spring in January

We had the most beautiful weather today. It got up to 73 and you'd better believe that we made the most of this beautiful Saturday! I used to hate how inconsistent Oklahoma weather is, but now I love the variety our weather provides, especially when the nice days fall on the weekend. It was so nice for the boys to be able to put on shorts and spend the entire afternoon outdoors (Connor goes out every day regardless of the weather, but Coby and Cale absolutely refuse to go out on cold days).

Coby and Cale had fun riding the truck together and then they played "Driver" where one is a police officer and one is a bad guy. They chase each other around in the tractor and truck. They had a blast!


Connor played basketball ALL afternoon just as he does every day. He plays for hours at a time and is really good at it. Darren and I played a few games of P-I-G with him and {not surprisingly} I got my tail kicked each and every time!
I. can't. believe. this. pic. Connor looks so grown up and so handsome! {I really hate that I cut off 1/4 of his face}

the boys had fun riding their bikes too. Connor and Coby biked over to GramPat and Papa's new house (they built just two blocks away from us and moved in today...we can actually see their house from our cul-de-sac) We're really excited about their new place and I just love that Connor and Coby can bike over there by themselves. I think that is going to be so fun for them! (Cale was pretty perturbed that I wouldn't let him ride over too....now that wouldn't be dangerous...not at all!)

Darren took the t-tops off the vette and he and Coby went for a drive around the 'hood. Then, I took a drive in it with Coby...so much fun! (I just can't wait until it gets painted and he gets all of the exterior parts put back on...it's going to look great when it's done!)

Darren told Coby he could drive it if he could start it (as D thought there was no way Coby could get it started...you have to give it gas to get it started). Coby had NO problems getting it started and was disappointed when he found out that he wasn't going to be taking it out for a spin. He was crouched down, giving it gas and was seriously all set to go! We're going to have to keep a close eye on Coby!




My sweet little bug was worn out by evening!
{Notice the lovely scab under his nose? Poor little thing, he got that while walking to class on Monday. To get to the pre-K classes the kids have to go through the main building and then walk outside to get to to their class entrance. Cale tripped on a rock outside and fell just outside his classroom. Luckily Cale's teacher had her door open and said that she heard crying outside her door. She looked out and Cale was lying down crying. It just broke my heart when I heard. I felt sick about it all day long! I am so thankful that Mrs. B heard him, but I just hate that he fell down like that and I wasn't there for him. :(}

Today was GREAT! I'm glad we took advantage of the fabulous weather because tomorrows high is 43! It was good while it lasted.
