Oklahoma!!

Well, Dyson and I had a wonderful weekend together! We attended Tre's birthday party, at which Dyson and the other kids had a wonderful time- despite the fact it was 101 degrees!

We then packed up our things and headed to Oklahoma for the night. J.D. has been working up there for a couple of weeks now, and Dyson hasn't gotten to see his daddy in almost a month. When I pulled up to pick him up, he jumped out of his mom's truck and said, "Remember, Mom? Today is my special day!" To which his mother replied, "I know! I'm so excited for you!" I asked him why today was his special day and he so sweetly replied, "'Cause today I finally get to see my Dad!" His mother then proceeded to tell me that he had been looking forward to this day because he had been really missing his daddy. So, that right there made this trip all the more special!

When we got to J.D.'s rig, father and son were reunited with lots of hugs and kisses! Then J.D. took Dyson up on the floor of his rig, and of course, I had to snap a pic of both of them in their hard hats. (Please do not mind my husband's shirt-I promise he only wears it at work!)

We went to eat pizza, Dyson and J.D. played together for a bit and then off to bed we went! J.D. had to be back at the rig at 5 a.m., but at least we got to see him for a little bit. I gave up my spot next to J.D. because Dyson wanted to sleep with his daddy and there wasn't enough room in the double bed for all three of us. So I slept in the bed next to theirs. Well, I wouldn't exactly say I slept. J.D. was snoring so loud, I couldn't sleep.

Today on the way back, I promised Dyson we could drive by Turner Falls so he could see the falls and we could take pictures. I wish I had brought my bathing suit and we could have stayed for a while! The water looked so nice!
