This Halloween was very fun here in OK. We attended the wards Trunk or Treat were the kids came to get loads of candy. We had plenty for them!! I invited a co-workers grandson to it and he came as Sponge Bob. My niece who also came was Tinker Bell and my nephew was a monkey. They were too adorable. Ed &I had costumes as well, we went as Capoeria students. We thought it would be fun, since we are officially green cords in Capoeria and could “bust a move” if someone asked. We also decorated our car and were proud to showcase our carved pumpkins. Ed & I did great I following the patterns I think. (Silly, I know…) We put them on our porch to add to the other Halloween décor.

Home Improvements...

The front of our home.

Ed in his hammock on the side of the porch. He loves his hammock time!

Our new patio Ed put in. (Only the grill is there now.)


Our house came with no driveway, so this is the one we made.

When we moved into our home in April of this year, everything was still dead and our house looked so plain. We’ve been project crazy since we have been here and have done a ton of things. Our home finally has some life. Now the fun part is, it’s winter time now and everything is dieing, but I thought I would share what our house did look like this summer. Here’s just few pictures of what we’ve done.

Yes, we are alive...

I know, I know...it's been FOREVER since I've blogged and told everyone what's going on with the Oklahoma Wilbur's. Thanks to a recent purchase of a HP Pavillion Laptop (thank you Ed) and WiFi at our home, I will be able to update the family blog... everyday if I wanted! There are so many things that I need to blog about but I don't have the time right now to do it. Watch out though, I'll be posting like crazy here soon to update everyone with pictures and other miscellaneous I can think of. We're back...look out!!

Weekend Update

This weekend we decided to take a trip up to Tulsa, OK. It’s the next big city here. We went to Garden Ridge and Harbor Freight to do a bit of shopping. We picked up a few things for our home that we aren’t able to get here in this samll town. Sometimes you need a big city to get things done. I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this or not, but my sister –n- law here in McAlester have been walking for the past month. She’s even joined Weight Watchers in an effort to get us fit. Now we have all the secrets to success. I’ll keep you posted on all of the results. I’ll post pictures soon hopefully of a smaller me.-lol (So far, I’ve lost 8 pounds!! YES!!)

OSP Rodeo (Oklahoma Prison Rodeo)

Last weekend Ed & I attended the OSP Rodeo. It’s an annual event held here in McAlester were everyone outside of the local prison comes in to see the inmates perform all the horse roppin’ and calf tying tricks they’ve learned. Also other state inmates come to compete against them which makes it pretty fun as well. It was really cool actually. I thought I would be soooo scared with inmates and bulls, but it was WELL guarded to say the least.{smile} One of the highlights of the whole evening was the HUMONGUS funnel cakes. I thought Texas had "Texas Size" Funnel Cakes...yeah no.

Happy Birthday Tiffani & Helen!!

As many of you know or may not know actually, my (Tiffani's) 30th birthday was Aug. 4th. Ed being the wonderful husband that he is, (big smile) surprised me at work with a flower/plant basket of beautiful pink flowers. That was an instant indication to everyone at work, something was going on, so everyone passed saying Happy Birthday. Later that afternoon, Ed surprised me again with a dinner out with family and friends at Chilli's. I really enjoyed the company... along with my MOLTEN CHOCOLATE LAVA!! Scrumptious!! The weekend of the 9th, we strolled down to Texas to celebrate my mother's birthday.(August 11, 2008) I will NOT mention how old she turned. :) Ed and I took her to Spring Creek BBQ and made her smell great with tons of Bath and Body Works. We had a good time hanging out with her. Birthday fun for us both!!

Busy Little Bees!!

The Oklahoma Wilbur's have been some busy, busy little bees lately. Let's catch up shall we!! June 28th Ed and I drove to Colorado to a friends wedding for the weekend. It was wonderful weather and beautiful scenery!! The wedding was great and everything was gorgeous. We visited some of Ed's old stomping grounds, as well as friends and family. On the way back home we scooped up our niece an nephew to bring them back to Oklahoma to spend time with grandma and grandpa. It was fun to entertain little ones on the way back home.
Last weekend we headed to Arkansas to the Diamond Mines in Murfreesboro. It was a family trip with Ed's family and niece & nephew. Sad to say we didn't find any diamonds. We did find Quartz, which means we were looking in the right place. So, Ed & I "sneakingly grabbed" a bucket of Arkansas dirt to bring home and try our luck here. You'll know when we find diamonds, cause you'll hear our screams wherever you are!!-lol
This weekend we head to our old home Dallas, Texas. We have a family sealing to attend in the Dallas Temple. We are looking forward to seeing friends and family there again. I have pictures of most of these recent events and will post them as soon as I can. Hopefully after all of these busy weekends we can just stay home and sleep in!! :)
