Cuppies and Joe

In an attempt to beat last weekends heat, Tom and I and our friends James and Amy visited Cuppies and Joe, a local dessert shop. It's located in central OKC in this cute little remodeled Arts and Crafts house.

Amy got the Bangarang cupcake. A chocolate cuppie with mocha icing.

I got the Boom Boom Pow cupcake. A vanilla bean cake with chocolate buttercream, caramel, and sea salt.


Tom got the Sass-a-frass cupcake. A red velvet cuppie with buttercream frosting. (Notice the piping hot cup of coffee in Tom's hand? He had four of them and preceeded to stay up until 2:00AM playing Wii.)


I think James got the Neverland cupcake, I couldn't get the camera out in time. It's a peanut butter cuppie with chocolate glaze and a Hershey's Kiss.

James set a great example and the cupcakes were gobbled up very quickly.

These delicious cupcakes were just what we needed to escape the Oklahoma summer heat. Another way to beat the heat? Leave the state! Tom and I are headed back to South Dakota next week.

See y'all real soon!

105 Degrees

What do you do when it's 105 degrees outside?

Chew on a new toy,

Have a little snack,


And take a nap with your favorite friend.

Stay cool Oklahoma!

Doggie Playgroup

Say "Hi" to Riley!

Riley's mom and dad (aka our friends Amy and James) are out of town this weekend, so we are looking after Riley. She's a very good, well-behaved dog, but she's not quite used to Henry's...shall we say energy. He was more or less begging her to play.

Please Riley, can we play ball? Or can I just chase you around the living room?

How about now? Are you ready to play now?

Needless to say, Riley was not interested. She was, however, interested in eating Henry's food. Now, everytime Riley comes to our house, she promptly checks Henry's dish. I find it pretty funny, but Henry has decided he doesn't like sharing his food with girls. As soon as she takes a break from eating, Henry will finish off the entire bowl of food without taking a break.

He will share the water though!

They settled down pretty quickley and watched cars and birds for the majority of the afternoon.

Both dogs are very calm now. Riley's laying down behind my chair and Henry is stretched out the entire length of the couch.


Katie, can Riley stay longer?
