Zoo

Today my friend Chris and I decided to take our boys to the zoo. It was a beautiful day to go and when we got there it was like we had the zoo to ourselves. Reece had so much fun!! I'm really glad I took him sense we didn't get to the zoo this summer with the family. Reece loved looking at all the different kinds of animals.

Oh what a cutie!! He said he was the turtle.

Reece and Blake had a lot for fun playing on the playground. There inside a giant egg.

Ben started doing his student teaching today!!!!! We are all so excited for him to do this so he can finish and really start teaching and of course, coaching! He said everything went well, the kids were not to rowdy for him:) Ben is still going to be working while he does his student teaching so we're just praying he can stay awake the whole time. We know he will do an awesome job. He is a natural when it comes to teaching and helping kids learn. Way to go Ben we all love you!!!

Happy Birthday Brylee!!

Brylee turned 7 today!!! She woke up early and got right to opening her presents.
All Brylee wanted for her birthday was a barbie bed to go in her barbie house. She was very happy after opening her presents. (she did get a barbie bed)
Brylee had a birthday party and invited some of her friends. I don't do party's very well and so I asked her what she wanted to do and she wanted a BBQ party. So we had some hot dogs and the girls just played it was fun!!! Brylee with all her friends waiting to open her presents.

They loved playing on the tramp!!!!

Mitchell Football Game

Mitchell had his first game last week. For most of the boys its there first time playing and there trying to learn how to play, so needless to say the first game was a rough one. The coaches they even had a rough time knowing what to do. So they got back to practice and made some changes that really helped! These are some pictures of his 2nd game and boy did they play so much better! Mitchell is still a little intimidated and gets pretty scared to go after the guys and hit them. Ben says it takes time to understand that its fun to hit and you wont get hurt it you hit them hard. We are sure proud of Mitchell for trying his best and working so hard!!!!!!
Mitchell's whole team getting a pep talk!
After the game shaking hands
Mitchell is #24 he plays running back and linebacker. Way to go Mitchell!!
