Fall

This is Sam going to his last game of the season.  He enjoyed soccer, but his team didn't win a single game.  I am glad he had fun and doesn't care about winning yet!

 MeMom decorated her front yard for Halloween and it was a hit with Ben.  We had to drive by it every night before going home.  He called it his spooky.  He is going to be sad when it has to come down!

 Grandaddy had help picking up the pecans.  Sam and Ben loved to go out with him to see if there were any pecans to pick.  They loved gathering them and bringing them in to see who picked up the most!

Cute Boys

It seems like everywhere we go these days, we are running late!  Today, we had a few minutes before we left for church.  I love my two handsome boys!

Fall Break 2013

Today is the last day of our Fall Break.  Matt and I are very blessed to have the same breaks to spend together.  We did not go anywhere, but we spent every day together and we were very busy the entire week!  

We started our week with Chuckie Cheese, which is always a hit.  I am not for sure who had more fun, the boys, me, or Daddy!  This was our first trip to Chuckie Cheese where we felt Ben truly enjoyed the games!   Of course, we left with a few silly prizes and lots of memories.  It seems we always dread going, but when we leave Matt and I always say, "We should come here more often!"  

During the week we were able to catch up on odd and end tasks around home and at Matt's school.  It was a great sense of accomplishment to see everything we did.  The house is clean inside and out and Matt is is caught up on his "to do" list at school.  

On Tuesday, we went to the Tennessee Safari Park in Alamo TN.  I have to say, it was the highlight of the week.  If you have small kids, this is a trip you do not want to pass up.  The animals came to our car and ate right out of our hands.  It was like going to a zoo except the animals were inches away from you!  

I was called to be a teacher.  I love every part of my job, but I have to say, I look forward to Fall Break, Christmas Break, Spring Break, and Summer Break!!   Our lives are very busy, but we are happy doing what we do.  It is so nice though to slow down and spend all week doing things for yourself!

I spent 9 days with my three favorite boys...I am so blessed!!

Silly Saturday

Water Hose

One of the best things about living in the country is when we are able to play outside.  Some of our best days this summer were playing outside blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk, driving the jeep, and catching bugs.  It seemed as if most play days outside ended with the kids playing in the water!  Who would have thought the water hose could be so much fun!  

The Ham

This is Ben one afternoon at Sam's soccer practice.  This little bridge is near his field and Ben loves playing on it.  When I pulled the camera out, this was Ben's reaction.  He loves to act silly and smile for the camera.  These are my two favorite ones from this afternoon!  When I look at them, I can hear him saying, "cheese!"

Brothers

Sam and Ben fight on and off all the time, but they truly are best friends!  I love watching them play together and help each other.  When I look at the first picture, I laugh because for some reason, this is the position Sam gets in every time I tell the two of them to get together.  Sam putting Ben in a choke hold!  

Just in the past few weeks, Sam has starting allowing Ben to come into his room at bedtime.  Ben loves to lay and watch Sam play games on the IPAD.  I think it annoys Sam a little, but I love watching them!  

Meow, Meow....this cat craft is what they did with MeMom this past week!
