Friday of Spring Break we went to the zoo. We had to park across the street at the horse race track because the parking lot was full! We went to the children's zoo first because I haven't been there in a few years. Bentley was fascinated by the goats (although in the picture he looks like he is afraid...he wasn't).
We walked around and saw some animals and then met Jill at the playground there and played for about 20 or 30 minutes before I had to leave to go meet Brady to go out to lunch with him!! We went to chick fil a and it was great to see him during the day!
Sunday we had the Himes over to watch the OU basketball game and eat dessert. We had gooey cake and Bentley enjoyed cleaning the spoon we used for the cool whip. Haha. He licked that thing so clean it didn't even look like it had anything on it to begin with.
We got Kolton's spring pictures. He's so handsome! I just snapped a picture of it really quick before sending it back to school. (I just realized he is wearing the same shirt in his fall and spring pictures haha.)
That weekend we worked on the garage and cleaning the cars. I vacuumed and wiped out the storm shelter. It was full of dead crickets and cobwebs and dead grass. I then sprayed it all around the inside and outside with bug repellent. Hopefully it works for at least the bad weather season. Wednesday I went and bought a bunch of stuff to put in the shelter (food, chargers, extra batteries etc) and made sure our fan and lantern worked and we had all our water and then got a 5 gallon bucket and put a blanket and some toys and stuff in it for the kids. I figure the bucket can be dumped out if we need to use it for a bathroom while we are down there but in the meantime it can keep the blanket free from bugs.
We played outside that afternoon and it was WINDY! Kolton could just stand there and the wind would push him in his roller blades!
That evening a tornado ended up hitting Moore. It went through our old neighborhood and hit Kolton's old school, Southgate. School got canceled on Thursday for the whole district and then on Friday everyone went back except for Southgate. They are now going to Emmaus Baptist Church, which is where Briarwood went last year.
It was crazy to see two of the three radio towers that were right by our old house were gone and the third was broken. So glad we moved and didn't live there when this happened.
This is a little out of order but Brady finally got his truck!!! You have no idea how long and how bad he has wanted this. When we bought the Xterra, we tried really hard to get one of these but couldn't find one in our price range. Anyway, when he got his new job we decided he could get a truck if we found one for the right price. He spent hours and hours looking at trucks and haggling with dealerships. He ended up finding one that had enough rebates and finding a dealership that would give us enough for our trade that it made it in our price range. I was at home with Bentley who was asleep when I got a call from Brady at about 9:00 saying he had made a deal and I needed to come up to sign everything. Oh he was so excited. It was cute. He loves this thing and has tons of stuff he wants to do to it over the years.
Kolton has started another season of soccer. He didn't get to attend any practices before the first game because we were in Utah/practices got canceled because of rain. He was a little nervous heading into the first game but we just told him to be aggressive and he'll do great. We also have 3 new players on our team this year so he was anxious about meeting them as well. Anyway, in the first game he did awesome and ended up scoring 2 goals. His team won 9-5. Then the next week we had a game and he scored 3 goals in their 13-3 victory. Kolton then had a game on Monday night, the 30th, and so he invited his teacher to it. She came and brought her brother and her mom and dad. They got lost and didn't end up getting there until half-time but when Kolton saw her he got a huge grin on his face and waved at her. It was too cute. He scored 4 goals in that game and his team won, although I can't remember the score. They are doing great this season and working well together.
