Below are some pics of some Recent Events.If you dropped in to take a look you can drop me a line at barry@utulsa.edu.

Adding some pictures of the WWE that we went to a few weeks ago. Also a few of the switchfoot concert below...........We had a fun time......

Here is the boogeyman sneaking up on his prey while eating worms....LOL

Here is the Road Warrior.  The second match of the night.  I think he is giving me the evil eye.

Melina getting ready to make her entrance into the ring with Joey and Johnnie.

Here is Melina making her entrance into the ring.  Doing the splits like on TV.

One of my favorites.  Melina with the two clowns. 

Here is Lashley.  Coming to save the day for one of the divas.

Mark Henry (the worlds strongest man) and The Undertaker going at it.  The kids liked the Undertaker.

One of my favorite's.  JBL and Jillian. 

JBL and Chris B. talking smack.

This is the Irishman Finlay.  He likes to fight.  He is one of the guys that cheats all the time.

This was our seats for the night.  We were 6 rows back from the ring.  This is Michael and Dalton watching the Ray Mysterio vs Finlay fight.

Ray Mysterio wins his match.  This is the kids favorite guy.  He is the smallest guy in the ring and does a lot of swinging on the ropes.

Randy Orton showing of his muscles I guess.

Kurt Angle wins the final match.  And everybody chanted you suck.

Switchfoot concert at TU.  Brianna, Allie, Brandi, Dalton, Tiffany and I went to the event.  Switchfoot is one of Allies favorites bands.

Switchfoot and Athlete I believe.

Another shot of Switchfoot.

The Schock/Alexander family outing to the Tulsa Zoo on March 12th.  Here are all of our kids making their parents proud.

And Tamara says I always look unhappy.  Yogi looks excited to head to Wyoming.

The Alexander truckster getting loaded.

Picnic inside the zoo with Tam and Yogi plus our 6 kids.

Weekend of March 11th.  Kid Rock concert.  Just the guys went on the trip.  We drove down Saturday afternoon and drove back that night.  We walked around the river walk area and stopped into a few bars before the concert.  The weather was great, beer to expensive but the people watching was great.  You can imagine what is at a Kid Rock concert.

Here is another shot of the river walk in OKC.  This is on the east end looking back towards the west.

Boy, Ted looks happy.  Perhaps he forgot something. 

Here is our dog Choco killing sponge bob.  She is a killer.

Jan 14th 2006      Hillbillies Inn in Arcadia Oklahoma.  This is the Bed and Breakfast we stayed at for the Bullnanza trip.

The outside looks a little scary but the inside has cedar wood walls and each room is decorated in different western themes.  The best part is the location to the Bull Riding.  It is a short trip on a dirt road.  Here is Tiff and my sister Amanda in the bunkhouse.

This is inside the restaurant.  The food is good and the wait staff friendly or at least tolerant of the Yogi and Bear duo.

This is a shot of the big round barn when we were leaving the Band B.  For those "older" people they may have heard of this historic landmark.  Amanda was not impressed.

We all rode down together in Yogi/Tam's suburban.  This is the trip home.  You can tell everybody is excited to be so snug.

Some unique artwork in the big town of Arcadia.  In this picture its hard to see the legs of the spider truck but you can see the lady bug , um bug.  Yogi being my best friend could sense that Amanda was on my last nerve so he drove around town to prolong her agony of getting home.  Now Amanda can tell her class she has seen the dowtown of Arcadia.

Dennis has found his street.  We stopped and had him get out to take a picture next to the sign.  It also gave us an opportunity to get some "fresh" air into the vehicle without him fogging everything.

This was approx. 5 miles east of Arcadia.  We had to stop right?  Yogi turned around so I could get a picture just for Amanda. 

Oh Look.  Amanda is finally happy.  We stopped at a McDonalds on the way home.  I am sure the anticipation of a happy meal was overwhelming.  Too bad they did not have any blue berry pancakes.

Dec. 31st 2005         At the New Years Eve party.  A picture is worth a thousand words. 

New Years Eve at Amanda and Dennis' house.  Here Dalton's "girlfriend" Kelsa is giving Michael and Dalton a dance show.  I like how Daltons arms are behind his head.

Jan 1st 2006.  I was leaving the New Years Eve Party.  This is a shot back towards Mom and Dads house.  Myself, Jason L., Lena and Dennis stayed up playing cards until the sun came up.

Sticking with tradition here is a "Barry" shot.  I have been told that I can't pace myself.  Like a long distance runner you could say.  Well as usual who is the last man standing?  At least me and my watch enjoyed a beautiful sun rise.

Robbers Cave State Park the week after Christmas.  For the last few years we have spent our week off from work with Tamara/Yogi and thier kids.                  Here is a pic of Bri and Allie.  We went hiking every day while at Robbers Cave.  They must have been tired and needed a rest.

Did she not think her shoe would stink after hiking a few miles.  She takes after her mother.

Bri enjoyed throwing leaves and sticks off the cliff.  I think this was "flick" or something like that (inside joke I guess).

A thrilling game of Texas hold em.  Mark and Sean came down one night.  They rode their 4-wheelers at Eufaula dam again.  Mark loved these cards.  They were Winnie the Pooh cards that Allie had.  The colors were pink, lavendar and other gay colors that Mark could not distinguish.  At least that is his excuse for losing.

Here is a log that Bri and Allie had to cross.  We talked Tiffany and Dalton into going hiking with us one day.  Dalton did not attempt the crossing but kept saying I hope you fall in the water and get wet.  Brotherly love.

Allie made this one ok even though Dalton was nervous for her.

During the Hike we found a large creek with huge boulders that the kids enjoyed playing on.  Dalton kept throwing rocks at the girls in attempts to scare them.  I told them to watch out for snakes warming themselves on the rocks so he took the opportunity to "scare" them.

This was the midway point of our family hike.  That is my hiking stick next to the sign.  The ripples are of Dalton trying to throw rocks across the pond.

There was a large beaver "house" on one edge of the pond.  Most of the trees around the pond had several markings of his handy work.

When you have to "go" you have to "go". 

Here is the Ride Home from Robbers Cave.  Dalton and Choco are fast asleep.  We had a great time and hope to spend next X-mas with the Alexanders.

Christmas at Grandpa and Grandma's.  It's a mad house.

Christmas Eve morning at the house.  At least the dog is posing.

A picture of the schock1 family at Dusty and Angel's Wedding.  They were married on 12/17/05 in Owasso.  I was one of the groomsman and enjoyed wearing a tux.  Yeah Right.  Looks like Tiff is hiding.

Its Dusty and his boyfriend at the Dinner table during the reception.  Although Dusty is married his true love is his boyfriend Brian.  Aren't they a cute couple.

Dusty lifting Angel during the reception.  A practice run for carrying her across the threshold.  I think he hurt his back.  Actually he was feeling no pain at this point as you will soon see.






 

Dusty at 6:30 in his bedroom at his parents house.  The reception was held at his parents.  Isn't Angel a lucky new bride.  Dusty is as dreamy as Dennis.  We shall see if the No consummation on the wedding night holds true for a lasting marriage.  Dusty is in the military and will be heading to Lawton with Angel for the next 6 months then he is back to the Carolina's for some jump training.  Congrats to them both!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A picture of the "smoke hole" at the Annual X-mas party.  Looks like Mrs. Kelley is hitting the wine bottle a little hard.  Perhaps we should move the party outiside next year.

Shot of inside the house during the Christmas party.  Notice its a Christmas party not a holiday party.  We were celebrating Christ by drinking........LOL   He understands.  Were tight......

Jaime is such a loser.  I wonder if all those empties are hers.

I was the last man standing again.  The time is 4:20 in the a.m.  The party was a success although there was a lot of the same gift ideas for the dirty santa gift exchange.  P.S.  Matt and Jeannie snuck out real early.  I took my eyes off of him for two seconds.  Last I heard was Something about timing is everything.

Here is our kitchen since we had a minor water leak from the fridge ice maker line.  There was a pin hole leak in the line and it was behind the dishwasher.  We kept getting hollow ice and could not figure out why.  Replaced the pump and no luck.  After the workers pulled up the old tile they found mold growing on the subfloor and particle boards.  Did I mention I am ready for this year to be over. 

OU vs OSU party.  This is the card table in action.  Texas Hold'em was played and it looks like Doug and Christie's son is learning the ropes.  Poor Melissa.  I had to sit down and take some of her money later.  She is so spoiled!!!  Party was held at Amanda and Dennis'.  Amanda is actually playing cards in this picture.  She probably thought it was old maid or something.

We had some brave OSU fans.  Not their year for football.  Basketball season is here though and there is still hope for them. 

Here is a picture from the OU vs OSU game party at Amanda and Dennis.  Proof that Matt is still alive and sometimes can make it out and hang with his best friend behind him.  He is really explaining something to Jodi.

Here is where the party ends up (garage) since all these smokers can't last more than a minute without a cig. 

An expensive "sneeze" by Tiffany.  She sneezed as she approached a light and ran through it.  Luckily nobody was hurt except for her new car.  Oh well.

On Nov. 12 at the TU vs East Carolina game.  We had a small tail gate party with a TV and some home made chili.  This was our 3rd time to tail gate for the season.  There was suppose to be a chance of rain all day so this kept some people from coming to the game/party.  The weather was great in the 70's and not a cloud in the sky.  Good Ole Oklahoma weather.

Playing catch with Dalton before the game.  My truck is to the right.  I have to leave it there overnight in order to have a good spot.  You can see how close we are to the stadium.  TU finished with an 8-4 record for the year and won the western side of conference USA.  They will be playing for the championship on Dec. 3rd.  Go TU.  They are now Conference USA champs!!!!!

Brother Brian and his son Michael came up to the game.  We were watching the LSU game on TV.  We had a few visitors stop by throughout the day.

Camping Trip on   11-05-05.  We went to Robbers Cave.  This is a picture of lake Carlton and the bluff that sits next to it.  Allie, Bri and myself hiked up to the top of this.  The weekend was great with temperatures in the 80's during the day and 50's at night.  A perfect weekend for camping and playing out doors.  In November!!!!!!!! 

Here is the top off the bluff in the picture above.  We stayed up here for about an hour.  We even took a little nap on the rocks.  What a view especially in the fall with the leaves changing color.  Its about a two mile hike to this point.  As you can tell the girls had a blast.

Striking a pose with Allie. 

Striking a pose with Brianna.

This is a view from the bluff back towards the north of Lake Carlton.  Little did I know at the time of this picture that I would be walking this way for a long time.  We decided to take the long way home which turned into a  2 hr hike just to find the road.

This is a picture towards the south and the direction we had just hiked.  The girls wanted to get a tent and camp up here.  Yeah right.

Hiking on the 3 hr tour hike.  The girls are back there somewhere.  They were ready to get home and of course were hungry.  Only a few more miles to go.  Although we did not know this at the time of this picture.

The girls were happy and a little tired when we found a dirt road.  First sign of civilization.  Should we follow the trail some more or follow the road.  All roads lead to other roads correct?  So we decided to follow the road back towards the east.

Too bad the road went into a creek.  The girls decided to wade across the creek while I took the high drier route.  They said the cold water felt good on their tired feet. 

The dirt road did finally meet up with the state park road.  The girls thought they were going to take a nap in the middle of the road.  It did not take long for a vehicle to change their mind for them.  Now only two more miles to get back to my truck which is located in the trout fishing area of the park.  This is were our journey started.  Great exercise....

Here we are around the fire at night.  Dalton has already fallen asleep and been sent to bed. 

Allison and Sean made it to another camping trip.  They are becoming regulars.  They had to work Saturday but came down after work.  Mark, Allison, Sean rode their four wheelers below Eufaula dam the next day.  Mark said it was a great place to ride and only a 30 minute drive from the campground.  Good news so maybe we can get back to camping there more.

This is a picture of our campground the following morning.  This is in Old Circle number 41.  Its a great spot because there are no other people or camp sites on the north side.   We All had a great time and look forward to going again.  I doubt we have this great of weather until next spring.   Never know!!!! Plus trout season is starting........................

Allie and Bri playing with the Pigs.  There room looks like Allie's!   This is at Uncle Kevins farm in Iowa.  We were there in October 05.

At the big Schockemoehl Wedding in Iowa.  The weekend of Oct. 15th.

The kids at Osage Hills State Park over the summer.  They were jumping off a tall bluff into the sandcreek below.  I had to jump in to in order for Dalton to go.  Since the temps were getting into the high 90's it felt good.

One of Allie and Bri's volleyball games.  I think they have won once.

Here are a few pictures of the TU/Memphis game which TU won in overtime.

A great night for football. 

At Sooner City for the TU/OU game.  Jimmy Ray lives.

Sooner City in Norman.                    Thanks Jeff and Dee!!!!!!

More Sooner City.  Too bad the picture does not relate the noise.
