New nephew and park time!

My sister had a baby, and I got the pleasure of being there with her!  She had a long hard labor, but had beautiful baby boy.  He had respiratory distress so was in the NICU for few days, but is out and doing well.  She did awesome!  

We are selling our house and have showings so we get to spend lots of time at the park.

Dallin has the monkey bars down now.

lots of running and rolling

I just wish it would cool down a little. 

Michael was gone for the week, but he still found time to cuddle with Evan.  Our kids love books.  I find myself reading the same ones many many times, and we go to the library weekly.

The kids had Grandparents day at school.  Dallin had to turn this figure into an ancestor.  We decided on a pioneer.  I think it turned out okay.  I usually have Michael deal with the artsy stuff, but he was gone.

We had another Saturday full of soccer.  Leah scored her first goal!  I was so excited and was debating whether to take a pic, but was afraid I would miss it while digging for phone.  I just enjoyed it and didn't get a picture.  Dallin and Joshua's team is really good this year. The other coach asked if they could play with them to learn from them.  Joshua and Dallin's team are doing really well at passing the ball.  Dallin scored 4 times and Joshua scored 1.  It is fun to see how they are growing and learning.  Evan can't wait for his turn!

Fun Weekend!

Fall soccer has officially started.  Michael is coaching all of our kid that are in soccer.  This was Leah's first game.  She was excited.

Joshua played well and had fun!

Dallin scored two goals and had a great time!

Leah's team is young and learning lots.  

The big boys went to the air show, so the little ones had fun in a box.

Joshua wants to be pilot.  He has checked out every book he can get his hands on about fighter jets multiple times.  He was in heaven at the air show!  He said it was the best day of his life!  Dallin, Michael, and Tony all agreed it was awesome!

They got to see the Blue Angles fly and see an f18 and f22.

Riding bikes!

We started out the week with the dreaded stomach bug.  Leah and Aunt Jenny started it off and it went through all of us, except Dallin.  Dallin was immune.

I went down next.  Michael had to go to work and I was sick, so Leah and Evan took the freedom and enjoyed it.  Leah decided to paint her brother and herself.  She tried to wash hers off before she saw me.  We all survived and are feeling good now.

We have been riding bikes and hanging with neighbors.  

Michael's cousin Vivian taught my kids to play ghost in the graveyard, so they have taught the neighbors.  They have a good time in the evening.

My boys are finally starting to ride on their own!  They are doing so good!

I am so proud.

Leah and Evan enjoyed the swings while their brothers practiced riding.

Back to School

Joshua is now a 3rd grader.  He excited to take on the third grade!  He didn't hate the first week of school so we are doing good.  

Dallin is second grade.  He started at a new school this year and is doing great.  After the second day he said he liked school.  We are warming up to it.  

Both boys are in the same school this year, which helps me out a lot!  They ride the bus every morning.

Leah and Evan on the first day of school saying goodbye to their brothers.  Next year Leah will be going with them.  Time flies!

My sister had a Birthday and we made her this fun cake for her.  It is her Fantasy Football team name.  Yay!  for football season!

Last Week Before School

We hit the wave pool yesterday.  The kids loves playing in the waves.

We had a great time getting knocked around by all the waves.

We got rain this week.  We haven't had rain in too long.  The kids had to take advantage and get out there.

On Thursday was our true anniversary.  Michael had flower delivered.  So sweet!

It cooled off a little this week after the rain so we played at the park in the afternoon.

Leah is getting better at those monkey bars.  

Tomorrow school starts, should be exciting!

10 Year Anniversary Celebration!

My sister was so great and took my kids for the night.  Michael and I went to a bed and breakfast.  It was fun to get away for the night.  The room was nice and a huge bed!

It also had a fancy bathroom.

Our room was named the Texas Star.  ha ha

We were on the Brazos riveer.  

We swam in the pool and walked the square.  We ate out and relaxed.  It was nice!

In the morning while waiting for breakfast we watched the boats on the water. 

We had a great time and really appreciate Jenny taking my kids!  Thank You!

On Saturday evening we went to Uncle David's house and ate dinner.  We also made homemade ice cream.  It was delicious!  We had a great time there too!
