Camping

We went camping in February with some of Brady's family.  It was one of the best weather we've had on a camping trip! There wasn't any bugs...like at all really! And the temperature was great! Wasn't hot or too cold! It was just the best weather for camping! Jaycee and Adam and Brady's parents came with us.  We drove to Doris Campground near Lawton.  The boys were all so cute together!

There was a fishing spot right off our campground but we didn't have much luck there.  The boys tried a few times and I think caught one little fish if I remember correctly. 

We did hotdogs for dinner and the boys loved it.  Then that evening we had s'mores and of course everyone loved those! :) Well, actually, Bentley just liked eating the cold marshmallows and Reese's.  :)

The boys did pretty good sleeping that night.  We had a bed set up for Bentley but he just ended up sleeping with me.  Brady's mom made everyone breakfast burritos for breakfast and then we packed up and headed over to the mountains for some hiking and fishing.  Jaycee and I went up the mountain for about 5 minutes before heading back down with Bentley and Carter.  It was super rocky and just too hard for them to navigate.  We hung back and kind of watched Brady and his dad fish and then let the boys just play.

The boys found a ladybug and played with it for, I kid you not, 20 minutes.  They would just pass it back and forth between each other.  It was so cute.  They were loving it!

Kolton, Landon, Adam, and Brady's mom hiked to the top! What a pretty view!

After hiking we headed over to another fishing spot and they tried fishing for a little bit before giving up.  They just weren't having much luck.  We stopped for ice cream on the way home and then got home and crashed! ;) We had such a great time and such great memories were made.  I'm so glad we were able to go and enjoy the beautiful weather!

A Few Pics from February

Just a few sweet pictures of Bentley.  He absolutely loves peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  He loves to sing the peanut butter and jelly song as I make his sandwich and it is so cute to watch and listen to him. 

 Sweet boy sacked out on the living room floor. 

 

 

Took him to the library in February and let him play on the computer.  He thought he was so big and so old! Haha.  I loved it.  I remember when I used to bring Kolton to the library to play on the computers and with the toys there.  Crazy that we are already there with Bentley. 

Fun Times in February (Trip to Omaha and the Fun Run)

I decided to take Bentley to the Science Museum one day and he ate it up.  It was empty there so that was nice! We went with Jaycee and her boys and Bentley had so much fun playing with his cousins.  They've done so much up there recently and have some awesome new areas. 

Kolton's team decided to participate in the end of season tournament.  We didn't sign Kolton up for it because most of the tournament (except for one game) was when we were going to be out of town and honestly this team frustrated us.  Haha.  Hardly any of the kids listened to the coach and our coach was super stingy with playing time and wouldn't let kids play more than half of the game.  I understand that but they are getting older and need playing time to develop etc.  Anyway, we got approached by a couple of the parents asking us to reconsider and let Kolton play.  One dad even texted Brady this huge long text begging us to let Kolton play because according to him the team didn't have a chance without Kolton.  Anyway, long story short we decided to let Kolton play in one of the games.  It happened to be on Tuesday evening so Brady had to miss it.  His team won so they got to move on to the winner's bracket.  Unfortunately for Kolton, that was on Saturday when we would be in Omaha and his team ended up losing on Saturday. 

Kolton's school did a fun run to raise money for new swings.  You ask people to pledge money per lap you run.  Kolton got a totally of $3/lap pledged ($1 from us and $2 from Grandma Moffett) and he was excited because that got him the prize he wanted.  :) He ended up running a total of 53 laps!! I told him at one point to slow down because I didn't want to pay anymore money haha but then I was told that you are maxed out at 35 laps to have to pay for.  Which I was grateful for! :) I got to help mark laps on the back of the kids shirts as they ran by and that was fun!

We left Thursday after school to drive to Omaha.  It was a long drive there! I don't know if it was because half of it was in the dark and so there wasn't' anything to look at or what but it seemed to take forever! We pulled into their driveway at 11 something.  We were so excited to be there though! They've been gone for 3 years and we've been saying that whole time we'd make a trip up there and just never had the chance.  This was the perfect weekend, though, because Brady had Monday off because it was a holiday and Kolton didn't have any sports games (except for that tournament...but that wasn't planned).  Brittney woke Kade up when we got there and those boys had a super hard time going back to sleep.  Finally at 4 something in the morning Brittney threatened to split them up if they didn't go to sleep.  So the finally went to sleep but then were up at 6 something! Haha.  Those boys were crazy!

Sterling had to work a half day on Friday so we hung around and just enjoyed chatting and catching up.  We went on a double date Friday night to a restaurant called Upstream (I think) and then to an ice cream place.  It was just like old times hanging out with them and we loved it! Saturday we got to go to one of Kade's basketball games and to Scheels to ride the ferris wheel and window shop. 

 We also got to go see Sterling's dental office! That was fun too! That night Brittney and I went shopping for some last minute Valentine's Day things.  Bentley sacked out at Target and would not wake up!

 We went to church on Sunday with them and then came home and got everything ready for dinner.  Kolton's stomach started hurting so he was pretty much forced to lay around all day which was a bummer.  Brittney made her famous country style ribs and they were delicious! Kolton napped through dinner which was sad. 

 We left Monday morning to go home.  Man it was such a great trip and we had an absolute blast!! So glad we were finally able to get up there and hang out with them for a weekend! It was perfect! The drive home wasn't near as long as the drive out there.  Haha. 

 And randomly a picture of Bentley at the public library playing on the kid computers.  I don't take him to the library near as much as I took Kolton.  Life is just so much busier now than it was then.  We do get to go there once every couple of months though and I think that keeps it feeling new and exciting for him.  :) 

Few More Pictures from January and February

Here are a few more pictures from the snow we got on January 9th. 

Sometimes when I look at him eating I am just amazed at how much he has grown up.  He looked too cute eating his pb&j sandwich so I had to take a few pictures. 

He got a rash one day.  Never did figure out what it was from and it eventually went away.  It is so weird how his body does this.  There are some things I know cause rashes but then other times they just appear for no reason with no change in diet or soaps or anything. 

February 5th I came out of the shower to find Bentley asleep standing up leaning on the chaise lounge.  Haha. 

February 5th Kolton had his last basketball game of the regular season.  I had to miss it because I had a girls camp overnight training I had to go to that weekend but Brady said he did awesome.  They went to Braums afterwards. 

One day Brady was driving to inspect a house and there was a huge fire on the side of the interstate.  Look how close that was to the road! Crazy!

Nothing more precious than a sleeping baby (or toddler in this case).
