Thunder Up!

Jack and I went one first round playoff game, Thunder vs. Mavericks.  My employer has a lottery that you can put your name into to receive tickets. We were so happy to get to go to a game and we absolutely loved our seats.

"Team is Community" Shirts.

Yup, that's pretty close.

We were (apparently) on TV as they panned they crowd. Also, we made an appearance on the Kiss Cam. Maybe I added that to my bucket list so I could cross it off...

The Thunder swept the Mavs in this series and went on to play in the Finals. Unfortunately, we lost to the Heat, but we (and the entire city) are so proud of the team!!

Week with Beau

Duncan had his best friend Beau over for a few days back in April while his parents (Jordan and Trey) went house hunting. Duncan and Beau had so much fun!

Beau, proud of his hole he dug.

Sharing a toy.

They definitely muddied up our patio.

They are pretty good friends.

Rest time on the couch.

Duncan misses Beau since he has moved, but he hears Beau is loving his new backyard to run around in.

Woof.

Quick Hello

I had my night perfectly planned to update with so long over due posts. As it turns out, my pictures from the last few months are all over the place - my phone, Jack's phone, and my camera. So, tonight turned into a "let me get organized". I plan to update this baby over the weekend.

Until then. Here's a picture:

Hope you are staying cool!

See you this weekend.

overdue rants and raves

Here's a few rants and raves that we (maybe just me) have experienced during the lack of blogging time....

1. 90's on 9 is the best station on SiriusXM. 

2. Paying bills is the worst part of being a grown up.

3. We are ready for our red clay to be covered in green grass. I am tried of wiping red dust off my sweet Duncan Dog's nose.

4. Vacations are an important part of life.

5. We are ready for our friends to stop moving away (you know who you are). On the other hand, we are happy some friends have moved northward towards us!

6. Our tree in our front yard may or may not be half dead.

7. I (Kayla) am needing to watch Bad Boys 2, but my favorite Bad Boys 2 gal is about 1,700 miles away (come back to Oklahoma).

8. I (Kayla, again) wishes the Quillen's lived closer so we could all go see MIB3, cause the first one holds some pretty special memories for us (at least for me).

9. Playoff season is somewhat enjoyable, especially when the games end before midnight.

10. I (Kayla) think I could eat PW's pineapple grilled chicken quesadilla everyday. Delicious. 

11. I said I would end on 10, but oh well. Allergies stink. They should be punished.

Since my last post, a few things have happened:

- Jack graduated with his MBA!

- I moved offices (which now Jack and I have an actual potential to carpool to work)

- Wedding season has started (which has resulted in a somewhat 7 year high school reunions and the after college date party)

I'll be a bit better with this blog. At least I know my grandma likes reading it.

Up is the only way to Thunder.

Two things...

1. I think we are all in the wrong business. We all need to start making sheets. Yes, bed sheets. Because you can charge $30 for two pillow cases.. the same amount for one fitted sheet. It's either a rip off or the most brilliant marketing plan ever - when you buy new sheets you want to have matching pillow cases. Maybe this fact is well known, but I was blown away at the cost of our new sheets.

2. I was called old for the first time this week by the radio station. One of our favorite stations on XM is "90s on 9", which plays all the best music from 1990 to 1999. I happened to be listening to their sister station (which they have tons 60s on 6, 70s on 7, etc) The Pulse (or was it Pop2K... nonetheless) and they said "if you are listening to 90s on 9, you are too damn old." Thanks. I enjoy music from the 90s. Although I was three when 1990 roll around, I don't think I am THAT old.  I got a laugh out of this more than shopping for sheets.


That's all.
Thunder up.

The Hunger Games

This past Monday, Jack and I drove down to the Warren Movie theater in Moore to see The Hunger Games in their new IMAX theater. I have read all the books; Jack hasn't, but I really want him to read them. They are such easy, quick reads that keep you turning the pages. I can't wait to own the movie and see the next two!

I didn't take this picture, but the place is beautiful!

In our seats, looking very, very blue.

The nice curtain that raises before the movie starts.

The movie was great. The theater was great. Definitely worth the drive down.

May the odds be ever in you favor...

Green Grass!

We are pleasantly surprised to have such green grass so early. We signed up for Scott's to come treat our yard this year (since last year wasn't quite the best for our young yard). It's exciting to see the weeds disappear and little Bermuda grow!

It looks great from the street. Up close, you can still see dormant grass. We are optimistic we will have great green grass this year!

And, I think our tree survived the drought! Hallelujah!


Happy Spring. Stay away allergens.
