Game 7

I walked around today like I was floating on air.  Not one minute to spare most of the morning but a heart full watching our two oldest children do what the have a passion for.  We do not push them into any activity but encourage them to consider things and stay involved with something active.  For our son its all about a ball!  Football to be exact. He plays and watches all other sports but football has always been extra special to him...since he was 3!

He has been blessed with consistent coached and a strong team!

Today was their seventh game and the competition was strong.  They other team had not lost, they had a tie but like us no losses!  It was the toughest game by far.  They coaches had prepared them well and they won!

 

 

( I have pretty much stopped trying to get game shots because its impossible!)

 

Win number 7 was closer than any other. 

Our TMR Bulldogs won 14-7 but it was a hard fought victory!

So proud of #25!!

First Horse Show

 Big sis has really falled in love with Peanut.

Peanut is a horse at the stables were she rides weekly.

He is a calm gentle and sometimes stubborn guy but she loves him!

Today she got to participate in her first show with him.

She was excited and soaked up every single minute she was at the barn.

It was heart warming to see her compassion for these animals. 

She rode beautifully as well!

 

 

 

 

She placed second for her age group in both events!

 

Once her events were over she and grandma hung around the barn to watch the other girls while the rest of us darted to brother's game!  During her down time she hung out with Peanut anytime he wasn't being shown.  Very cute!

 

So proud of our confident, happy and loving girl!

Fall Beach Trip

Brother's football team had a bye week so we took off for a weekend at the beach.

It was nice to get away and have two days to just hang out!

 

 

We arrived late and took a night walk on the beach,

 

read lots of books,

 

soaked up the sunshine,

 

swam,

 

collected,

 

 

acted silly,

 

relaxed,

 

 

played, 

 

fed,

 

jumped waves,

 

and enjoyed family time!!!!

 

Twenty two years ago tonight we went on our first date.

We knew that night we'd be together forever!

So thankful the Lord gave us each other at such a young age.

We've grown stronger with each day, trial, sickness and  birth!

 

Preschool Picture Day

 

Lil sis is so special and has the most wonderful personality.

This is great until you try to get her to wear something she doesn't want to!

So on picture day I had a few choices for her and she was not having them. 

Yes, she is 3 and I am the parent but battles are chosen carefully around here!

No matter the dress she picked she is beautiful!!!

We love that you are strong, confident and have opinions!!!
