This kid took like a 3 hour nap the day after Easter. I put him down in his crib for his morning nap around 9:15 or so. He slept in there until 10:20 or so. I went and got him and sat down on the couch with him. He ended up falling back asleep on me and slept there until 11:10. At that point I needed to get up and dry my hair (it was still in the towel from my shower) so I laid him down and put Brady's shirt on him that happened to be on the bed from folding laundry and he slept there until 12:30!! It was crazy! Easter must have really wore him out!
One morning I was sitting there on the floor messing around on my phone and I look up and he is just playing with cars like a little boy! Its so crazy how fast they grow up!
He loves to wear my sunglasses! He will bring them to me saying "Duh? duh?" (the only sound he uses to communicate anything to you). So, I put them on and he walks around like he is the coolest thing. I love it!
Kolton came home from school one day in such a good mood! He was so happy because he got the best compliment he could get. Someone told him he was fast and he loved that!
Brady was looking at stuff under the truck one evening while we let the boys play outside. Bentley went looking for him and tried to climb under there as well. Brady looked up and saw him at the other end just spying on him. Too cute!
Kolton, in the last couple weeks, has had two pinwheels given to him. Bentley absolutely loves to play with them and take them out of the ground and put them back in. He went and got them one day and then tried to ride on his bike but didn't know how to hold on and hold the pinwheels. It was funny.
Kolton got the biggest surprise ever! Last Friday his teacher texted me and said her mom wanted to give Kolton her season tickets for a game if he'd like to go to one. I of course told her he'd love to and that if there was a game she couldn't make we'd love to use their tickets. She texted me back and said "How about tonight?" Mrs. Milligan's mom went up to the school, pulled Kolton out of class, and gave him the tickets. I wish I could have seen his face because I know he was so excited! He couldn't wait to tell me when he got home. I got to go with him this time and I was so excited to spend the evening with him. We left a little early so we could stop by Thunder Alley and he could play some basketball and get his face painted. He had a blast!
We were on the front row of our section which was really nice. We didn't have to worry about anyone blocking our view in front of us. And no one was to our left, either, until half way through the third quarter. A really nice man was sitting next to Kolton on our right and would make small talk with him. We shared a thing of nachos and a huge sprite and enjoyed the game! I just am so grateful his teacher and her mom were nice enough to give Kolton tickets for a game. I mean, how nice is that?!
Saturday morning Brady got up with Bentley and took him to go get breakfast for everyone.
After breakfast we started working on our front flower bed. When we moved in the people who put in the plants and bushes did such a weird placement and layout and we've wanted to change it since we moved in but haven't ever gotten around to it. Well, we were finally doing it!
It ended up raining on us. And it was a cold rain. But it was fun! Kolton entertained Bentley while Brady and I worked every muscle in our body haha. Pulling those pushes out was HARD! And then the dirt under there was half dirt/half thick clay with old bricks and wood pieces thrown in there. That made it hard to use the shovel because every time you'd try and push it down in there you'd hit something. So we had to do a lot with our hands. We were sore!!
That afternoon we went and got flowers and planted them. I like it so much more now!
That evening we went to the Himes with the Landrums and Widdisons and played kick ball and ate dessert. It was a lot of fun! Bentley is so good at just playing with himself when we go to friend's houses or are outside. It is awesome! And then Kolton had tons of people to play with so he was having a blast!
Sunday was fast Sunday since last week was conference. I got to stay in relief society until 3:45, so that was awesome! Haha. When we left Bentley started waving at everyone and telling them "buh-bye" really loudly. Haha. We just couldn't make a quiet exit. He's too funny. Then after church I had a girl's camp meeting. We are two months away from camp! I am so not prepared! Haha. I have felt good about what I've accomplished so far but now it is time for me to actually start buying stuff etc. and it feels overwhelming. But, I know it will all work out and be awesome I hope! :)
Part of the deal with Brady's new truck was that the dealership would put in a remote start. So on Monday I took the truck in and they gave me a loner car. Since the gas was free :) I drove up to Brady's work and met him for lunch. Bentley loved dipping his fries in the ketchup! Then on the way back they were done with the truck so I stopped and picked it up. We had a family home evening lesson on being kind and made a chart for us to write down this week when someone does something nice for us. We then watched the Thunder game together and were happy we won!!
This morning I got up and cut Brady's hair. Meant to do it on Saturday but we got all into doing the flowerbed that we forgot. Then when Bentley woke up he found some cookies and just asked in the sweetest way I couldn't say no. He tilts his head so far to the side that his whole body is leaning sideways and talks in the highest pitch voice when asking. It is just too sweet. He absolutely loved it and kept saying "mmmmm." Too funny.
After scriptures I cut Kolton's hair too. He hadn't had one in like two months and a half months! He needed it.
These two boys are just too cute. Kolton sure can pester Bentley but on the other hand he can make him happier and giddier than anyone! I love it!
