Helping Us Out...

The Valdez's are some of our favorite people in the world! Kind, down to earth, funny...what more can you ask for in friends? We asked them to come down for Evan's birthday and so we all headed to Tulsa on Friday so we could hang out before the party the next day.

Friday night, we went to eat at Copeland's. Usually it is one of my favorites, but it was such a horrible experience. Our waiter was more concerned about being witty than being a waiter. He forgot to take our order. Our food took forever to finally make it to the table. We are talking about two hours folks. The big kids really did well. I think the appetizers did a good job of holding them over. One fun thing about going to Copeland's was that we learned Evan loves calamari. He prefers to call it squid though. No need to fancy it up for him. However, Libby was a whole other story. All I will say is that I didn't even stay for dinner. It was so bad, the Hathaway ladies just called it a night.

Ethan and Evan toughing it out:


The next morning, we headed out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel. Much better experience all around...thank goodness!

Miss Emily hamming it up:


Here is that pose. Again. I don't know why he raises his hand every single time we ask him to say cheese:



And Libby Lou cutting to the chase and going straight to the syrup:


Thank you Dan, Joanna, Emily and Ethan for coming to Tulsa and celebrating Evan's birthday with us!
