Memorial Day Weekend

We had so much fun this Memorial Day weekend! It felt as if we were on the go the whole time. We started out with fun in the pool and bbq's with Jen, Aaron and Tristan. The boys had lots of fun playing in the pool. Kale went crazy and loved running around and splashing. Saturday night we had another bbq and water playdate with some friends of ours Keith and Natalie Hudkins and their boys David and Andrew. Kale has so much fun playing with boys his age...or a little older. He is normally surrounded by a bunch of girls! :) On Sunday, the "big pool" in our complex opened so we took Kale in it for the first time this warm season. He loved jumping in and using his big boy floaties! Later that day Evan's parents came into town to spend the day with us. We decided to go to the zoo. It was a ton of fun. Kale really loves animals and loves to hear them making sounds and he tries to copy them. We were surprised to find out that Kale is afraid of snakes. We took him into the building where all the snakes were and he loved saying "snake" everytime he saw one...until we got the the giant anaconda :) He then decided he had enough of snakes and starting whining and crying to go bye bye. I thought it was funny that he wanted to go to me when he was afraid of the snakes...bc Evan can definately run faster to get away if need be. But we decided it was because I would be running and Evan would hang back to look at the snakes if they got out! Overall we had a GREAT Memorial day weekend!

Kale decided that the dog bowl was a lot more interesting to play in than the pool!

Tornado Siren...

This May was the first time Kale has heard the tornado siren and been interested in what it was...at first it really scared him and he came running to us. After a minute or so he became interested and kept looking out the window and copying the sound. He also really loves watching the rain from his playroom windows. Here are a few pics from that day...and if I can figure out how to do it there will also be a video :)

Kale wondering..."what the heck is that noise..."

First he was scared of the siren....(Vader gets freaked...he doesnt like sirens) :)

(its short...but you can barely here him copying the siren) :)

A day at the zoo...

We had such a fun time today playing at the new Children's Zoo in OKC. Kale's favorite part of the zoo is now the waterfall and river. He does not care about going to see the animals he just wants to make sure that we are going to go to the "wa-wa" (his name for water). We went with Shea (Kale's gf :)), Tristan (Kale's cousin) and Cooper (Kale's friend), and had an excellent time. Here are a few pics of the kids playing in the water...
