Weekend so far

Friday, we went to dinner with some friends and went to the Thunder game.

Then Saturday morning, David stayed with the kiddos and I went and ran the lake with my friend, Samantha. It was WINDY and HUMID. We were exhausted. I hope the memorial marathon day isn't windy. But this is Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plains...

Came home, showered, and headed to the mall with the whole family! First, we went and got big boys shoes!

Then, stopped to get a cookie : )

We have been playing in the back yard every chance we can get!

This ball pit looks pointless and boring, but I am telling you, it is providing lots of fun! David was annoyed with me that I bought the extra 150 balls. He made it very clear that it was my responsibility to pick them up every day. LOL.

Bless Braley's heart. His knees have got to be hurting! He has been crawling for what seems like ages. He is taking steps periodically, but really prefers to crawl. Sigh.

Love that face!

We had friends and their kids over for pizza last night. And today, we went to breakfast and came back outside to play!

Naps now, then a birthday party this afternoon!

Water table

I promised Paige I'd get her a water table this week, and I delivered! It is in the 70s, so still a little chilly for water table fun. But I said we could try it out for a few minutes today, then go inside and dry off. Well, after 30 minutes I LITERALLY had to drag Paige and Braley away kicking and screaming. I have obviously heard and used this expression many times before, but truly didn't understand what it meant until today. They loved this thing so much!

Jack would approach it every once in a while, but was more interested in his golf clubs.

Umm, y'all can play with the water. I'm working on the golf game.

Best toy ever, momma!

Such a silly little girl, full of life. I love her with every fiber of my being!

Finally, after 30 minutes, I felt like Braley was going to get too cold, so I had to grab him, pry the bucket out of his hands while he screamed and screamed. I hope the neighbors weren't trying to nap. But we came in, took a warm bath, and layed down for naps.

Paige is spending the night with her Mele and Papa tonight and we have a sitter coming for the boys. We are going to dinner downtown and to the Thunder game. Great day all around, here!

Backyard golf

My allergies are never going to forgive me. Is it just me, or is it worse this year than any other year? I love seeing all the bradford pears out, but just thinking about it makes my eyes water, head pound, and sneeze every 10 minutes.

Not even a constant runny nose is keeping me from taking these boys outside today, though!

Brother's don't shake hands!

Braley is a HUGGER.

And we have discovered the joys of golf!

But it is a little trickier than it looks ; )

Especially hard when you are trying to hold your truck, too.

And no, your eyes don't deceive you...that is Braley standing up! All by himself! For several minutes!

Better late than never!

Okay, now you are just showing off. Twirling your golf club and still standing.

We came in for a snack of strawberries, turkey, and cheddar bunnies, then nap time! Not too shabby, being 1.
