos played perfect hosts. We spent the whole weekend either shuttling the kids to something cool or hanging on their deck and just enjoying the company. Our families click well with the kids getting along and laid back parenting. I did a fair job of hanging with Nick, but the trip home had me regretting the Four Loco and seeing the other side of 1AM three nights in a row.
I uploaded a gallery above. It's mostly the kids at the Magic House, Zoo, and the Science Center.
New photo galleries-Oregon and Teeball
I put up a couple of new photo galleries last night. One is documenting Noah's first teeball season while the other is (finally) on our trip to Oregon.
Mighty spelunkers are we
Yesterday I took Noah and Hayden out to Devil's Den to go hiking and look at the caves. The caves are currently closed due to a fungus problem with the bats but they still thought it was cool to feel the cold breeze and have their voices echo back.

What's a girlfriend?
Excursions
I've added a new link above titled 'Excursions.' The reason is a result of a typical conversation with a family member.
Them- You haven't posted in a week!
Me-I've put new photos on the Flickr Feed every day!
Them-The Flickr Feed?
So I'm trying out a new service that I think looks kind of cool. You'll have to click above or this link to check it out http://thesullivanadventure.jux.com

Blah, blah, blah
Noah went swimming with Hayden...blah, blah, blah; Hayden's spending the night...blah, blah, blah; they're watching Phineas and Ferb...blah, blah, blah; CAMPBELL IS LAYING HER HEAD ON NOAH'S SHOULDER AND SHE'S NOT HITTING, CLAWING, OR BITING HIM!!!!!!!
Kindergarten
So eager and sure;
A backpack hiding his wings.
Our boy. Forever.

Cousins
Jana came to visit last weekend with Noah and I'm always amazed at the love they share. They have their own secret language like siblings. Campbell is crazy about her too. She followed Jana around and always wanted to sit by her. Jana will always be the 'cool' older cousin she compares herself to. I wish they they were able to see each other more. I can see the 16, 13, and 10 year old texting Jon Isaac and Malia how embarrassing their parents are.

Shark Week in HTML 5
In honor of shark week a few weeks back we took the kids over to the Oklahoma Aquarium. I haven't put any video on here for awhile trying to use embedded html 5. This is my test video of Noah in the shark tube.
Yoda Sullivan
Noah has gotten into Star Wars big time. His favorite is Boba Fett which is cool because he was my favorite.
I'm calling him Yoda because of his knack for spontaneously breaking into Yoda-speak.
Today I told him a new Clone Wars was on the DVR and he became very stoic as he grabbed his toy lightsaber and said, "Watch it I must!"
That's my spot
I usually kick Jenna out of 'my corner' but I'll let Cam have it for a kiss.
Fun at 20 ft.
I replaced our living room ceiling fan this weekend. I had rented a scissor lift to seal our second floor windows and decided to bring it in the house for some projects. I took my phone with me an took some pics to pass the time.
The cost of bananas is out of hand
Lesson of the day:
Just because Wal-Mart allows you to slide your debit card and enter your PIN before the computer gives you a total, doesn't mean it's a good idea.
The cashier had to manually enter the price for my bananas that were $1.47. When he went to hand me the receipt all he could mutter was an 'Uh-oh.'
The manager let me bypass the line at customer service but no one was mad. In fact there was no shortage of chuckles.
Such a girl
Beating the Heat
Jenna put the sprinkler on the trampoline for the kids. It's fun for them to jump through the water but even more fun for us listening to them giggle.

Boys! Night! In!
