OKC Run Weekend

Both of my siblings have been participating in one of Oklahoma's Memorial races for years now. This year we took the opportunity to meet up over that weekend to cheer on both of them during their runs!

Expo - checking out the race mapping

Waiting for the family pic with Uncle A.J.

Family Pic!

Saturday 5K for Heather - her cheer squad needed coffee/milk/hot chocolate. ;)

We decided to start documenting the height difference...
will Makin catch up to Uncle A.J.? :)

We stayed downtown so we would be close to the race - enjoyed this view!

Heather ran the half marathon and had her best time yet!

The kids enjoyed making signs with Nana during her visit to our place in March.
This sign was the biggest hit and Makin had his work cut out for him cheering on the runners.
So many runners loved it, said they needed it, and even thanked him!

A.J. ran his first (and possibly last) full marathon!

Great job Heather and A.J.!
We are proud of you!

We also enjoyed several meals and some games at Heather's place - but no pics!

Thanks for having us Heather!

We loved a chance to catch up with the Romeos at their house
followed by supper at The Chicken Shack. We sure miss living near these friends!

Pops - a fun Route 66 stop.

We also had a yummy breakfast with Heather and A.J. Monday morning before heading back home.

April Adventures

RC Plane

We had a gorgeous low-wind day and he loved a chance to fly his rc plane!

Dog-Sitting

Lorelei enjoyed dog-sitting again this month! We are so thankful for the friends who support her goals of saving and getting more training experiences!

Solar Eclipse

WOW! What an amazing opportunity we are going to treasure forever! We were in the path of totality and took a few hours out of our day to head to the lake to get this special experience! 

"The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands." - Psalm 19:1

Game Time

We are working to get better about having family game time once a week. Had a great time playing Beet The Parents one afternoon.

Masters Sunday Afternoon

We enjoyed taking in the Masters. Had to include this sibling-selfie. :)

Nerf War

Anything Nerf is a highlight of the week for Makin! So thankful a mom planned a group Nerf War at a nearby park!

Wild Horses

One of Lorelei's passions is raising awareness for various causes. One she has been very invested in is Wild Horse round-ups. She decided to put a message about them on our driveway.

Movies

We typically do not have many movies we feel are worth the price to see in the theater, but the last month or so has included several gems we just had to see. I went to Someone Like You with friends, and as a family we went to see The Long Game and Unsung Hero. So excited to see some family-friendly quality films coming out!

Monthly Date

A new coffee shop with a view and played a few rounds of Bananagrams. :)
