Oklahoma for the Weekend

Once Nick's work week finished in Dallas, we drove downtown through the beginning of some flooding to pick him up and head to Oklahoma to see Nana and Pawpaw. It was an eventful trip weather-wise until we were north of Dallas.

We arrived just in time to pack everyone back in the car to head over to Dom's last baseball game. After the game, Pawpaw ran Matt around the bases, backward for some reason.

Matt tried to convince Pawpaw to go the other way.

Uncle Mike brought Abby & Dom over to hang out. Matt took advantage of the attention.

He did really well with his new Spiderman bat and ball from Pawpaw.

He enjoys hitting baseballs, but shortly after Uncle Mike started giving him tips, he was done. Oh well!

Time for the Super Soakers!

Matt adores his cousin Dom and just loves playing with him.

At one point, Matt was standing straight over the water gun and squirting himself in the forehead. Unfortunately I didn't get a photo of that, but you get the idea.

Jonathan enjoyed the rocking chair and a little light reading to Molly!

We had to remove the rocking chair from the room though, because shortly after this Jonathan showed off his climbing skills. He stood up in the chair and just smiled!

Playground time and cheesy smiles!

Jonathan explored all the slides he didn't get to last time we were there.

Matt and Pawpaw went through 2 buckets of balls just pitching and hitting for fun!

Jonathan did some more climbing and sliding while Matt hit the baseballs.

You can't really see their faces, but I just love this photo.

His first tunnel slide!

Jonathan was in his own world in the swing while Matt was hitting. Look at all the baseballs in the background.

The rare shot of the 2 of them together on the playground.

More pool time and this time with a mask. We were all laughing at the expressions Matt had while wearing the mask. It was so entertaining!

I think he was determined to get Pawpaw with the soaker at this point.

Enlarge this one and check out Matt's eyes. I have no idea why he liked wearing these. They look so uncomfortable for his eyes in this shot!

Jonathan was amused by trying them on, but wouldn't keep them on long enough for a good picture.

This is Matt's "starfish with puffy cheeks" he is learning in his swimming lessons. He was showing some of his tricks to Nana and Pawpaw.

He's getting there, but at this point was still resistant to putting his face underwater by himself.

He kept requesting to go underwater with me.

Trying to teach Jonathan some of what Matt's learning.

We went to Celebration Station one morning for some fun & games. They had a blast.
I introduced them to bowling.

Matt had so much fun exploring all of the games.

Jonathan got to roam around a bit, but the stroller was a necessity so we could keep track of everyone!

Matt cracked me up on this bike game. He looked right at home.

Jonathan really wanted to lift up the guitar, but it was TOO heavy!

Skee ball games were a hit. Jonathan kept on top of things by handing us a ball for each turn.

The cutest puppy next door, named Sandy, wanted Matt's attention. He decided to take a picture of her.

Matt took this picture of us out in the backyard.

Jonathan had a bit of a routine when we were playing out front. He went from the driveway, down the sidewalk and up to the front door. He kept going back and forth with minimal deviations!

He had to take a rest break from his walk.

Back to business

Don't know if he's holding up the tree or trying to push it over.

More baseball for Matt!

Jonathan let Nana have her chair back and sat for a second in his own chair.
