Fun Night With Friends

Tonight Ry & C hung out with some sweet friends and had a blast!!!!

It's Friends Like These

That I'm thankful that my big boys have. 

And servant minded peers like these

That are out at 7:00 am on a Saturday because they want to be. I'm thankful for their like mindedness. 

Thank you, Lord for pouring out blessings on our children!

Full Day

Today was a full day!

First, Our youth group had its annual "Incoming 7th grader" day. Brogan is moving up this year so it was her turn to participate. She is so excited to be "official" in the youth group. She has been in there with me for the last couple of years but hasn't been able to participate in the extra events. Now, she is ready to be 100% a part of the group!  Her and her friends had a blast today...

Today was also a friends birthday so we had a fun-filled sleepover while her husband took her out for the evening. Nine, yes 9, kiddos total and all boys except Brogan. They had a ton of fun!

Chick-fil-A cow

We always enjoy Chick-fil-A. Everything about the franchise is right on par. Their food is great, the atmosphere is perfect and their customer service is always awesome.

We don't have one here but the one we visit was giving away mini cows to anyone that wanted one. Once you got your cow you were to take a picture while on vacation and send it in. The three younger ones all got a cow so they could take pictures with it but Rylen was the only one that followed through. He was so excited!  As soon as he got it he saw a police officer in the parking lot and asked if he could take a picture with him. We told him he would have to ask the officer himself and, HE DID!!  The officer said "Are you sure that's what you want to do?" And when Ry said yes he said "Okay buddy" and got out of his car for the picture. It was so sweet. 

We didn't get our picture in in time for the contest and we didn't win a prize but Ry had fun taking pictures that day with his Chick-fil-A cow!

Soccer is a girl's best friend

Did we ever end because somehow I don't remember a break?!

After the season ending in May we played a tournament then went right into camp in Bryan for the month of June. July began practices and try outs for the Fall season and today we had our first scrimmage for the Fall. 

Baseball may have me in a hurried tissy for 3 months but soccer has me going steadily all year long. And, the thing is, they never tire of any of it. In fact, they are constantly outside throwing, hitting and kicking. 

Brogan's team is preparing to move up to u13. They will be a young team (a few 10 yr olds, mostly 11 year olds like B, and a couple of 12 year olds) but they held their own tonight against another u13 team from Willis. She loves the sport and is looking forward to the upcoming season!

New Drivers

This is what has been going on in our house over the last week...

Someone please help me!!!

Last 1st tooth

Well, the "firsts" are slowly ticking away. Today Ry lost his 1st tooth!! 

He was so excited!  It's been wiggling for a few days now. We were hoping it would come out before daddy left but it didn't come out until this afternoon. The first thing he wanted to do was take a picture and send it to Jeremy so we did. The next thing he wanted was...

To get his first $1 for his first tooth. He didn't have to ask because I have had it  waiting for him :)

Happy sad day...getting down to the last of the firsts with this little guy growing up!

Top Golf

Top Golf with the family today. The guys have been here a couple of times and Jeremy wanted to bring the littles so here they are...

Everyone had a fun time and believe it or not Rylen actually had the top score one round. It was a great day as a family!
